howboring Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hi Guys! I've tried a few tutorials on making a round ball but am not succeeding I make a line, lathe it. Then go to top view and rotate it so it lies on one of the axis. Then I delete the left side and the center line so it's a half circle. Then I get stuck Anyone know a easy way of making a round ball? Thanks Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMZ_TimeLord Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Create a new, blank model... right-click in the model window and select plug-ins->wizards->Primitive and set the primitive for a sphere. Then you just set your parameters and hit 'create'... and viola, a sphere of your specifications. You will be hard pressed to get a TRUE sphere in A:M, but often it's not necessary to get a perfectly true sphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
