hollow model

[Alex55]

How would i go about filling in the center of a model, when i made it it ended up being just an outline.

Could you post some screenshots or a more detailed explanation?

Hi Alex, Welcome to A:M,

I looked at your model and played around with a couple of ways to make a ski. From looking a the ones you made I suspect you haven't gone through TaoA:M tutorials yet. (The art of Animation Master) TaoA:M is the first link in the forum under "Getting Started".

 

Largento did some excellent tutorials on understanding how splines and control points work, they are foundHERE.

 

The "easiest" way is to learn how splines work, and how they are persuaded to do your bidding. It may take a little while at first, but it is well worth the effort.

 

Here is a project that contains your model and a model of a couple of different ways of making the skis take a look at these in wire frame and shaded wireframe and maybe it will help.

 

Part of "splinesmanship" is learning to use the fewest amount of Splines and CP's to achieve your desired shape.

 

Best of Luck
