Ring modifier can someone help me?

Sorry I seem so childish, I'm trying to learn to model in the Cheetah (I use Sketch up, Blender and Lightwave), but I'm having some difficulties, for example this modifier Ring I can not do work (already read the manual) that will someone has a step by step or tutorial?
 
  1. Create a box.
  2. Select ring modifier.
  3. Drag the ring modifier onto the box.

You mean "Chain Creator"? This one needs a spline to align objects.

Yes - it´s very powerful under the hood.
Have a play with the "dp" settings. ;)

Cheers

I will, Frank, thanks. So you could make a chain, say, a squiggle and it would follow? Like a ball and chain perhaps? It's splines that get me, I need to use them more. It'll sink in in the end I'm sure. :smile: Slowly but surely.

Works great, Frank. :icon_thumbup: Really takes me back to art.

Gerhard Richter, a big influence!

Chains... playing.. :)

attached is the jas file if you want to play.

notes:

My world object is basically a bubble and you can adjust the gradient in the mat editor to change the horizons colors. Also set it to higher emissive to make the day brighter.

the ground is plain :I

the chain is not set to the object so you could play around and give it different splines etc.

There are two invisible (not rendered) point lights that are placeholders for when you need to use caustics, just turn them on and and set them to pure photon before hand.

two panels are the light sources at the exact location of the point lights. They are set to emit white light for the radiocity engine.

The object named "target" is just that the lights and camera will aim at it.

Have fun,

Greg
