Looking around in Blender 2.49 was wondering if the things called metas are printable? Can one use the "Metaball" form a shape and have it be used in 3D printing ? the shapes listed under Meta Balls tube plane
Indeed they are. you`ll just need to conver them into a mesh by pressing "alt+c" there are some settings for them in editing panel.
Thanks for the reply and the key shortcut Like blender ..............it is a little bit over for someone just starting out in modeling with computers.
No problem. Blender was my first contact to cg-graphics, back then I was so exited to find a Free 3D-modelling software I didn´t even think of searching tutorials or guides. I just banged the keyboard trying to find different cool key combinations to do stuff ! :laughing: It took me about 2 weeks learn to build something vaguely regognisable. then I discovered that there are tutorials and stuff on the net from wich I would have learned all and more during those 2 weeks in just few hours... I´ve grown a "bit" more patient now anways here´s some links for blender: http://www.blendercookie.com/ http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/showthread.php?188849-Blender- Fundamentals-First-drop-of-videos-now-available-to-the-publi c
