SW Model - Crumpled up Paper
SW Model - Crumpled up Paper
(OP)
I am trying to come up with a way to model a crumpled up piece of paper to use in a rendering. Any suggestions?
SW probably isn't the best way to do this, but that is all I have to work with. So is there any way to make completely random shapes is SW (like clouds, popcorn, tissues, ...)
Thanks

RE: SW Model - Crumpled up Paper
So, at the risk of angering the SW Gods, I would suggest you look into other packages like Rhino 3D, which you can get a demo download for free. Also free are some neat Open Source packages like Blender. You really could just do a search in your favorite internet engine for "Open Source CAD" or whatever. Actually, Wikipedia has a great page dedicated to cataloging a huge volume of packages, what they are used for, prices (if not Open Source), etc.
Just a friendly, generalized suggestion. Good luck!

If for reason to have to model it, maybe use the freeform feature.

Next, take a look at the intersect tool and surfacing. This may give you the look you're after with a bit of trial and error.
