Select the Image Plane, making sure that Object selection mode is active (that's the last of the block of 4 pyramids at the top of the workspace) Using the dialog, find your side view and select it - it will load into a flat "plane" which will by default show to the X axis. Open Wings3D, right click on the empty workspace and select "Image Plane". In fact, this model only needs a side view, as the top view is exactly the same and the front view is a cylinder. You can obtain bottom, rear and left elevations as well if desired, but for this model they're not necessary. Step one, then, is to find or draw a 2D flat representation of the model from the three cardinal directions (top, left and front) that are represented by the three main views in Wings 3D. Breaking the model down into various sized cylinders (a new complete cylinder for each change in diameter on the model) adds even more sturdiness and makes it a nice, simple, quick build. With this particular model, the fact that it is basically a cylinder means that it will be quite sturdy on its own. In planning for any prop, durability is to be considered. Note that I'm British, but I will be annoyingly consistent in spelling "saber" with the "e" before the "r" because a lightsaber is an American film-maker's invention and the canonical spelling of the word is the American way. It will therefore need to be quite sturdy. I'm using a human-scale model of a LEGO lightsaber handle for this tutorial - the intent would be for it to be used as a prop or a toy, and maybe have a mockup lightsaber blade put on it, or maybe some lights fitted inside. If it is to be handled a lot (such as a gaming miniature) then it will need to be sturdy and might need internal supports, for example. Will it be handled a lot? Will it be a display model? Will it be something to hang on the wall or give to the kids to play with? Each of these options opens up different issues. Once you have a feel for how the model will look and feel, think about what it will be used for.
Some people make mockups in LEGO or some other building material first. Find some pictures or photos of it if you can, or if it's a self created item, draw it out on paper or in a drawing app a few times to get a feel for the real 3D shape. Part 1: Planning and Building Your 3D Modelīefore you create any 3D objects, plan out what your end model will be.
