JAG4D - Wire Frame Effect

This tutorial shows how to make wire frame effect with texturing

Step 1. Create a text spline by hitting this button

Step 2. Add an Extrude NURBS and drag and drop the text spline into the Extrude NURBS

Step 3. Next select the Extrude NURBS and the default for its thickness is set at 20m, you can leave that as it is or raise it to 30 or 50

Step 4. Now select the Extrude NURBS and hit alt +hold down left mouse dragging it, this should copy your nurbs and basically duplicate your 3d text so far

Step 5. Now add an Atom Array Object, Objects > Modelling > Atom Array or by hitting this button

Step 6. Then make one of the Extrude NURBS a child of the Atom array by click + dragging it and dropping it over the Atom Array

Step 7. Now select the Extrude NURBS that is the child of the Atom array (dont select the atom array itself) and Make it editable by selecting Structure > Make editable, by hitting C or by hitting this button

Step 8. Now open up the Extrude NURBS by hitting the little + Next to it. Now you can see its children, The two caps (front and back of the text), select those caps and delete them

Step 9. Select the Atom array object and change the Cylindar and Sphere radius to 0.5

Step 10. Now you should basically have two objects, one is an Atom Array (1) with an extrude nurbs child, the other is the Extrude NURBS (2) with a text spline child

Atom Array (1), and change the settings as shown

Extrude NURBS (2), and change the settings as shown

Step 11. Now place the material we just made on the Atom array object and the other texture on the Extrude NURBS object, then render it.
