Here project i start it today to learn lightwave 3d. Anyone know how to do subdivision level in lightwave.

Looks like you have started in the new program with a good start! I dont know lightwave, so i cant answer that question.

As far as I remember in Lightwave 7.0 you need to click shortcut key TAB, but you will only see how your surface will look when you will apply subdivision

anyone know how to get rid of this tri

[*RedStar*]

Looks like a good start. Are you going for low or high poly though?

[dppd69]

Very good start indeed !!
For the subdvision level, use the shortcut "o", then modify the levels (the Catmull Clark, the one for the N-gons, should be lower). Look at the attached pic.

As for the tri, if I guessed correctly, just select the first two polys of that row and use Bandsaw (0.8 or 0.75) or use the Bridge tool - shortcut "l" (el) -, but you have to select ALL the polys you want to cut except the last one (the tri in your case). Look at the attached pic for the final result.

Hope it helps,
Dario

Thank you for information. I have a question for cars which one is better subdpatch or catmull clark subdivision. I will have update tonight after school. Thank you all for feedback.

Finally someone learning LW!!

SubD and CC do pretty much the same. Only thing is that CC can smooth ngons (>4 sided), and SubD can't. Usually you only have quads and tri's anyway.
Tri's don't have to be bad. LW can smooth them pretty perfectly.

SubD levels: press 'o'. You can set the SubD and CC subdivisions. 5 is good enough mostly.

The mesh looks good sofar Can't wait to see more!

By the way: I suggest to move up your model, or turn the grid off. It's blocking your view when you want to see things.

Oh, another thing: try to model in real scale. Your model is a few meters wide now
It will make texturing a lot easier.

thank you i had bad blueprints so i got a some what aoccurate blueprints. here is smooth version below are not smooth. In smooth version some spot are dark i don't know why all vertices are weld.

The blueprints I used for my attempt weren't that bad. You can find them linked on my site.

I think you're doing a good work in polyplacement. I'm looking forward to see some clay renders of your model.
