    Poly selections to object state

    Posted by Jcoursey on October 31, 2006 at 9:45 pm

    Hi Cow.

    I am fairly new to C4D…but I am having the hardest time figuring out how to take a poly selection and make it an object so I can animate the various parts.

    Please see image here for an example of what I am trying to do: https://movies.fatbox.com/JC/Mozaik.jpg

    What is the easiest way to take each letter of the word Mozaik and make each letter it’s own individual object.

    I should note, this model was an imported model from Lightwave.

    Thanks in advance.

    Jason

    -select the polys of the letter you want to separate
    -use the Split command (Structure or Functions)
    -makes a new object with a copy of the selected polys
    (original polys are still there make invis or delete…)
