Description
DOWNLOAD!!!! Way too big for viewing.Not that you should recreate this specific key, but use this to help you create similar shapes and design your won keyblade. You can follow this step by step for practice though.
Sorry about some areas being vague, let me know if you need more details on any specific steps.
Key tools used here are the magic bevel tool, bridge tool to make the chain, and multi-shift.
both organic and hard surfaces.

by the way can you teach me to add something like a gradient or do you just texture it with a TGA of a gradient (I say TGA because thats the only thing my teacher will let me use)

Gradients are easy and yet annoying
Are you familiar with the surface editor?

yes I'm a bit familiar with it but some parts are still shrouded in mystery

When you click on the "t" in the color/spec/bump/whatever channels you can on the top right select what type of layer it is your working iwth...Image map, Procedural, OR GRADIENT! 
If you really wanna talk lightwave my skype name is lady_silverbeam
Does that help at all? Otherwise I'll need to actually make a tutorial.
Oh and look up william vaughn's tutorials, they are excellent and many.

yeah I just found out about the channels today, I was bored and trying to make a lighter, when I looked online for how to make fire I found out about it.
though for this William Vaughn I never heard of him but I'm still studying up on things.
By the way what version of LightWave do you have

I have it too but I can't figure out how to put on textures, I'm used to LW 7
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you just go to surface editor and choose a image you want to use and for bump maps you just desaturated the image and add more contrast and a bit of brightness
by the way do you know how to make people on LW if so can you make a tutorial about it cuz I want to make a statue

yes....But this weekends is gonna be crazy...so you'll have to wait untill next week at the earliest.
I actually have a model I just started so That would work. I'll make a tutorial as I make it.
I like box modeling. the important part is to have a reference image. You can put it into the backgorund through display options (d) Then make a box, tab it for subpatch and then build from there.
look for the tutorial in the next bit.
also check for william vaughn's tutorials at the newtek lightwave forum.

LOL! Silverbeam is to 3D as Obi is to 2D. I honestly don't think I could ever decently do 3d. No patience.
