Select the Cave object AND the NURBS Curve object and move them so that the Cave object again is aligned with the camera and the point lamp.ġ2 Select the Default Blender lamp (not the one we placed inside the cave) and delete it. Adjust the NURBS curve so that in top view the cave curves as shown below. Not that immediately, the NURBD Curve has an effect on the Cave object.ġ1 Select the NURBS Curve object. In the Object box, select the NURBS Curve object that we have just created. Press the Add Modifier button and add a Curve Modifier to the Cave object. This will add a new control point to the NURBS curve as shown below.ġ0 TAB out of edit mode. Move your cursor to the right of the control point and hold down the CTRL KEY and left-click. Select the rightmost NURBS control point as shown below. Press SHIFT-A and add a NURBS Curve object.ĩ TAB into edit mode. This will place your 3C cursor at the origin point of the cave object. Press SHIFT-S (Snap) and snap your 3D cursor to the selection. Set the Energy slider to a rather dim.360ħ In the top 3D Viewport window, press Render / Render Image It should look something like shown below.Ĩ Save your Blend file.
