Lightwave newbie needs help

[Shinova]

This is my first venture into Lightwave, thanks to some tutorials:









FEAR MY NOOBNESS!!!!



But here's where I need help though:





I made that by taking two diamond-shaped polygons, copying, rotating one, then repasting it into the same layer as the first one.

Now, I want to make that a solid crystal-like diamond. How do I do that? I tried to use lathe but it turned out all weird and all.

you started all wrong. there are tools for these things. explore the tools, especially platonic solid. if that doesnt work, make a box, select the top and bottom polygons, use the spike tool on them, then delete the middle polygons and set the points they were connect to to have a y value of 0 using the set value tool. then minimize points.

another idea would simply to use the ball tool and make the number of sides 4 and the segments 2
