8. Clone the banana (Ctrl+c) one time and position the copy on top of the existing
one, with a slight offset as in Figure 8.61.
Figure 8.61 A second banana suddenly becomes top banana.
9. Finally, select the grapes, and position them with the other fruit, resting on the
oranges and the side of the bowl. Feel free to resize, rotate, and reposition the
grapes until you like the way they look. Figure 8.62 shows the bowl of fruit.
Figure 8.62 The bowl is now full of fruit in LightWave Layout.
10. Save your scene and hop back into LightWave Modeler. You can press F12 to
get there.
You can see that working in Layout to position, size, and clone the objects is a bit easier
than doing so in Modeler.You can quickly clone, position, and rotate in real time. Perhaps
more to the point, Layout is where you??™ll render the final scene. There??™s one more thing
to do: create a set for the fruit bowl.
