Thanks for sharing these. I just started to experiment with Moi3D so these are really helpful for me as most of the YouTube video tutorials are for more experienced users.
In the video "Bildwerkzeug" you show blueprints of eyeglasses.
I am currently aiming to learn more about eyewear design -
overall measures, radius of glasses, types of hinges, and every
detail a designer needs to know about this topic to be able
to create a production-ready design.
So here is my question if you or anyone in the forum can point
me to professional ressources ! TOM
I simply entered "glasses technical drawings" in the Google image search.
At Pinterest you will find a lot of plans.
The eyeglass manufacturers don't like to give such measures away for fear of being copied.
I took the approximate measurements of my existing glasses and created a redesign.
For reference I took a figure from makehuman http://www.makehumancommunity.org, exported it as obj and imported it into Moi.
I wrote this before getting to the information that you are Swiss. But, I decided to keep my comments because just writing them brought back so many good memories.
In 1981 I was working for a video game company (Astrocade) and we were in discussions with Standard Elektrik Lorenze in Pforzheim.
Had the deal gone through I was to live there for several years. I was really looking forward to it because that was such a beautiful area. But, it was not to be. And, that saddens me because I never learned German and cannot fully appreciate your lessons, which look wonderful.
But, I did get two great things out of the experience. First, my trips to Pforzheim, where I had time to sight-see, and secondly, the privilege of taking the CEO of the Standard Elektrik to the Seigfried & Roy Show in Las Vegas during one CES event. That remains a wonderful memory.
I, for one, whether I can understand German or not, will definitely try to follow along in your classes on jewelry. As I do, I'd like to get back to you if I miss something.
In spite of my not being able to understand more than "Guten tag!" in German, your initial lesson was still very clear to me for a number of reasons.
First, I love the fact that you not only began with a deep dive into the interface and controls; but, did so in the context of creating actual articles.
Secondly, even having used and taught MOI3D for many years, you introduced several completely new features of MOI3D that I had completely overlooked. (I had never even noticed the Up Arrows leading to selections on the "Snap" toggles. And, your TAN line instruction was enlightening.)
Count on me going through every one of your valuable and instructive lessons and enjoy every bit of it.
