Hello,
I have just resumed the creation of my violin, interrupted for some time.
I'm a bit in difficulty to achieve the volute and neck part which is almost an organic modeling!

So I'm appealing to you for suggestions to make this part of the violin with MoI3D. I attach several images to illustrate my point.

I did a lot of research and found a lot of technical documentation, as well as tutorials with Blender and Modo.

Cristobal Vital has made available a series of very detailed tutorials with Modo where we see that the realization of the Volute part and the handle is quite complex.

The scroll has been on my to-do list since before 2018.

Carving instruction link:

How to carve away wood in MoI? A subtractive process.

Or how to model the surfaces?

Have seen several side views of the scroll of historic violins. They vary.

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. I look at all this to finalize my violin.

I see people(16) uploaded the jpeg image of the listed "Sradivaruis_Betts" violin volute. If you want high and very high quality images in jpeg format of different "Stradivaruis" violins, you have to go to the "Library of congresses" site, for example here: https://www.loc.gov/item/ihas.200154811/
