Yeah - maybe the idea should be to draw the rough shape of the object, and then go and join the curve together at their corners, etc.

Hard concept, to draw a 3d curve on a 2d screen...

Possibly... But that's not a particularly easy thing to make work really well - it's pretty easy to introduce things like wiggles in curves when you try to apply too many forces to them at different points.

OMG! This is very impressive. Coincidentally I am a helmet designer (www.soap-design) and this blows me away. Moto, skate, snow helmets can be made for sure. A bike helmet is another story. The surfaces are more complex, both external and internal. Currently I sculpt everything out of clay but this direction is a new ball of wax!...er, ball of clay ;-)

Very nice site and designs!

Hi dooki,

It will interesting to see your design use MoI.
BTW, I cant access your site.

Good Luck !

EDIT : I forgot to add .com :)

Thanks guys.

I've only made a helmet for fun, and using sub-D modeling. For production it's good old fashion clay. Not sure why you can't access my site. It's a plain html site.

Hello dooki,

It is simply because the link in your message is incomplete.
It is stated as http://www.soap-design/

I should be http://www.soap-design.com

Very nice helmets by the way.
Do they comply to security norms or are purely aesthetics ?

Thank you sir!
Every helmet must meet the testing norm. It's a safety product first and foremost. Anything beyond the test norms is the fun stuff I get to do! :-)
