Great tutorial mike!

I don't think often of using intersection.

Nice tute Mike.

Tip: In Step 2. instead of trimming, select all the curves and hit Boolean>Union.

Cheers

Ah yes! Thanks Danny, I keep meaning to try that.

I use Trim generally for smaller isolated single curve-to-curve editing and it's a force of habit now.

Here's one where I mix 2 radius fillets into that lower area.

You are the man Burr!
You pulled that off in under 4 minutes!

Hahahaaaa. Well, if speed was the goal, then it would be hard to beat simple extrudes and fillets, but the result is not near the beautiousness of that blended/mitered piece you presented.. You KNOW I love the blend!

Cool solutions....

Thanks for showing.

Peace,

>Burr>(Though it sounds a little Spiccolli)

what you mean"Spiccolli"?



>Burr

Mike: sophisticated like ever!

In case anyone was wondering, here's how my version turned out:



Everything but the cable, the screws and the plugs were done in MOI. It was rendered in Softimage with Arnold.

Thanks!

Hi Paul, it turned out great! Looks like you are getting more of the hang of the NURBS modeling workflow.

Paul, That's a beautiful render! Fantastic job!

You've got rough edges, scratches and everything.

Thanks guys!

I used 3D Coat for painting the scratches & bumps. I forgot to mention that.

It is really an enjoyable workflow. I just need to re-think how I normally do things.

Looks great..

Peace,

Great render :)
