I will just add tommorow some legends under the images for customise a little this superb tutorial!

Merci Beaucoup Pilou!!! =-D

It looks great!
I'll work on the web site links soon.

Here is my "Hand" rendering of the skillet. (I am so hungry now.)

This took about an hour using Taron's Verve fluid-dynamics painting program.

Once Taron allows for input of images to trace from, Verve and Moi will be quite a pair!

Appetizing! :)

Great tutorial Mike.

French Translation definitely done! :)

No problem, that is showing possibilities of differents units! :)

It's the Flare with Fin-X (not to be confused with Finex) Technology from a company called Lakeland.

The heat sink built into the bottom of these pans are designed to better transfer rising heat while better ducting the heat along the pan's surface.
Hopefully the inside surface is smooth, because I imagine it would be a nightmare to clean burnt food from inside of those grooves.

It's worth a model.

Mike - You're the master modeler of household appliances.

It's a proven fact that everything works better when you add fins. Everything.

Now, I'm going down to the junkyard, get out my welder, and make a set of new pans for my wife.





I love the smell of coffee and brake fluid in the morning!

Great tutorial, Mike, thanks a lot for sharing.

Now that I know more about MoI's tools and workflow than in my early months, I really have to go through all of the tutorials on your site again. Very educational.

You're welcome. :-) Enjoy!

Mike - mighty!

Which UI settings are you using? Enjoying that blue...

Cheers,

You know, Rich...I didn't pay much attention to that before, but it is a great look.
Do tell, Mike! :-)

Thanks! ;-)

Your UI colors can be set in the .ini file.
Here are some examples listed under [view]: (Also within the View and Grid panels in the Options)

BackgroundColor=68,89,96
LockedObjectsColor=150,171,175
SurfaceColorMode=ByStyle
SurfaceFixedColor=192,192,192
EdgeColorMode=Darkened
EdgeFixedColor=187,187,187
EdgeLightenFactor=0.0
EdgeDarkenFactor=0.32
CurveColorMode=ByStyle
CurveFixedColor=0,0,0
LineUnselectedColor=0,0,0
LineSelectedColor=0,255,250
SurfaceUnselectedColor=255,245,245
SurfaceUnselectedTransitionColor=208,255,255
SurfaceSelectedTransitionColor=128,255,250
SurfaceSelectedColor=0,239,235

You can also tweak the aspects of each grid element.

My wife had this cool plastic cutting pad for crafts. It had a grid and a dark color scheme which I went for.
Since Moi's default objects are neutral-to-light shades, a darker background shows them up better.

As for the selected lines, Yellow has always been my least favorite color (yuk!) - so it had to go. ;-)

You are a gentleman, Mike. Thank you.
And your tutorials have been invaluable. You always make them interesting and fun.
Bets,
Ron

Cheers!
