Thanks PILOU!

Thank you for the many suggestions.
There is a lot to try now, unfortunately I have no experience with SubD.
It would be nice if you could simply apply SubD based on an existing surface.
Anything else should be difficult.
The Pillow script with loft is great, but has no solution for the round corners.
Michael's approach with sweep 1002.12 is interesting, but not easy.
If necessary, then bring the flat body with flow to the curved shape.....

I will report if there is a better result in sight than my previous one.

Hi Franz,

my humble approach with the free ArtForm Pro 4.0 Software.

P.S. i only merged your surfaces... and did not start with a fresh modeling technique described
by Michael's links.

< free ArtForm Pro 4.0 Software
Have you a link to this ?

Hi Pilou,

i no longer have the link.... But when you look at their Web site
you can check their BBS Forum Link for ArtForm Pro 4.0.

But you have to register at their Forum in order to download the
Software and also register the Software with your Username and
Password.

Thx but seems very complex to register in Chiness ? :)

This is very interesting. There is a translated page that says ArtForm 4.0 was renamed to 3.5. How many developers would reduce/regress their version number?

Thanks Stefan, looks great.

@Pilou It is not so difficult if you open up a second window in your Browser and use Google Translator... :-)

@chrisd I think they did that because their Enterprise version of ArtForm was one version lower
and they simply unified the numbering scheme for both versions.

@Franz Thank you, maybe you can use it.

and the UI is also in Chiness ?

The registration pop-up menu is in chinese, but the software switches to english menus.

Hi Pilou,

here is a screenshot of the NURBS module in ArtForm Pro 4.0.

Hope this helps.

Don't find the Forum for registering! :(
(even with the Translate :)

Hi Pilou,

click on the translated link from Chris... and read carefully the English translation
from the first post. There you will find at the bottom of this post a link to register
and a link to login for the download.

Regards
Stefan

P.S. In case registering does not work with the translated page, due to CAPTCHA's etc.
use in the first Browser window the original Chinese page. As CAPTCHA there come up
two Chinese characters, which you see and which you have to click in the right order.

Once you have access to the forum (the original Chinese page) and downloaded the
software look at the pop-up menu for a line with two input fields, one for your
Username and one for your password. Once the software accepted your input the
software should start then in English.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Stefan

A chiness headache maze! :)

Unfortunately, the Chinese ways are also complicated for me...

Here I am, but cannot start...
Do I need the software JDSoft SurfMill 7.0 for registration?

Hi Franz, excellent! :-) Now you only need to input your Username in the first (white) field and your Forum Password in the second (white) field. After that click the button below the fields and then the software should start in English. SurfMill is not required for registration, it's an additional Software for creating Router Paths for CNC Machines.

P.S. should the Software not start in English i post a screen shot were you must look for the menu switch.

Stefan
