Hi All....

Here is image for MoI Exercise #4 --> Colander, this image come from previous exercise.
Post your result and we will see the best method to build the 3D model in MoI.



-anis

Here is my first tried, the result is not suitable. I have looking for another approach....

Just a quick start--proving principles.

Brian

AND,other distracting MoI ideas about to add to the "what next"!"

Brian

Now I like that Brian...could be made into a wrought iron balustrade.

As you command!
Brian

Here is result use another method, but still use the similar curves. How about you guys :)

Some of us have bad stories to tell about when we strayed into the kitchen and used plastic tools!
(Well thats my story and I'me sticking to it?)

Brian

Well, here is the final model and the construction curves. This model build use moi v1.

Hi...

and the final render use low glow material...
I wish another moi user can post another method to build these model.

Anis you are too quick for us! Some of us are still working on it. I think it is a great challenge.

Your's is looking good

Hi steeve...

Today I have a free time to create the model. I hope your model will be better ;). Show us your progress so far...

Hi Anis

This approach is a bit more mechanical. I have divided the object up into different parts for modeling. The hardest part I think is the rim which is made up of some complex curves.

Some curves and then loft:









Then a mirror






Will keep you posted

Would this make it as a consumer product?
Anyway, good fun.

Brian

Continuing like this:




Don't look too close...there are gaps :(

But the method does work. I would have to repeat it to get my geometry perfect so there are no gaps.

I don't think it is better than your method Anis. Same result in the end. But your way is quicker.

Hi Steeve...

Your result looking more mechanical, yes I am agree with you :)
Maybe for the gap youc an try use sweep with 1 rail, not use loft.

Good Luck !

This method may have some potential.

I made profile curves fro the bowl edges and swept them round a quartered circle. I don't know if it can be made to produce a copy of the colander but its very quick.

Keith

I'm sticking with loft for now. I've come so far...can't turn back now



Better method is to join the curves before loft:






Then rail revolve using lower curve of rim as rail. Then union.


All good but MoI will not shell:) I think it is becaue the rim curls up in places.

Don't blame me for YOUR wierd problems!
(My wife loves me--I think!)

Brian

Anis you are right...sweep is better, but two rails:
