Hi All....

Find attached 3dm for my colander final model.
Create use moi3d v1.

-cheers

Anis
(usingV2 if that made any difference)

Probably a few different working methods--using your file--- than you? (Don't know!)

The main bowl was just created by a revolve of the shape curve.

Brian

And, my mind thought up an alternative for doing the boolean of the holes!

MoI is brilliant! Thanks for making the brain work!

Brian

Hi Brian...

> (usingV2 if that made any difference)
no, i just want to say that moi v1 is capable to build this model.

> The main bowl was just created by a revolve of the shape curve.
yeah, i use the same method

About your alternative way for the boolean, could you describe the steps to pattern the cylinders ?

Thanks

Hi All...

I wish forum member that participate on the moi exercise will be grow up.
Please post your wip or another ideas on this colander exercise. This exercise will be close after oct 31 2008.

Then I need your advice or ideas for the November MoI Exercise.
Just post your image.

The rules is :

1. One image per member
2. Model cant contains more than 10 parts ( base on our experience is previous exercise, too many parts = less participant )
3. Michael G. will choose one of the image for the next exercise by oct 30 2008

I wish all the forumm member agree with this rules.
Too many images and vote will take longer time. So we need this rules.

Many thanks for participate ;)

Regards,

Anis

First I did a Curve Array and then a Circular Array of that result.

Hope the attached is self explanatory.

Brian

very clear brian... ;)

OK I think I give up now.

This is my best so far. Loft using the curves shown.



The surface is clean and looks Ok but no matter what I try, I cannot get shell to work.
So maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree.

For me, just creating a copy, moving it down a fraction, then creating a sweep profile between the two seemed pretty simple--and just as quick?

Brian

Hi Brian

It doesn't work in this case. First off, it would have to be copy|scale|shift. But the problem is the lower part would need to be scaled up and the upper part scaled down!! Tricky.

Steve

No, no scaling involved. Just a simple copy/paste and lowering the copy a fraction was all that was needed.
Very simple.

Brian

Hi All.....

Just reminder, please post your image for November exercise before Oct 30 2008 ;)

Thanks

Apologies Brian you are quite right. The secret is to shift down not up! And what is more, the union of the 3 surfaces happens easily and the edges can even be filleted!!

I may be free of this colander yet!

Hi All....

Below is my image for the November exercise. The exercise / challenge is build the 3D bill.
How about you ? Post it !!! ;)

Come on guys.....

Anis
I sidetracked myself on the Fruit and Veg thread!
This is an interesting exercise I think--I am in Oct 29th--can I start now?

Brian

OK here is my image of the colander. Now that I know how to do it, I should start again to get it pretty. But that is not going to happen.



Simplest method I could find. Create profile curve | revolve | pull points around to shape the rim

Thats great Steve--BUT, why not get it pretty? It all adds to the learning!

Anis
Just a quick Duck Bill attempt---getting the "grin" though?
What fun!
Brian

I agree Brian but...no time!

Anis
Could a shape like this work to boolean the Duck mouth shape?

Brian

Hi Steeve...

For this colander exercise, I think your method is best and fastest :)
Good Job !!!
