Hallo together,

I have to make a small project for a shop with articles fot bathroom. It is for advertisment. So I want to bring together two rubberducks and a lettering.

As I once had a demo of Rhino V3 on my computer I can remember, that there was a tutorial how to make such a duck.

Is it also possible to make such a duck with Moi. I don´t have any idea how to start.

Rudl

Hi Rudl, yes it should be possible to follow along that same rubber duck Rhino tutorial using MoI.

If you want to read the tutorial, install the Rhino v4 demo and then go to the help file, in the help file index it is under "Getting Started" > "Create organic shapes".

The way the tutorial is set up, you draw 2 spheres (1 for the body and 1 for the head), and then turn on control points and squish them around.

You can skip the "Rebuild surface" step because MoI automatically makes spheres to be smoothly squishable.

So in MoI, draw the 2 spheres, then use Edit / Show pts to turn on the control points for the sphere and then manipulate the points.


There is also a MoI tutorial video that lyes made about using that kind of surface deforming technique available here:

> I don´t have any idea how to start.

Just follow along the tutorial - it starts by drawing 2 spheres.

He said "rubber ducks"....Huh huhu huhuhhuhuh.



2 sphere's and a profile rail revolve for feet.

Thank You BurrMan for the Duck.

It is not the one I want, but I can see, how to make it.

How did you make the neck.

Rudl

Hi Rudi,
The neck/head was a little sphere above the lower sphere. I stretched some of the lower points down to make a long protrusion and then moved that into the lower body and booleaned them together, then ran a filet on the edge.

once you start pulling points on 2 spheres, it should be apparent for you how to get the shape you want. Remember when you go to do your booleans to stick things "completely through" each other, then you can make that intersection smooth with a filet (Same as with the legs attaching to the body..)

What kind of rubber duck were you looking for? the 3 stooges classic gag one?

good luck.

I was hoping to see Daffy duck in this topic...
Huhuhu

*cries*

(nice duck Burrman)

Hello:

You can found the tutorial Michael is talking about (I think that it´s the same), in http://www.rhino3d.tv

You must be registered., but it´s easy and you´ll get a code inmediately for start.

Hi DuesDues,
Daffy couldnt make it to the topic. We had him over for dinner, drinks and pasta!
