Hi Michael...

>> It looks like you have some end tangents of the curves not aligned to each other
a ha..., I am not aware about that...

I dont want use freeform technique that Iyes show on his tutorial.
I will stay to use curve strategy.

Regarding Network, is it possible to move the seam edge, because it will interfere when I use Blend like Iyes tutorial ?

Seems videos Lyes Helmet are not yet working ? :(

Hi Anis,

Just be aware that there are some potential difficulties with the strategy you have chosen then...


> Regarding Network, is it possible to move the seam edge,

It will end up reflecting the seams in the closed curves that are used as inputs into the network.

Try rotating the circle by 90 degrees around its own center point, that should then put the seam in a better place for you.

Hi Michael...

Yes, I am aware. But it give me challenge and push me to find best idea and best construction geometry.
Curve strategy is more "mechanical way" for me and more accurate.

>>Try rotating the circle by 90 degrees
Yes it work...

Thanks

Michael,

"One key thing is probably to not worry about the face cutout area at first, instead focus first on making a full dome shape and then trim or boolean out the face area rather than trying to incorporate that outline into the initial surfacing."

In this kind of model that's again so very true, haha, before you said this and I looked at the helmet I was already thinking "pffff, ok so i would lay a patch there, and there and then intersect and trim..."
I'm using Solidworks today but come from a poly background, and let me tell you, it never truly goes away! ;)
