sometimes....no, most of the time, I just want to kiss you.

However, I stop myself as that would be weird and my wife would look at me funny.

Thanks for the tutorial, and all the others that you make!

mjs

An another cool one to translate! :)

LMAO!!! :-D

Thanks MJS!

Wow a really cool tutorial. (again)

Peace,
Rich_Art. ;-)

Another great tutorial Mike!

Here's a quick render I made of your model in KeyShot using a soft plastic material.

Ed

A very impressive tutorial Mike, easy to follow and the end result looks spectacular.

I really like the way you use blend to get all those surfaces nicely flowing together.

I do hope more surface tangency tools get integrated into Moi before V3 is complete to make this kind of work a bit easier.

Hi Mike, wow this is a really awesome advanced modeling tutorial, you're making such great use of all the available tools - flow, blend, lineweb !! The final result is really nice.

- Michael

Pilou, je suis reconnaissant!


Thanks Rich!


Ed, Keyshot never ceases to amaze me on it's speed and versatility. Looks nice!



Thanks Kevin! Of course, N-Sided Patch Blends and Surface Matching tools are on the top of my wish list! ;-) ...to dream...



Thanks Michael!

>flow, blend, lineweb !!

Looking at that stunt I pulled above (LineWeb to Projection to Loft to Flow), I'm beginning to fear I just might eventually unlock some kind of awful power hidden in the MoI NURBS library! ;-)

Impressive tutorial and skills! Thanks a lot for this. I have a strong urge to follow this tutorial to break away from my current exclusive use of booleans in the construction process.

French Translation Done! ;)

Mike-KING OF BLEND-
i think you're using a different version of MOI that is not available here: MOI V3 UNBIASED EDITION
(your blue plastic is gorgeous ! )


thanks for sharing tips and models,here a quickie in Arion

Thanks Martin! MoI is versatile!



Merci très beaucoup Pilou! J'actualiserai mon site bientôt. :-)



Thanks M! I love the transparent cap and purple bottle!

Ah... I just realized that on the bottles with the "spill-proof" spout, the cap threads are supposed to be in the inside so that the excess liquid can go back into the bottle.
...engineering... ;-)

MoI's lighting options place it in its own class, not many modelers allow for such an aesthetic workflow.
BTW, if you visit my lighting tutorial: http://moi3d.com/forum/messages.php?webtag=MOI&msg=5222.1
You can cut and past the lighting options scripts into the keyboard shortcuts, and switch around the lighting modes for fun while you are modeling.

Great job there Mike!

So another render, this one done in Octane.


Martin (2).

EDIT:

Uploaded a second attempt with scaled (smaller) tiling and some changes to lighting etc.
Also, original pic replaced with a smaller version .

(drooling :-p... )

That is nice, Martin! A Pinesol-type floor cleaner.

The clear material gives it the real feel of liquid-filled heft.


:-)

Nice composition Mike. Now you have a whole product line of cleaners!

What's next in your tutorial pipeline? I get a feeling you go to the dollar store to get inspired :)

Ed

> What's next in your tutorial pipeline? I get a feeling you go to the dollar store to get inspired :)

Oh no Ed... You got me! ;-)

Now you'll have to guess which store it was in particular: the Dollar General or the Family Dollar?
Some guys get to model jewelry and fine Italian autos... I model janitorial supplies. LOL!


The thought actually crossed my mind at one time. For some reason there is a high variety of cheap plastic consumer goods in those stores. Good study.


Now that you got me all self-conscious, I'll have to aim high $ with the next tut. ;-)

I think there's as much esthetic quality in some throw-away plastic bottles as there is in an Italian sports car.

As far as modeling and tutorials go, I'd rather see a PC mouse done very well rather than a car done poorly.

So keep up the good work and we'll see what interesting subjects you find next.

Ed

wonderful composition Mike..i envy you !

Ed<< I think there's as much esthetic quality in some throw-away plastic bottles as there is in an Italian sports car.>>

totally agree with you..but it also depends which car(i'm not talking about dream cars)
....comin' soon...(gimme one more month)...

> wonderful composition Mike...

Composition and layout is me day job. :-)



...I do love the dream cars...

That is a great looking bottle.

I added a label and rendered in TurboCAD.
