ed, good cap)))!! Like to see method in action)))


No problem Mike, glad that you like it))!! Hope you will make some more variation of this method in your tutorials)) Your tutorials are great I learn a lot of stuff from them)!

Thanx to M-Dynamics that told me about "Loft to point" in Rhino. Now I understand clear what I made. The Loft part of this method is not new, everything was made before in rhino and on more advanced level with "loft to point". I just intuitively changed points to curves, because Moi now do not support loft to point.
But still hope that this tutorial will bring more enthusiasm to people that made organic stuff, and break a bit stereotype that MOI is not good to make organic forms.

-Loft to point- is an easy way to close a loft avoiding to put a "micro-profile" to the end of the loft chain,like you did in your workflow
Often,during these years,i needed a function like that but i know that Michael is only one, so i avoid to ask new stuff to implement..
What you call organic,Andrei,i call free-form:this means modeling without following accurate dimensions,standard rules, etc..
But here there are also engineers,architects,Cnc users,3D printers that use Moi everyday...Michael is one and he can't satisfy all them
I'd like to have Moi+T-Splines
You'd like to have your own version for organic shaping
Engineers and architects want to have Moi+dimensions and printing sheets system
Graphics want to have Moi+ a whole set of tools for vectorial drawing and many export options
It reminds me older versions of Cinema 4 D:do you remember its modules? Maxon can do this because has a staff of programmers !
It's logical that Michael often says:please consider a sub-d modeler to do this,or Viacad to do that..etc...
Nobody want to leave Moi's paradise(ZEN-UI..best snap of the world and so..)
All of us would like to have our favourite tools inside our favourite modeler...
as The Stones sing :"You can't always get what you want.." :) :)

Agree !!!

Hi, Ed.
I'm just starting to learn KeyShot. Can you tell me about the background in your cap render?
Any good tutorials you have found would also be appreciated.
Best,
Ron

Andrei,
Thank you very much for these great videos. I hope to learn a lot from them!
Best,
Ron

No problem Ron, you are welcome)

"... Can you tell me about the background in your bottle cap render?"

Ron,

My background is a jpg KeyShot back plate made in Photoshop. It's just some diagonal lines on one PS layer, and some color splotches made with a paintbrush on another layer. Play with the opacity and blur settings and save out as a jpg.
