Hi together,

I want to construct the Dune Table by Zaha Hadid. http://insitehk.files.wordpress.com/2011/11/dune-table-zaha-hadid.jpg

Could someone give me a hint how to make it.

Hi Rudl, often times things that are sort of melty blobby looking with protrusions are better done in a polygon modeler using subdivision surfaces rather than in a NURBS modeler like MoI. Those kind of modelers are more focused on organic forms, the modeling method that MoI uses is based on drawing profile curves and works better when the form is more defined by a distinct profile rather than all melted together like that.

So a different modeling program may yield a better result for that kind of thing for you.

If you did want to do it in MoI, I guess it may be good to work on the 3 legs separately, you'd probably draw a bunch of planar sections and use Construct > Loft with the Loft type = "Loose" option to build the legs, then see about connecting them to the top using Blend.

Thank you Michael,

I thought it by myself, that it should be difficult do it with MOI.

The result must not be the same, as shown in the picture. I want to do a similar table for myself.

Google comes up with about 12 distinct pictures. There are some shadows.
Without detailed dimensions, a copy seems to be unlikely?
At best, a solid resembling the table might be possible.

Stay tuned, Rudi. I'm willing to bet that someone here is already trying; and that MoI will be up to the challenge. :-)

Thank you Ronamodeler for you assistance,

but meanwhile I´ve started to model it with Blender. After some years without Blender the beginning was hard, but gradually the skills come back.
