A marvellous no-utilitarian object! :D
(What render ? )

KeyShot. It's fast and works every time. :-)

Hi Chipp,
Nice stuff. A quick question. When you modeled and setup these types of component cuts, etc, did you just do a straight cut and fillet the edges to give the "separation" effect? Or did you model some type of tolerance gap there, into the cuts also?

Thanks!

<< KeyShot. It's fast and works every time.

In your case

KeyShot "for direct Nurbs" or for files "OBJ" export ?

Hey BurrMan,

I drew a single polyline, radiused it, then offset it the gapwidth with cap ends turned on. Then I just boolean diff'd it. If I wanted to create a 'trench' gap, I would've boolean merged it, then scaled it down on the z direction (height) then boolean unioned.

HTH,

Hi Frenchy,
I use OBJ just in case I want to add some very tiny edge fillets. The nurbs works fine, but is slower and doesn't allow for rendered edge fillets.

Very nice Chipp, I love that Bulgarov style of tech.

Moi is very strong in that and suprisingly stable, even after long times of calculations, when I'm expecting crash, it do the job :).

Yes, I agree Vojtěch, I'm amazed at how stable and powerful. I created this on a New MacBook, which is very underpowered. Took an hour of dinking around..

We remark the reuse of the radiuses Tuto fillets form ! ;)
