Some surfaces behaviour makes me confused

Looks great Jacek, good to see your still pushing your skills. I need some of your enthusiasm and patience

thx Skint

seems You are my most devoted "Some surfaces behaviour.." trip member.

It is hard to push "Yourself" forward still. I mean it is very exhausting

.

Anyway, I am very glad some one like I do, have fun watching this thread

how about Your last surface training and "use" of skillYou obtained from it?

Looks good, any renderings coming our way??

No, I did not consider any renderings from start of this challange. Too much time consuming + I am not good at it(I know `cause I tried last year).

Making renderings require twice as effort as I spent to put attention on details - air cuts, buttons, remarks, etc.

I am not so patience...

Yeah i enjoy reading through this thread

The course I attended was OK. Not as informative as I had hoped, but it didpush me to play with surfaces a little and for sure I know a lot more now than I did then, unfortunaly from my own experimenting rather than the course I feel

I picked a particularly difficult item to try and replicate, one of my Snowboard Bindings ( google Rome 390 ). Very complex and difficult part. But I learned a lot from it.


If I get chance, I will try and throw some screenshots at you later

Jacek, download a copy of hypershot, get a trial one for 30days and have a blast at it. Nice renders in very little time and very easy to use. Donkey proof even!!

sounds like I should give a try...

I like those moments when I start with first sketches, comming to first demanded case, solving it with a pain and galons of sweat... and then finding better and much suitable solution after few days. This way - never ending with a much "energy" to spend on renderings. Too much exhausted...

Skint

I noticed there a few tricks surfacing requires, that handles a lot of cases - 3nd and 5nd boundries, tangency and sharp transtition.

Rest is the feel of "shape". How it goes, how the patches are built. This consumes much effort I spend on surfacing.

I checked it. Indeed challenging stuff. Can`t wait for Your pics

Skint, is that some of your handy work then with rendering on the Fab&Fix website??


Some of it mate yeah, took a while to get the that standard though. A lot of it is actual photography though.


Ive decided to give hypershot another trial run,I feel a New Laptop request is going into the MD today :)
 
Skint

I`ve seen those pics too - looks real, that is I suppose best rating as for renderings

Before I dived in to pendulum jig saw model I made few attempts to model one of Bosch cordless drill/driver as seen on pic below(I do not know why but recently my private attention has been focused mainly on such devices)
smiley36.gif
I decided to put it here and find out how would others goes about it
smiley17.gif




it looks relatively easy but....there are two different profile at fornt and in the rear side of this device. I prepared two approaches, third one is considered. I am curious how would You bite this thema.

1)Simple VSS(circle) + side surfaces made by BB





2) 2xVSS + BB for side surf





3)(in consideration) simple blend/swept blend between front profile(arc+line) and rear one(arc of circle)

What do You think?
 
good - during that time I`ll make You a coffee, I miss company to drink with the one I have now. There is still one ginger cake with chocolate left in my drawer, but it won`t wait long...

btw - if anyone send good suggestion first ginger cake will come to him! Now, I set up motivation stimulus, waiting for reaction...

Hey Jacek, no time to play around with this today, unfortunatly theres work to do... can you believe it .. on a friday !! lol


Anyway, excuse the terrible image but I thought I would post you the WIP stage i have got to. The chrome frame piece was the real learning curve for me, aswell as the base. There are a lot of details hidden on this part which maybe next week, if I get some time, ill post a few more pro-e pics. This piece is as accurate as can be with a set of verniers

but I ran out of time to continue modelling it, because I had to re-assemble it and attach it back to my board

Skint,
