MJL Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I started this a year ago as an exercise in splinemanship. Had a few minutes last night and have missed playing with A:M so I finished it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Top-notch splineing, I must say! That would look good on a T-Shirt... for it's 'innuendo'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixelplucker Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Very nice modeling. I find myself importing more poly props because I don't get enough time for the projects to spline them within AM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsjustme Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The only critique I have is that the four square corners aren't beveled...that would make it perfect. Very cool, Myron! ------------------ EDIT ------------------ Here's sort of an illustration of the splines that would need to be continued to bevel the corners (sorry it's a little sloppy). Then a very slight rounding on the corners would finish it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJL Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Good eye, David. actually when I started it, the front edge of the square wasn't beveled either. To get those corners beveled, (and I wanted to) would have taken me back to the beginning of the project, so I just beveled the front edge before I did a CFA. As it was just an exercise I decided to let it go. The main point of the exercise was getting a round hole integrated into a square mesh, all connected. Learning how to bend splines and control points to my will. EDIT: Ok, Ok... after looking at it again, I realized that the splinage was already in place, and it just needed some persuasion. Man, I love the elegance of this software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bigboote Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Good fix...since this is an excercise... how about bevelling the one last chamfer that needs to be smoothed...? (aint I a pain in the arse?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
