screwdriver.

[jester[AUT]]

HI!

 

This is the second time I work with rhino,so I need some tips to do this.

 

I have to model my screwdriver in 3d and I don't know with what I should begin.

 

my task is to take photos of my screwdriver and add them in the front, top, and right view. Then I change the picture size to the original size of the screwdriver...

I did that, but if I have the shade mode on I don't see the content of the picture and if I have the rendering view on I don't see the lines.

 

I dont know how to do the grip. It is round and has corner... maybe curves?

 

greeds,

jester

Thanks, but it is not really what I need. I need to now how to make the surface that it gets its special shape.

thanks for the link

I only see either the green line (shademode) or the picture (rendermode). What shall I do to see both???

Draw the stripes as 2d profiles and project them onto the handle.

I need to do a smooth transition from one object to another. I ve parted my grip into two parts.

 

here is an image to illustrate it

 

 

 

@ dedmin. thank you, dude. and thank you for your efforts to create an example.

Use blend surfaces and play with the settings

blend [x]checked

 

 

the last step to model this work:

 

I would like to do the indentation of the red part in the image. it is a surface. every time I try to change it, it ends to a disaster. maybe i use the wrong tools.

how can I extrude them. If I try that, only the margins go up.

Surface - Patch then Offset Surface with Solid=Yes

Try offset surface

I ve made a rod and after that: "arraypolar"

finally i used fillet edge.

 

it doesnt look as well as on the picture, but it's ok.

 

 

I am still working on the stripes... I m attempting to make a patch surface...

the result, after maya rendering:

Keep it up - it is just the beginning!

by the way: i ve also controlled my edges with the analys tool, so I can see which one is alone. Consequently, you can avoid terrible rendering results...
