This job can be better achieved in a modeling software and exported (if necessary) in DWG format.

 

Definitely agree with that statement. Autocad is not very good at modeling organic shapes. But if you're looking for a challenge, you picked a pretty good one. :P

How's this for an off the wall idea, find some MRI "Slices" of a head, trace the outline of the bone and loft it. It may not work, but the result would be garaunteed to be interesting :thumbsup:

Myself I looked for a chalange years ago... it was when AutoCAD 2000 ruled the CAD world. I have a friend who is teacher and she brought for me a plastic model of a human heart from the school. I measured it with a calipper and I made the 3D model...

I may have to try this myself. Sounds like an interesting thing to do. Should keep me off the streets for a while. If I get anywhere I'll post the results. Had intended to mow my yard today, but a front moved in last night and it has rained all night, and the forecast is for it to continue. Guess I'll draw skulls instead!

This skull thing is turning out to be quite a challenge. I have the top and front mostly done. Got the eye and nose holes, but having a heck of a time getting the upper jawbone and the base of the skull at the back to look right. Still gotta add the triangular shaped depressions at the temples and work on the cheekbone ridge a bit. Decided to do it in MDT, and am finding that there are blends that it just can't do when it comes to fillets of various widths. Never ran into this problem drawing tooling, but this skull is kickin' it's old butt (and mine!)

Ok...I surrender. This looks more like the Terminator's skull than a human's, but I've run out of patience. This was done with MDT6, if anyone wants to play with it more let me know and I'll send you the drawing file. I can't get it to shell the @#$%@#$ thing no matter what I try.

id go with 3ds max or z brush for that task.

 

wouldnt even dream of trying it in CAD

 

I was trying to stick with simple shapes, thinking that once I got the basic model in place I could go back and refine things like the depression at the temples and the shape of the teeth and such. But it's just not cooperating. I'm gonna leave it alone for a couple days and start over. There's gotta be a way.
