How To Model These Shapes?

David Wakelin

Hi guys,

been using maya for a long time, but never had to really model any shapes/pipes that are quite intricate. I know Max has this really nice function to rotate certain degrees etc; but maya seems to be quite lacking; if i extrude a cylinder then rotate - i have no idea what angle I'm using etc;

Anyway,

Which is the best way to tackle these shapes for my current Church project?






Greatly appreciated

In 3ds max, I would use splines to model them out.

So use whatever maya has that can do that.

Combination of lofting, useing the mopRenderableCurve script , and extrudeing curve profiles along other curves.
