Thanks for the estimates, im more basing it off the reference from the pdf the left is just more narrow and tighter then the right. Trying to accurately accomplish is the tricky part, Warren did a good job but a little off
Oh and this is how my model is looking right now. There are some scale issues as well as some parts of the mesh that could have been done better, but hey. I will fix the scale once I finish the top part that's currently missing.
Hey Guys, I've just created a Skype Group for the Hard surface challenge. If you'd like to discuss challenges in real time, Or chat about how to move the thread in the right direction, Please PM me with your skype contact info.
Well look at that! I think the bolts on the bottom are pretty much the same as the ones we did on week 1? So that's about 5% of the work done right there! :P Anyway, that's one hell of a shape. I'm still deciding on whether or not making the inside...
Right In just before new "week" :p . I might try and catch up on last week tonight. I followed the .pdf (thanks AlexRodriguez ) but its the first time I've seen a technical doc so diffrent to the end product, oh well.
Right finaly made time to finish week 6 @Jura: Wow man at 1 edge length that must have taken some time to render ^^ .Also I love the way you've made the bandages; it might lack a bit of control over the result but it will fit any shape, brilliant.
Couldn't sleep so I took a shot at the advanced one. I think the edges are a bit too sharp right now, but I'm going to leave it for now and try going to sleep >_> wire @Mik2121: Even though it doesn't exactly match the reference, I like what you did with the bottom part :)
Wow hectic shape, good choice Reverse image search shows its a cast iron sediment strainer. Strainer Data Sheet I figured it was a simple S bend at the beginning but check it out. The outlet on the left flattens out making a bulb shape at the intersection. The inlet on the right is like a 90 degree elbow that tapers into…
I assume the next challenge is on the 18th, right? I can't wait to start the new one! Hopefully it has 3 ranks like you said and the overall result is a more complex piece so I can spend some more time doing it. It's a great way to practice and it only takes a bit of time here and there :)
Updated my post. Ahh I see, so you can actually just lead the supporting edges away from the main edge then shift their vertices into the correct position. Sweet, as far as defining the edges main edges that need to be defined, do I have that right? (starting with a proper circle and forming the hex afterwards seems easier…
