To start I drew my design out on some tracing paper. Then I made a layered version of the design and cut it out so that I could visualize how the final result would come together. After I had a design I started making my design in rhino 8, improving areas that were lackluster in my laser cutter test. I started by making a series of 4 squares so that I would have a reference point for the exact center later and a way of creating the outer circle with the exact dimensions that I wanted. I also offset this outer circle so that I would have the basis for my inner design to work off of. Now that I had the main circle, I drew in the petals using a picture reference -not shown in my screen capture. I then trimmed the lines on the petals in order to keep the design clean as I worked Then, in order to create an interesting detailed outer circle, I lined the outer circle with little circles using the rotate command. I then trimmed away the parts of the little circles and petal lines t...
Kettle Modelling Step 1: Base Image To start I took a screen grab of the the object that was being modelled in the tutorial and got it to the proper scale. Step 2: Basic shape I then drew out half of the basic shape, ignoring curves for the time being. Step 3: Fillet main body curves and revolve tool After I had the basic shape of the main body I filleted the corners to make them match the profile of the image and used the rotate command to create the main body of the kettle. Step 4: Spout general shape I then drew out the basic shape of the spout, roughly in the center of the spout in the base image. Step 5: Spout fillet I then filleted corners in the spout line so that it more closely matched the base image. Step 6: Pipe tool I then used the pipe command to turn the line into a 3d object with the correct diameter. Step 7: Trimmed spout I then got rid of the excess material from the spout. Step 8: Lid handle basic shape Drew out half of the basic shape of the the lid's handle. I ...
