Dang Peter. That was fast.

Accepted! Nice way of doing this, @Peter Neufeld! Thanks for sharing. I wonder what other methods will arise. Did @Jim Wilsonnot have plans to show us his? 🙂

I did... but then my guess was so soundly trounced by the next two contenders I decided to slink back into the shadows and try and make my Summit presentations a little fancier.

I want in!  Here is another approach. By combining nurbs and deform solids.

Hi, i use revolve with rail for these type of shapes.

Dear Alan,

Yes but it makes a series of NURBS surfaces which isn't a solid.

In spite of my movie taking 46 seconds from start to finish doping it for real and making a solid I can do using the SubDiv tool in 23 seconds!

 

Cheers,

Peter

So all you do is convert to a mesh then to a generic solid.

It was just a suggestion that may assist some users.
