the pang Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Okay here's a challenge. My designer has drawn these ribbons I need to draw in 3D. They are long 8' to 12' They twist and undulate. I've tried to sweep a form but it works on one axis only these move to the side and also sweep. I've been trying the multiple extrude but I don't have alot of experience with it. I tried a stack of sticks each one angled slightly and growing a little, it ended up like a cylinder of angled boards. The depth of the ribbon is about 1" (we will bend aluminum pipe, weld it together and stretch fabric) Maybe I could extrude a pipe along a path, join them together and put a skin on it. This has me going in circles and feeling very confused. Help! Quote Link to comment
Davide Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Hi there, I'm not very sure of what is the final shape needed; in VW the only way to do that is exactly what you are trying, extrude along a path and combine pieces. If you want, you could e-mail me more details or the vw file and I'll see what I can do during the week end, I like 3D challenges. moxda@earthlink.net Quote Link to comment
