Modelling a bubble lamp
-
Hi all,
I'm trying to model a bubble lamp like this lamp
http://www.ylighting.com/product-zoom-plus.html?http://us.st12.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/ylighting_2013_268248000&pageid=bub-ballI have already created the "aluminium structure" but I'm having problems modelling the "paper" between.
I've already tried the soapskin plugin but that didn't do it. Anyone knows how to model this in 2 directions curved surface ?Thanks for the help

sorry to say it, but what didnt work about soap skin bubble? i thhnk your going to have a hard time doing it any other way.
-
well, I tried with soap skin bubble and this was the result
(I used soap skin bubble with good results before but now it seems to put the normal plane in the wrong direction)
Any idea how to fix it ?
thanks

ah awesome ! Could you explain a little more in depth how you created the surface ?
thanks

Nice tut ely
a lot simpler than soap skin 
-
aha , thanks for the help ! I guess the offset on contour is a plugin right ? Cause the sketchup offset doesn't do the trick. (is line on surface a plugin to or just a line drawn on the surface ?)
thanks !
getting there now
