PlayTime_02: Gothic Panel

[simon le bon]

Hi awesome everybody. Samedi 09 Août 2008
i'm late for the first day!!
Hum!, some fights with making a video, video tools, video encoder, host services...

So, Here is the very first step in reward geometry before to go in the drawing itself. I must say that this work is made very easy into SketchUp tools.
Hope this will be fun and interesting for someone.. :-)simon

(making video capture during drawing is not so easy. Time is strongly limited so, need to be fast and accurate: suspens.

So here is only step number two for finding (and reproduce) geometry.

And here is the "Cat Eyes" carving.

.StepA

..StepB

..StepC

..StepD

and the SKP: CP_CatEye.skpDataFileHost
CP_CatEye.skpDivShare

-(You must not take account of the dimensions of this drawing. It refers to the dimensions of my previous designed side panels, made itself with arbitrary dimensions.)

And here is the "Round Flower" carving

Videos: StepA

and the SKP: CP_RoundFlower_SCF.skp DivShare _ _ DataFileHost

And Here is the Basic Grid Component

Videos: Step1

.....Step2

And of course the SKP ..CP_GridComponent_SCF.skp

Oups! i've made a mistake, certainly due to video rush record !!

, and Closer

So Here is the rectified SKP: CP_GridComponent_SCF_rectif.skp

And now the Square Flower.

This time, i havn't made any video, but just a bunch of *.skp . The reason for this is that there is no new technic to explain in this achievement. (But if something is not clear enough to you, let me know and i shall make a partial video enlightment.)

I have deliberately drawn a complex flower with not a single mirrored petal, but with four petals imitated from one of the original flowers.

SKP: StepA

, StepB

, StepC

, StepD

And a small Video just for the pleasure of assembling the parts:




I'd like add a really cool and(relatively) new script to my previous list and introduce:
[Plugin] Round Edge - v1.0 (by Bezier) by Fredo6

:-)simon

[simon le bon]

Hum! I've realised my SKPs do not explain as well as i wished. So i have changed my mind.

So here is three partial video steps in order to make the
- - SquareFlower - -.

Drawing a Petal(Sorry Didier and Fredo to have reversed your plugins, BezierSpline are not from Projection tools pack but from BezierSpline tools pack from Fredo6 with credits to Carlos António dos Santos Falé for the Cubic Bezier algorithm )

and at the end we reach the end !!

I have forgotten to mention the utility of Bool tools which can incredibly help for the so hard cleaning work.

->SketchUp 8 (pro) have its own,

->Oscarlok _ [Plugin] Boolean--OSCoolean (Oct 2010) for SU 8 free version (Free)

->Whaat _ Bool Tools ($)

And mainly I just have discovered this new tutorial from the same Dave R which is greatly going to help the job:
SCF_Hayrake Dining Table

FineWoodWorking.com_ Stopped Curved Chamfers

Hi Mufasa,

I think all the video links are now fixed!!. At a time I had missed, Photobucket had changed all the .flv videos by .mp4 videos so, due to this only change all the links was dead..

Else:
Please be gentle with this work I had made as I was very inexperienced. (and the videos duration; oh my!)
So I think lot of things can be made more simply.

Please also note that plenty of new tools now exist we hadn't at this time.
Particularly two incredible sets of tools to skin pretty everything:
Tig _ ExtrudeTools - Zipped Set 20101102
Fredo _ Curviloft 1.1a - 12 Jan 11 (Loft & Skinning)
They should simplify extraordinary the process.

and Else:
It seems that "More Complex Geometry in SketchUp" tutorial by Dave Richard
which had initiated my work, is not available anymore.
Here is a link of all his splendid tuts he had made for "FineWoodWorking.com"

Cheers,
simon.

Looking for something else I have found this:

A history of ornament.
Published 1916 by Century Co. in New York .

Simon.
This was one of my all time favorite threads.
Please continue to give it new life.
Plus the History of Ornament is a great find
Good to see you back.
Cheers

Hi Simon, have been working on Sketchup for a couple of years on my own but skills are definitely lacking! Love your Gothic panel skp drawing but do you have any tutorial as to how the flower was created; which plugins etc? Your geometry is a piece of art and much admired!! SDHatter
