How to create an hour glass shape.
-
Hello all,
I am relatively new to the program and am trying to create a stool. I would like the stool to be similar to an hour glass (fatter at the top and bottom, skinnier in the center). I don't really know where to start. I've tried creating a circle and using the follow me tool over an arc, with little success. Thank you for your time. -
Sub-divide and smooth and FFD will be a great solution.

Solo,
Thank you for trying to help, but I have to be honest. I have no idea what you just said. -
Create the shape with (rectangular faces)
Sub-divide and smooth (ruby)
Then using FFD (ruby) you define the shape. -
Solo,
Ok I get it now. Thank you very much. -

If you don't have SubSmoove--follow me is great too. Draw the profile you want and FollowMe around the circle.
This took about 5 mins. Good Luck.

Thank you all. the stool turned out quite nice, but i had one more question. If i was trying to create the Kartell Gem Stool, is there a knurl tool or something to that effect that would triangulate the surface to have the realistic qualities of the stool. Thanks again I appreciate you taking the time to help.

Dear Chango70,
No, that is not my model. It is an image I got of the web. I posted it so others could see what was required. It looks tricky to model.
