      charly2008,

      How do you get your various shapes to be orientred perpendicular to your serpentine paths?

        Hi Troy,

        i used perpendicular faces along a perpendicular edge and scaled each individual face.

            To clarify, Perpendicular faces is a plugin. Check it out here:

            http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17396

            It is useful for things like this.

                Amazing stuff. I have a laughable question. Can you please tell me where I find the sub division options you have used at the start of your tutorial? I can`t seem to find it!

                  Hi Guy,

                  the subdivision is done automatically By Curviloft. The bending of the objects is done by orthogonal junction by Bezier curves. See Image below.

                    Hi,

                    With simple geometric shapes can be created the most amazing ornaments. If, for example, useful for stucco.

                      Hi,

                      Robert111 was asking for a Tutorial for this crown Object shown in the image below. The original model i deleted some weeks ago.

                      Draw some curves. Place some faces with the perpendicular faces plugin. scale each face as you want.

                      Connect all Faces with Curviloft and make it group. Copy and flip the copy and put it together and group it again and copy the new goup. The new group may now scaled if you want more thickness for example.

                      Rotate or flip the group to the z-direction and place it at a circle. Than make Rotate copy, that's all.

                      I have also made the edge with perpendicular faces and Curviloft.

                      Charly

                              It's a pity
                              we can use component for Curviloft ☀
                              but alas Edit component don't make tranformations on the result 😮
                              Or I miss something 😉

                                Pilou,

                                I understood it still not likely. The Curviloft object is a new group. The two components remain as components. The Curviloft object you can edit and change. Or you explode all objects and then you can change the result as you want.

                                  That is the problem 😄
                                  Imagine : you have your gem
                                  Just edit the component (face) and you will have an infinities of variation without pain 😉
                                  But alas that is not possible 😞

                                  Here example with Component Stringer
                                  I modify just the component and all is modified

                                        This is a great thread, but is anyone else experiencing problems with pages loading, supposedly because of the sheer amount of image files having to load? I'm finding this thread pretty slow to view. 😞
