Wavy facade
-
Hi All --
New here. I'm trying to model a wavy building facade like the one shown below, without much success so far. Can any of you experts give me a suggestion on how to model this sort of geometry? I tried Artisan, but couldn't quite figure out the right sort of proxy to start with or how to manipulate it correctly to get these long wave swells. Are there other plugins I should try? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

First make the whole rectangular 'wavy surface' - using 'Sandbox' tools, or 'Artisan' etc...
Make sure it has a volume by adding a 'flat 'back-face' and 4 sides.
Group it.
Then use a tool like 'Slicer to slice it up into the 'fins'.
Finally rotate everything to the correct alignment in 3D - e.g. if you've used Sandbox and it was 'flat' then it will need setting 'upright'... -
Thanks Tig. Slicer worked brilliantly!
I was having trouble creating the right shapes with Sandbox, but the Artisan Inflate brush and a bit of smoothing worked reasonably well. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing some documentation/tutorials for Artisan in the coming months! -
Seems it would be a little tricky at the corner. How would you do that?
That company does a lot of cool stuff.
