Help making this 3d ornament
-
Hi Tig. I tried your loft by rails, but I got a convoluted compound face that doubled back on itself. I also used edges by rails, but got much the same as you did. I then used TGI3d create mesh and got what you see in the file. It seems to work fairly well, but I don't know how to round over the edges and the inside curved surface doesn't have quite the volume I need. I couldn't get soap skin and bubble to work on it either. I also used the joint push pull plugin, but as you can see, it only gave me one extruded face.

Here's a version of your form split to make a profile and two rails and EEbyRails, Copy and EEbyVector to for edge-faces...

Would something like these be close to the right idea?

hhhmmmmmmmmmmmm
not quite. but my head hurts thinking about it
-
Aaaaaahhhhhh......

Thanks everybody for your suggestions. Tig, I tried your method and it works great. Is it possible to make rounded edges? Also, I tried to run the profile edge off the second rail, but it broke in two. I separated it and made it a curve and it worked great. Except for the round edges the results look perfect. Thanks again!

Did you look at this?
Although it isn't exactly the same, I think you could make the rounded edge in the same way I made the narrower parts of the finial.
-
I'm seeing a completely different shape than the rest?
-
That is funny because the shape I see in my mind is different than any of the examples.
-
To me it looks like leaf with two different larger bends and the edge curled over. I was only suggesting the finals I drew as an illustration of the way to get the main part and the curl on the edge. Maybe it's too hard for others to see the connection between what I did and the leaf. Should I remove it?
-
Thanks Dave. I hadn't seen that video. I have other ornaments to make and I think I can use those same principles.
-
Hmmm, with only one refernce image it's hard to understand the actual shape.
This is what I think...

But yeah, the thing is shaped like the skp/picture I posted.
