Smeg gas hob
-
Seems to me the supports for the pots and pans are a bit precarious. How is it in real use?

Smeghead!

Thanks for the model !

Really nice modeling
, although I must agree with Tim that it would be too easy for a pot or pan to spill if it gets off-center too much. Also it seems like it would not be very energy efficient with the burners raised like that. If they were submerged in wells the heat would be much more concentrated on the cooking utensil, plus if the supports were flush with the surface the stove top area would be much more useful.
Just nitpicking (that's what I do)

Thank you Marian for your helpful contribution!
As for the comments on the supports, I didn't design this, smeg did. I just built the model from photos off the internet. I guess that the four posts are sufficient. I did try to model the gas flames, but that was beyond my skill level.
Cheers

You're very welcome. I love being helpful, it feels wonderful.

Master chief cooking !

@CrazyEyes:
Just for the record, I think your model and render are excellent. -
Some flames. They're probably a bit highpoly to be of use, but I just wanted to experiment.
-
Nice 'flame' model Marian, did you model three flames for the component or just one and scaled it to fit inside each other?
-
I initially just modeled a rounded cone, then copied it 2 times and scaled them to fit inside the first one. I then made them all a group and used the Radial bending tool from the Fredo Scale plug-in http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=17948&hilit=free+scale to bend the whole thing up. I then just copied them.

Nice flames, Marian!
(I got it down to 150kb if that makes it more useable)

Cool, any little big helps. Some people might have a lot of cookers to lit up and the number of the flames pile up fast.
Lyall I turned on the cooker for you. You can now make me a nice stew or something.

Looks real good Marian, but I've tried rendering the flame with Twilight, and it's a no-go. I would need some sort of diffusion template to achieve it, but alas, there is no such thing.
-
Yeah, rendering the flames to look as real as possible is a whole 'nother can of worms unforunately.
