.aerosol can.

[Gaieus]

Yeah, I know that. Once I made a 90 something segment arc to be a guide for a radial array of bricks in an arch. It was a pain...

Nice can though!

[CADken]

OooOOOOoooooOOOO!

nice!

[ilay7k]

It's nice!
And i try to model it

ilay7k,
that spray nozzle looks kind of small on there.

[ilay7k]

Thanks!
It's just speed-modelling(2-3 min.)
I will re-work it

[cheffey]

you could probably just scale it.
back to the original thread...
Jason, how are you guys going to hot-link this thing?

[marked001]

haha..i wish i coudl go that fast..but it needs to be reasonably accurate..so i'm sitting here measuring a damn can..haha.. just went out and bought the specific can that it is, and started over.. unfortunately, follow me is not cooperating..and when i extrude it around the circle..some planes and arcs get left out.. i've tried it a million different ways and have redrawn it..but still the same thing.. i think i'm going to steal the top piece off my original can though..b/c this is frustrating.. the missing areas arent too evident here, but i think they ultimately will be here is the progress so far...there are a TON of little pieces on a damn spray can that i have to call out..i had no idea.

as far as hotlinking.. haha.i dont know.. either html or flash.. and just make a bunch of buttons over the image? that's my plan anyway..

[Krisidious]

great stuff Mark, very life like...

ilay7k , your dome is a little high and I agree your nozel is a little small, but fine work none the less... I also liked your rendering nice material...

Mark, I really like that new lid or top... looks like RAID!

keep it up kids...

[cheffey]

ok, i got you then.
it looks very good though, especially with the can top.

[cheffey]

i guess i'm with you Jason, except i probably take a bit longer to model things than you. i get bogged down with the dimensions so much sometimes... 2-3 minutes to model that is very fast to me. i wish i had that efficiency.

[marked001]

yeah.. 2-3 minutes is definitely impressive.. 5 minutes and it would've been great!

glad someone else is on the slow side though, steven..haha.

[cheffey]

Hey, i know... it's like if i could only get out of my own way i could model faster.
i'll fumble around with 64ths of an inch.
that's crazy isn't it...
probably shouldn't have said that.

[smartsizer]

try scaling your entire model up by a factor of 100. That might fix your follow-me problems.

[marked001]

ah ok.. that does make sense.. the original one i did was scaled up 10x just to make drawing the curves easier...this one was only 2x.. i will give that a try! thanks!

[marked001]

taht worked great smartsizer..thanks so much.

here's a little update..

[todd burch]

Loosk great! My only comment is the bottom stem of the spray tip is too narrow in diameter.

This looks great! I like the section cuts.

Got a close up of how the pressure valve works? I've always wondered... I figured the refrigerator light thing out a few years back - but the aerosol tip pushing down thing I still haven't worked out. Wink

Any now for the trivia question - and don't search the internet for the answer.

"RAID" used a particular artist for a particular reason when they commisioned their bugs in the TV commercials. Who was the artist, and what was characteristic about his/her style?

[cheffey]

that aerosol can is pimp... are we allowed to use that as an adjective?
anyways it's marvelous.

got nothing on the trivia question...

there's my reference..not that i followed it too carefully..haha..

and i have no answer for the trivia question..haha..

[cheffey]

I can't believe i just read that on how the aerosol valve works... Laughing

[marked001]

now you can pull one apart.. get your calipers out..and go to town..haha..

(and for the record, i didnt actually read it..just looked at the diagram......briefly Very Happy )
