[Tutorial > Modeling] How To Create A Potato Chip
-
Hello,
I'm not certain this is the most efficient method of creating this type of geometry, but I hope it's close.
My goal is to show how this nice shape can be created quick & easy - & with great accuracy if desired - to the other newbs like me. This is my first SketchUp tutorial, so go easy with the comments & please feel free to modify & improve the file.
Thanks,
Brad

Nice...But if you like Ruffles...Where are the ridges?
-
Ridges - ha!
I could add another one with ridges but I wanted this first one to be something for newbs - ridges add a little complexity, eh?
Maybe I'll add a ridges tutorial tomorrow - great suggestion - perhaps someone else will beat me to a ridges chip tutorial?
Happy Sketching,
Brad

Rrrrridddges.
The file is a bit high poly and has a glitch being scaled down from creating it but here you go.
No tut with it either, just the model. Basically I did the same as you Brad except for the arc on the side I made a high segment count. Then drew an arc from each endpoint alternating the bulge. Afterwards I offset the ridges then continued just like you did.
Thanks for adding a tutorial by the way. Much appreciated.

Dang! Beat me to it . . . but I think the ridges go "long ways" . . . eh?
-
you've got me all confused now! I can't for the life of me work out wether the ridges are length ways or width ways
-
i'm pretty sure the ridges are like green toasters.. otherwise, the chip would break in half too easily while dipping...
here's a pringle's style chip..
basically the same thing you did with and extra curve thrown into the mix..
-
Jeff, I think your chip is more realistic, captures the shape more accurately than the original one I did in post #1. All this chip modeling really makes me hungry for the real thing. :
-
Ha ha, that is great. Either way the ridges go they still taste the same
Actually they go diagonally according to this picture...
-
I wanna play too.
I added some texture to each of your chips, then created a imperfect one and rendered it.
-
hah.. awesome.
-
Nice Pete - thanks.
-
. . . did anyone else make a chip and then . . . see a hat?

Some folks just got WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands.
