[Tutorial > Modeling] A PoorFlatEllipsoidIndian Bowl
-
great tuts.....help me a lot to understand how S works.....just one question thou....if ever i want to put a hole on the rounded edges....how do i do that?? thanks....to the mods...pls move my post if im being OT
-
T cut a hole into a curved surface (in general), you will need to build a 3D shape the cross section of which will be the shape you want the hole to be, poke it through the curved surface, select both the curved surface and the 3D shape, right click > Intersect... > Selected. This will create the edges between the surface and the shape and you can simply erase all unwanted geometry (generally the leftover of your 3D, cutting shape and the cut-away piece of your curved surface).
Better understand by having a look at this tutorial - a little bit different example (not with a bowl) but the idea is the same.

got it!!!big help thanks!!!

Monday, March 2nd.
After months I come back on this thread.First, it's because the illuminating and simple Voder Vocoder's solution isn't available anymore on DataFileHost.
So here is a permanent link for his (SU6)skp:
squat_bowl_vodervocoder.skp
.
In addition i have made this screencast in order to easy show it.

http://www.viddler.com/explore/slb02/videos/15/re: Viddler videos are often hard to open. Given to the exceptional quality of it picture please don't give up: simply reload.. ;-)simon

Excellent !!!
-
Well, sometimes they DO load a bit harder (probably this depends on connection speed as well as server side bandwidth limitations) but I do like them for sure.
Maybe sometimes, when one opens the topic and many of the videos try to start streaming, it can be hard for internet connection.

If at the end of your KitoRaupp Pottery, you deselect (
Oups!) the spiral line you wanted (and needed) to remove, >> No Panic!!
Just take a look on this strange but very efficient new selection tool: "selected edges by defined angle", our frenchy Matt666 have developped in his last Selection Manager. It is specificaly a good tool to achieve the job ( to remove the spiral line)

Is it a Pottery Challenge or What?
Here is another fantastic way i was totaly ignorant to model our Bowl. Thanks Pilou to link this to us!
Pilou's link linking to:
which linking to:
KitoRaupp Pottery Twist on Youtube
and
KitoRaupp Spirale Tutorial on Youtube
and others KitoRaupp productions
On another hand the technic used is not so easy to reproduce. So I made this small video to clarify it. (I'm the author of nothing here).

These gif animations are very cool, Simon! Why don't you include the full size image with the [img] tags instead - after all they are not too big?
-
Hi! dear Gaieus, our cool "watching and listening man" (I guess at night you like listen the stars in the sky !!)
In facts I have made this Gif (450x337) to fit the forum. It is an experiment to deliver an animated explanation which needs just few seconds, for it is the case very often. I've first tried to display it in full format, afterwords I thought an animated thumbnail leading to the full format was better. I don't know. It depends of the case for sure
PS: i remember now why i made this way! This Gif is 732Ko . So if we put several in the same page we are surely going to difficult loading..

Merci Jean-Franco
Gaieus, "../but I do like them for sure.
There is many advantages to use Viddler: great picture quality, easy upload, nice statistics, Flash or original downloads, video comments, good sharing options,... Nothing is perfect, the streaming is a bit erratic
So I now put direct link systematically just below .
I have made a mistake at the end of my previous second video, PaintingTheBowl_B.
In order to reconstruct my Bowl, I have copied the single slice x49 (Cause my starting stripped tube was based on a 50 segments circle) (i had been surprise by the enormous time this operation had taken )
In fact i had forgotten this supposed "single slice" was already made with a couple of slices (mirrored). So, it was only necessary to copy it by 24 !!

Secondly i have missed to explore a modeling way which makes school inside SU. It is certainly not the easiest way nor time saving one. But it is a fresh handmade way.Indian bowls:

Due to the intensive manipulations, we are driven to make a lot of small mistakes. Most of them they come from Move tool. This is problematic when we want to paint and modify the object.
Here is cases of twisted rings.

So here is a second method, yes less fun but more robust:

Secondly because since the end of this first part thread, fantastic tools had been developped by some (wellknown) especially tallented Ruby Makers. An important part of those tools leads to allow SketchUp to be a modelling engine.
so Here is my PoorFlatEllipsoidIndian Bowl made with: SubdivideAndSmooth v.1.00 _ by Dale Martens (Whaat)
(I must say i'm not at all specialized with S&S. It is not an easy set of tools. I must confess that when after a while, i want use it again, i must go back to see the video tuts 1 & 2 again and again. But, but, little a little i find solutions to obtain what i want!! )(So for asking help, you can face up to our great masters as: Solo, Teezer, Boofredlay, Kwistenbiebel, Mariocha,.. sorry for those I forget or ignore)

Snippet pasted from Shaping a cylinder - interesting technique about the "fifteen degrees rotation" needed to achieve the spiral.
personal asking:
Why only a 15° disc rotation allows copy of ring angled edges to fit with the source, whatever the height is?
.
Ecuadorian answer:
360º (full circle) / 24 sides in circle (SketchUp default) = 15ºIf you want to use a 10º degree rotation you need to start with 36 sides in the circle.
If you want to do it with 20º, you need an 18-sided circle.
Solution during the night:
I was thinking of this in the very morning before wake! And i've find this is not something of "big theory" as I thought, but something pretty simple

And if you need a spiral line angled as you whish: "No Problem
"
it's always me

Come on Guys,
No good Tip added, no alternative process suggested, no remark on where I'm wrong, no companions to follow me in this "tutorials trail". Do you think I'm making this heavy work for some individual glory? I make it for you, dear-to-my-heart community. To accomplish something in a participative way.. I'm tired to work on the wind.simon.

Simon
What can I say? I liked your tutorial, I like the way you use SDS. I would have used the follow me tool or created a proxy actually but seeing your process you seem to have more control over the final outcome giving your method more accuracy.
That's the great thing about SU, there are so many solutions to a problem, and finding the one that works easiest to you is the answer.Believe it or not I learn everyday on this forum about new techniques, faster work arounds, hell just keeping up with all the new plugins is already becoming a fulltime job....and I'm loving it.
I forsee we will have a bunch of new tools soon as with the advent of one cool plugin it normally inspires or even opens the door to another, I bet in a year from now creating the same bowl/vase will be even easier with a tool we have not seen yet.
