How to create an hour glass shape.

[solo]

Sub-divide and smooth and FFD will be a great solution.

Solo,
Thank you for trying to help, but I have to be honest. I have no idea what you just said.

Create the shape with (rectangular faces)
Sub-divide and smooth (ruby)
Then using FFD (ruby) you define the shape.

Solo,
Ok I get it now. Thank you very much.

If you don't have SubSmoove--follow me is great too. Draw the profile you want and FollowMe around the circle.

This took about 5 mins. Good Luck.

Thank you all. the stool turned out quite nice, but i had one more question. If i was trying to create the Kartell Gem Stool, is there a knurl tool or something to that effect that would triangulate the surface to have the realistic qualities of the stool. Thanks again I appreciate you taking the time to help.

Is this what you are trying to model?

Lol Show-off! Seriously though. Great model!

[dumpinthegutter]

yes that is the one. not necessarily my style but you do what you have to right?

[watkins]

Dear Chango70,

No, that is not my model. It is an image I got of the web. I posted it so others could see what was required. It looks tricky to model.

Oops sorry I thought it was a render you did. You just can't tell these days. Apologies.
