MODEL THIS: Loopita Bonita Lounger
-
Ah! I misunderstood. Great model BTW.
I could see that the actual construction was made up of maybe a dozen sections of 8 or 9 ribs each, so I decided to just do a single array of 96 ribs.
If anyone wants to try this from scratch (actual dimensions unknown):-
Make a single rib component 30" wide.
Make a 5' disc at the side as in alvis's image...to get the centre of rotation for the loop.
Make a rotated copy of the rib at 3.75 deg, then using the Move tool on the rotate handles, rotate it by -0.7 deg.
Activate the xcopyclone.rb until your finger drops off or you get a complete loop...whichever comes sooner. -
not bad not bad
-
I kept it as low poly as I could, but it still just topped 6000 faces.

Lots of impressive models here
Kind of a new twist on an Ottoman?If this piece comes flat-packed from IKEA I think I'll pass
-
OK, so who's up for the interior daisy-chain version?
-
here's a more user friendly version of the DC.
click on the component then.. Window->Component Options
this example shows one of the major letdowns of DCs (and what i'd love for the SUteam to fix!)..you can't move a component relative to it's axes without stretching it.. so, in order to get proper height control, i had to place the rib component inside another DC.. what this does is create multiple component definitions upon copying which leads to big files sizes/bad performance etc..
obviously not fine tuned etc as i don't have much time to spend on it but you get the idea.

.
btw - here are a few real world loops i've built

Seems a very dangerous model!
It's near Paraplegia for some skate users!

Nice work on those real ones Jeff. You got skills man.
I never expected so many great models this soon. You guys are awesome.

WIP.
Used copy along path (after I figured out how to keep the groups perpendicular)
-
I've done it by hand... no speedmodelling here
but by hand is more like doing one little bar, copy+rotate it 17 times, move each copy a few mm. Copy+rotate those 7 times, move each one the appropriate distance as well... so it's not really a helix I guess. no torque. just a shear.
And for the final touch, the hand grips or whatever for each segment. You guys all left those out I think... plus the fact that the distance is different there... Anyway. don't mean to be critical I omitted some stuff too. Like, the cushions. Sorry cushions.
So here's my pic. Enjoy.

Another great one Martha. Well done.
