Adding Stone window detail
-
P.s. Is this the plugin?

It's not too difficult to detail a Gothic window, I did this one years ago with nothing more than the arc tool and follow me:
You could also use the bezier plugin to have more curve options. The only other pointer I could remind you of is to make sure you build your model at 10x or more scale, when the curves intersect at the various points it can leave a lot of holes or SU won't want to intersect the small faces if modeled life size.

Try looking here for inspiration

Thanks, chaps. My brother is a stained glass window restorer so would really love to nail the techniques involved. I think I'm making the whole window thing more complicated than it needs to be. Will give it another crack tomorrow with a fresh head.

For anyone finding this thread in the future, I created my window(s) by using lines, arcs, follow me and intersection with model. Easy really, if a little bit of a ballache.

Very nicely done. Thanks for showing what you came up with!
-
Thanks, EA.
Attached are a couple of basic renders showing the window. Turned out OK I think.
-
Nice detail!
I don't know what you rendered it it, but it would look great with some sunlight coming in and falling on the floor.

And of course there is a 'GothicWidow' Ruby - but as I helped a Masters student co-write it it's not in the public-domain... Here are all of the permutations you can set for a customized size/arch-spring/pattern etc

Thanks

Your welcome!

Those look very much like the ones I made with the tube along path plugin (at least the composition and the cross section - as well as the "joins" where the certain pieces still need some care and intersecting).
-
Same idea, it's just all automated from a dialog where you input values for the various dims, arch-type etc.
It needs so manual tidying after creation as that part can be awkward 'in code'...
Here's a tidied, hidden-line version

Wow, that would have done the trick, TIG!

Unfortunately it's subject to a NDA...

I won't tell anyone....not even that asshole you hate

There was an essay here but maybe (s)he is hairless ?

Pilou has sniffed out the start of it... it evolved a lot via PM and email - he was doing his 'Masters' at "my" Architecture School down the road...

So a true romance with happy end!
