Need help with Curved Form

[duralex]

Hello world!
Can help me with some advice how to do this form from the picture, I don't want the form to be sliced, just solid. I am tryin from 3 days but the results are not good.

Any advice is apreciated.

Hi Adrian,

Since you have fairly good section slices drawn at the top left, you could trace those and at the end skin those slices. There are good plugins for both. For the curvy contours, here is a good bezier plugin:

and for the final skinning, this would be fine:

I would be modelling it at a bigger scale to avoid incidental, small faces (which SU often has issues with) and scale it down at the end when done.

Thank's a lot!

Once you got the shape try Tig Slicer.

The problem is not to slice the model ..... is to obtain that organic form ...

Still working ...

I'm not 100% satisfied but is an alternative.

Thanks for help to all.

Well, satisfied or not, you know have the technique I guess (looks good although certainly not exactlythe other shape)
