How to draw this fender?
-
Hi All,
Can someone please give me an idea on how to model this rear fender? I'm really at a loss as to how to go about doing it. Its got me stumped! At first I thought a good way to tackle it would be to create like an elongated terracota pot shape and cut the thing into quarters (to get that flowing round shape of the top section), then continue it straight down. However it curves in slightly towards the body but the geometry is perfectly formed! I'm really at a loss as to how to create this and would love if someone could help me out here
PS. I have shown the hidden lines because I want to recreate it precisely like this. I don't want to subdivide and smooth the shape organically.
Cheers,

Curviloft can be a starting point.

This is how I would do it if it is a free form, if you want to follow a certain line you just have to tune the surface more with the FFD plugin.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. I pretty much had the first section sorted but have never used FFD. That seems like a huge help for the last contour
Cheers again!
