Right...I've tried using Radial Bend by Fredo, and I'm almost there, except for 1 problem...after the bending holes appear in the horn! Any suggestions?

Thanks!

First, there is a plugin to make shapes like cone, torus and etc.

Play with the parameters - press tab. Try this

Hi there,

I'm trying to make a round horn using a cone, arc and the Shape Bender plug-in. I've come quite far, but I'm not there yet. The file I've attached will show how far I've gotten. Any advice on this? Thanks!

Better to use FredoScale radial bend

I can confirm - V-Ray doesn't recognize textures which have been painted in Photoshop via .kmz import-export.

Try CutList

So, other than Blender, are there any other apps that you would like to see supported by this plugin? I am thinking more in terms of UV mapping apps than 3D modelling packages such as 3DS max, etc.

Please, guys! This is not SolidWorks!

It works great, but there is a problem. If I make a cabinet component with all the banding info for the parts set and then stretch with FredoScale to get new dimensions the components get renamed

drawer_left;0W-1L#1

• they become new components. Since i'm using the names as a way to export banding info into the CutList Plus using ";" as a delimiter i have to rename again. But if i put this info as a prefix then everything will be fine and no need to rename again. Can You please make this script do the same but as a prefix? Sorry, if i sound too insolent

banding "-0W-1L"
Processed 2 Component Definitions
drawer_right-0W-1L
drawer_left-0W-1L

true

It works!!!!

I see. I thought it's a finished script ready to run. Never touched any scripting before. Thanks - will do it by hand.

Thanks!! Yes, I want to change component-definition.
I saved the ruby as a banding.rb in the Plugins folder, selected the components and run the script in the ruby console. Never been messed with this before - maybe I'm doing something wrong here?

banding
Error; #<NameError; (eval);42; undefined local variable or method `banding' for main;Object>
(eval);42

Thanks, Master TIG
How about applying this on a selection of components?
What I'm trying is to add a banding information to the names of the components as a suffix. If I have a components that share the same banding, to first select them and attach that suffix at once.

Good man. Never been to that part of the world. Do you ever visit the Zow exhibitions in Bad Salzufen in Germany or the one held in Italy in Pordenone?

Never been there. Actually, I'm just a newbie in all this fields - modeling, rendering and furniture building! Just started a year ago to learn all this stuff

Is there a way to attach a same string to the names of different components?
