Hi Guys,
I would like to have some tips......if possible....
I am trying to build the new Hyatt hotel in Abu dhabi (see the picture).
The shape is quite strange but, using Curviloft and the extrude tools by TIG, it is possible to create that.
I am thinking about the mesh in the surface...
the external surface looks like done by different slices then there is a pattern-mesh of rhombus.
Is it possible to use Lattice maker?
and, if yes, how can I control that?

Stef.

Tig and the other guys,
sorry for the late!
Thank you for all your help!
trying with small faces, it is working as I need.

Hi Tig,
Thank you for your tutorial...
managing the number of segments is working...!
In my last attempts I see the ribs are really thick.....see the screenshot...
basically I cannot have the same result of your first post in this topic..

any suggestion?

It is a simple bunch of curves....could you explain how i can manage the segments with the bezier curves?
thank you very much.

Hi TIG,
I use a MacBook too and I have the same problem of Morphin_24....have you got any idea to solve that?
Thank you very much.

I am thinking that one way could be building the whole shape (using Curviloft or the extrude tools by TIG), then create several surfaces (for example big rectangles) in order to intersect those with the whole shape. Then using JPP it is possible to extrude the right parts.
I would like to use the Lattice extrude tools by TIG but it looks like difficult to manage in terms of frame.

I don't know how I could build something like you can see in the picture.
I think the best way is to build the profile and then use lattice plugin by TIG.
But.....I don't know if I can "control" the structure frame inside.
Any tips?

Hi Christophe,
I have solved the problem just restarting my Mac.
Sorry for the trouble,

Thank you for the amazing plugin!

I use Mac and it looks like it doesn't work.....
any tips?

Hi Tig,
thank you for your tutorial......again.....
I have followed your indications. I got the results I wondered.
We don't need Extrude face by rails as soon we could get the same results in other ways.

Thanks again.

Stef.
