With the Christmas season fast approaching, Maybe you are like me, might be working on modeling string light decorations. It’s a delightful addition to any scene, but it can be quite time-consuming to model.
I’d like to share my modeling approach below and also inquire if anyone has discovered a more efficient or faster method. Learning from how you model it can be enjoyable as well
However, I still have many more light strings to draw for this project.
If you knowa more efficient method, please let me know.
Thank you very much for sharing.
On the images you shared it looks like you have a symmetrical space, if that’s the case, you must model just one string, then use the mirror tool to make symmetrical copies of it.
The way you are modeling is well done, you can also use clothworks to make the cables a bit more realistic.
Thank you, Francis.
The issue is not limited to just this particular area in my project. I have to do multiple string lights along the walkway as well. like below image
I don’t think so, if you have already an assembly it’s a lot faster than using path copy, with profile builder you just select the lines, and click on follow along path button on the assembly window. All the cables and bulbs will be done in a few seconds.
It’s not complicated at all, I just watched one video tutorial and played with it for a few hours and now I can’t live without this tool, I create assemblies for a lot of things in my projects. It won’t take you more than a day to master in profile builder assemblies.
