I’m building an SU model of a locomotive engine that I want to 3D print. I’m able to handle most of the intricacies, but there’s one that I can’t get a handle on. It’s the waffle surface of the Roots Blowers at the back of the engine. I need help getting started.
I can conceive of doing the pattern in one plane, but can’t see how to do it in both planes.
A very rough approach.
On a more strangeely shaped component fredo’s joint push pull could work once you have the lines drawn ( and they could be overlaid in a number of ways ( drape being one) or flowify?
All good! I have Flowify. Now I just have to figure out how to use it. The tutorial was making a lot of mouse moves that were almost too fast to follow. I seem to get the gist. The target object and the pattern have to be group together. I’m going to try that first since I already have the extension.
Much thanks. I’ll share the results (good or bad) with y’all.
