Hello, everyone welcome back to PJ Chen Design channel. Today we are going to
work on this vase structure. The image is from one of my YouTube subscribers. Are
you ready! let's get started!
I got the message from a Emirhan and
providing this image right here. I usually like the student try first, and
send me the model. Let me know what is, where's the issue, and I think that's the
best way to learn. But this is a kind of a very interesting form, so I would like
to starting from scratch for this demonstration. To make this shape we
kind of need to understanding the structure first. Let's take a look on
this picture one more time. In this picture, it look like this is some sort
of a vase form already, and you have some cutter to cut out those. The only thing
is you may spend some time on is how to arrange those cutters. it is three rows
and in between each of the roll the point of the cutter is aligned into the
center of the two cutters. So if we can arrange some sort of the cutter go like
this way, that should work something similar for this structure. Okay so
Let's starting with whatever curves that work for you. I'm gonna starting
from the base, so I will have snapping into the zero, coming out for whatever
size that I want to here, then I want to use the curve. Let's go to do something
similar like this. Now once we have this, we need to make it into this
surface, so we are going to use this one and then to use the command is "revolve",
snapping into the center for our revolve axes, and then we are going to revolve
360 degrees. so let's how we get this base. Okay you need to make sure that is
the shape that you like before you continue to do the rest of the step. Next,
let's use the "Create UV Curve" command and we're gonna create a UV curve to
arrange everything flat, and and then we will flow it back
to these surface. First of all, I need to kind of a design our first
cutting tool. The cutting tool it looked like... let's take a look on this picture
again. It looked like there is a hexagon kind
of a structure, but it's being squeezed down, so I'm going to use the command for
"polygon", and I'm going to draw a hexagon like six number size=6.
if yours is not, you can change it right here. Holding the SHIFT. Then I will have
something like this, and I would like to squeeze it down a little bit, something
more like this. Maybe a little bit smaller okay. And then we are going to
work with this one, but I don't like it so pointed over there. so I'm gonna
use the command this is called "Fillet Corners" and I'm gonna fillet this curve,
and let's try 1.5, so it's a lot more smoother on the edges there. Okay Let's
moving this one to the center, Horizontal Center, so I'm going to align the curve
with the horizontal Center, and to anywhere there, so this one stay right in
the middle. Okay we are going to creating the surface as our cutting tool. I'm
going to go to the perspective. Let's take a look over there.
I'm gonna create a arc. This arc is going to snapping into midpoint and the
midpoint and I want this art go downward, Because we are going to use as a
cutting tool to cut inside of these surface. Alright now we have this one
and we need to use those two making a surface. I'm going to use the command is
Sweep2, but we need to have two rails. So let's go ahead to split this curve
into two by snapping into the quadrant. So I want to use the point there, and
point there, as my cutting tool, to turn this into two curves. Next let's create
the surface by "sweep 2 rail", so rail one, rail two,you need to go from the
point, which is the end point or the quadrant there, and then go into this
cross section and again going to the point over there and that's how we get
this surface there okay so now we have one surface we need to have a bunch of
them so we're gonna take a look on the top view
alright so the go is filling up like entire entire role instead of copy and
pass one by one I'm going to use the linear array so this one is going to be
array and how many of them I don't know I'm just kind of guessing so I'm gonna
guessing 25 and see how that goes all right it's I think it's enough for
us so I'm gonna move it roughly like this and just did it whatever is not
needed okay so I have 25 over there and I'm going to
group them temporary make a copy by just pulling up and hit the orchid so you
have the copy there now I'm also going to just move it back to visually to look
at it like word that is if you are really particular about a distance I
will suggest you to measure and you know moving into exactly half of the distance
let's use the mirror command snapping into the midpoint so that way we can get
some sort of a pattern like this okay now with this pattern we need to take a
look at how a flowy back and it will be matching you know exactly where is worse
so first of all we need to have this one I'm going to snapping exactly half of
this so I'm gonna move that curve from this point and a line with this
point so make sure that your your smart track is um alright so here's an
intersection right so that one is done now let's take a look on this one look
like we need two more two coming out there and cutting the shape in half so
I'm going to ungroup those and to be accurate I'm going to mirror those two
and using this end point as my mirror exit and have something like this
alright so now we have this this need to be aligned with the point just half of
our color so I'm going to pick up the point and pick up this point and I'm
going to use the move tool move from this point and aligned with this point
at the intersection so that way it is exactly half of them and we could trim
you later okay so now that's creating a surface by the
surface from planar curve let's take a look on the perspective so every
everything should line up perfectly okay so we need to trim bunch of them at once
and you can use a trim tool to trim bunch of them and I would like to use
the bowling different tool and this probably will only work for Rhino six
Rhino five you will still need to trim one by one so we're gonna select this
surface enter and we're gonna select the race of them and enter all right all of
sudden is cutting everything there perfect
alright so now we need to trim the two extra on actually full extra on the side
we're gonna use the curve on the top view I'm going to trim this guy and this
guy you and you okay so now we have a surface it's ready to flow it back and
the surface look like this okay so now we are looking at
perspective one more time to flow back we need to have a reference surface so
I'm going to use the same curve and that's just use the surface from planar
curve alright so now let's go to transform flow a long surface we're
gonna pick up the poly surface first click on one of the corner and we wanna
click on opposite side for our target all right perfect so now we have all on
it we no longer need the original surface right but we do need interior so
let me just scale this down as our interior like this and I may want to
have this inside one going to moving up a little bit and so I'm going to use the
align tool to align to the top to the outside all right to close this one we
are going to use this the same command we've been using today we're gonna use
the planar curve to creating this surface using one more time to create
this surface so let's join them together all right
so on the top I do want to have a rim like look really nice and round so
instead of just cap it I would like to use the command
it's called plane surface and we're gonna blend from this curve to this
curve you can adjust like how much you want on the plane to be like pointed at
one side or smoother higher lower and then you okay something like this don't
forget to join all of them then they will be a solid to print alright so this
is our vase today I hope you enjoy the video don't forget to subscribe and
click that little bell next to it so you will get the notification from me
whenever I have a new video usually is Monday for the right now leave the
comment let me know how I do or if you have other questions I will love
to help you and that's make this learning community better thank you and
I'll see you next
