welcome back to PJ Chen Design. today we are going to play with the form and
come up this hollow construction. Are you ready let's get started!
before we get into the model I would like to remind you if you haven't joined
the membership. there are a lot of my secret modeling tricks that I share with
the member only. hope to see you there. that's starting at the top view. we're
gonna use the rectangle tool, and there's a conic corner on the rectangle, and I
want to starting with the center. let's type of 0 here, and holding the shift is
going to make a square, and I'm going to coming in a little bit to make this pillow
looking shape over here. second things we wanted to do is to kind of a drawing a
curve from the center going up. that's roughly about this size. I'm going to
draw another curve coming over here and a curve snapping into the end point
coming down here. so that will be my reference line there. what I like to do
with those reference line is I'm going to blend the curve from this end to this
end. so that way we'll get the curve there. we no longer need this reference
line so I'm just going to delete them to creating the surface. we are going to
using rail revolve, and this is the profile. this is the rail and we're gonna
go from here to here, and then that's how we get that first shape. now coming to
the top, you can do all kind of cutout that you like. I personally like to do
something more symmetrical, so I'm going to have a circle over there. maybe a
little bit smaller like this, and I'm going to using the polar array snapping
into the zero, and I want to fold them in for in 360 degree. so then I have this
curve this this and this, and we are going to use the trim command to trim
off this one this one this one and this one.
so now I have the shape on the surface we are going to turning into the solid.
let's go ahead to use the offset surface and we want to offset this surface. you
can flip the direction you want. I want them to offset inside and I do want to
solid equal yes, and you hit enter. then that's the shape that you're going to
get .I'm going to do the second layer, and the second layer need to be a little bit
smaller. so I'm going to duplicate this edges of it here, and we are going to
offset again this time, when we are offsetting we not just offset a curve we
want to offset the curve on the surface so the offset curve on the surface is the
command we wanted to use. it's going to ask you which surface is. so we're gonna
pick up this surface, and notice that the arrow is pointing out into the hole.
we want to flip it. so it will coming out there the thickness is up to you. I might
want to do 0.7, so then I will get a curve over there okay. so now with
this curve, because it's all symmetrical. I am going to use the polar array, and we
are going to set it up zero and four again four of them 360-degree, and then
we'll get this curve here okay, so now that we have the curve. I'm going to
create another surface by extract this surface, and also this surface. okay so
Let's joined back together, and turning into the red color. alright so I need to
make a duplication. Let's to copy and past. ctrl-c and ctrl-v, and hiding one of
them, and let's go ahead to join back this one, and bring back the surface that
we have. I just don't want to make a mistake. so that's hiding the solid that
we have over there. so now we wanted to do is pick up the curve we just created
by offset on the surface, and then we want to use it to trim the surface over
here. here here on all four direction. so now
we have this one that's making into the solid by offset the surface one more
time. this time let's offset outside, so if we turning back to the one that we
have then this is the shape that we have. it is now up to you how you like to
trimming inside. So let me hide this one, and we're gonna pick up
this curve this one, this one, and this one, and let me bring them into other
layer. so it's easier for us to see by just those curve. I'm going to flatten
those curve by project to Cplane. and I want to delete the input. so now
those, are my curve, and they are flat. I simply just want to draw a circle to be
something like this. and I'm going to select everybody to trim the area that I
don't need. and join them. let's bring back the shape that we have. and see if
it is going to be too thin or too thick. all right so if I cutting in here it
might be a little bit too close to the edge. so I'm going to change my design a
little bit again by offset this curve surface inside a little bit all right so now
this is a new curve and if that is working for you just go ahead to make it
into the solid. so I'm going to extrude straight.
and we want to cut a hole out that's using the boolean difference this and
this will be different out by this guy. we simply want to rotate this guy for 45
degree and let's what we are going to get. if you have those two to mirror to
the other side, and make sure you Boolean those two, and these two are
boolean together. so now you have this bead going this way. you can make them as a
Bead or making this earring or the stone right in the middle. please
like and comment, and share my video so I can reach more people. thank you for
watching. see you next!!
