    loft problem

    No, its not a school assignment. I'm doing this as a favor for a friend that is a knife designer. I never had problems before, because i didnt need this type of skill. I assumed if there was need, it will be easier. I was wrong. The problem with me is, i dont have means other then internet and...

    loft problem

    I'm from Europe, but my country isnt listed. And i wouldn't be such a pain to you before and keep bugging you if this handle wasnt suppose to be finished next week. Not much time to learn how to do it. I did a lot of more strange shapes, but this really showed me how little i know when it comes...

    loft problem

    No, its okay. I perfectly understand. I'm at a very basic level. Shame there are not many tutorials for SW on the internet(free). As for SWUG, there arent any in my country. That's some of the problem, cause some words i dont understand completely or meaning behind them, since English isn't my...

    loft problem

    loft problem

    I'm trying to make a handle with nice curve(fillet is not good enough), but i'm having trouble with loft. I attached a file of the shape i'm trying to get, but when i try to loft using guides it doesnt work and i have no idea what i did wrong. I'm sure that it cant be that hard to make, its just...

    Pattern on curved surface

    Thanks. You guys are very helpful and nice. I'm sorry, cant open your file since i'm using SW 08, but i'm very interested on how you did it. Anyway you could show or explain in detail? Again, thanks a lot for taking your time and helping me.

    Pattern on curved surface

    Do you mean just bump texture in render? If that's the case, no i cant do that. It would not look good enough, because it doesnt support good realistic bump. I did search for texture and i assume you mean bump map, but i'm afraid it just would not do. It's easy, but does not look good.

    Pattern on curved surface

    Hello. My first post as i was searching the net for help on pattern and stumbled on this what seems to be very helpful site. I searched but still dont know how to make a pattern on curved surface. My best guess is wrapping but dont think that would do the job, plus i'm not sure how to do that:)...
