Freeform in practical use

Do you know, that… ?

Is this the thoroughbred engineer, which designs machines, injection molds, vehicles, etc.? Of course, so that. But there are areas of engineering, where sometimes you have to use the more evocative operations with graphics programs, like for example. 3ds max, Rhino or Blender. Such an area is e.g.. industrial design.

Operation sOlidwOrks I think about is Freeform, where deposited by points on the grid may be formed of UV wall. In my field – and it is in addition to training also design m.in. consumer products, packing, etc. – I happen to use this operation to restore the free surface.

In connection with the day of the phages I decided to cite a few examples of applications, which I put below.

But remember an important detail. If the boundary wall consists of two, three or more edges, you do not get good effect. This is because, that curves there will then be aligned to the border. They are a set of orthogonal UV lying on the wall.

Therefore, care should be taken, to limit consisted of four edges. Often we do it “artificially” using crop, the dividing line or dividing sketch.
