Sweet! I didn't really expect to win, but I will wear the crown with honor:p
Anyway, give me a day to think of a challenge and I should post it tomorrow. I don't have an idea ready.
Thanks!

:p looks like another 2nd place for Nez. Guess we need to stay tuned to see if Nez can pull out the MMC... ;)
Congrats Ed! Looking forward to the new topic. :) |

Thanks Jack - getting quite a collection of 'silvers'!
Pipped at the post again! Was leading the vote for a while again, but I always seem to run out of puff just as the line draws into sight! Anyway, Ed's rackets were a worthy winner - well done Ed. I thought about trying something similar but couldn't think how to approach the strings convincingly in the time available - how did you do them?
At least I've got the MMC as consolation! |

It was actualy pretty easy. I started by drawing a poly line curve (image 1).
Next, I took that path and smoothed all the sharp corners by changing all the points at once and smoothing them (image 2).
Next I drew a circle to loft along the "string" path (image 3). |

Next I lofted the circle along the string path and adjusted the size until it was a thickness I was happy with (image 1).
I then converted the NURBS rail patch with history to a NURBS plain patch. And then I converted that to a polyhedron (image 2).
Then rotating, copying, scaling etc and then booleaning off the extra gives and you've got the strings of the racket (image 3).
Hope this helps.:jumpy:
Maybe if I get the time I'll post a tutorial for the whole racket. (I still need to finish the clock tutorial). |
