[教學][影片] NURBS建模教學套餐 tutors set

建模是我最弱的一環 尤其是NURBS 由於市面上3ds max書籍關於NURBS建模很少 例子也太過簡單 多流於介面說明 所以我參考其他的CAD軟體書籍 把一些工業設計常見的專題 以3ds max軟體來建立 希望嘉惠3ds max的使用者. 教學1~4不需要任何外掛. 5與6需要nPower Power NURBS外掛軟體操作. 你可以到官方網站下載試用版. 3ds max的NURBS經常令人詬病 除了太陽春之外 無法用NURBS操作boolean, 另外其fillet指令也不容易使用 原本我想用Rhino 3D來建模 但是後來發現Power NURBS的外掛就能完全取代Rhino 3D同時又能在3ds max環境下使用 值得推薦.

[tutor][video]NURBS modeling a tap






This video tutors demo you how to model a tap, advaned NURBS modeling. Please note you need npower Power NURBS plugin to make this model. This plugin is very good at NURBS modeling, especially the fillet fuction whicth is very bad in default NURBS function in 3ds max.

[video][tutor]NURBS modeling a PET bottle










This video tutors demo you how to model PET bottle,advaned NURBS modeling. Please note you need npower Power NURBS plugin to make this model.

npower website click HERE

Description of this tutor:
In this video tutor I combine NURBS fuction in 3ds max and use the npower power NURBS plugin to perform some task during modeling this PET bottle. I take advange of the "Xcurve" function in power NURBS to make the wave pattern of this bottle. For the bottom of this bottle, I use the powerbollean to cut out the shape and fillet the it.

It seems that npower power NURBS has bug, so I am stick with default NURBS in 3ds max, until some task can not be done by default NURBS.

Tips: the cut out the shape of wave pattern, better check the "cap" fuction after you revolve the cure for the middle part of the bottle.

[video][tutor]NURBS modeling a hook




*** Donate to CG Taiwaner ***
In this video tutor you will learn basic NURBS to model a hook.

Description of this tutor:
(1) create shapes and corss-section of the hook
(2) convert to NURBS, join the curves
(3) By using "create 2-rail sweep" to crete surface for the hook

Tips: play around with "reverse curve" and change posion of start point of the cross-section curves to get better result

[video][tutor]Modeling a turbine (impeller)





In this video tutor you will learn how to model a turbine in 3ds max, basic NURBS modeling.

Description: First create rectangles and circle, attach those shapes together. Trim the shapes. Convert to NURBS and lathe. Secondly, to create fans of the turbine, create curve, extrude the curve. Create another cureve and trim the extrude surface. Fix the capping problem by convert to mesh, go to vertex level, select all vertex and weld.

[教學][影片] 義大利麵店的燈飾lights in a spaghetti restaurant

義大利麵店的燈飾 原本是認為太簡單了 所以打算不寫教學. 簡單說明: 燈泡本身是用sphere做成 轉成poly後用splice切成上下兩部分 上面那部份detach成燈架. 其他燈價部份是用cylinder製成 非常簡單. 光源是用omini 給予不同的multiplier.
