Can you draw something like this?

 

[SketchUp Guru]

No takers, huh? Oh well.

Pretty impressive looking, Dave!
So how's it done?

Thank you.

Got me. I was hoping someone else would tell me. :lol:

Actually I'll have a how-to coming along in a few days.

How about this?

Do you fancy doing a 7-sided one?

Russ

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Nice. Did you draw it in SketchUp?

 

[Russ]

Thanks

I drew it using Cinema4D.

Draw a wavy spline to suit then make it solid by extruding etc....
Finally; curve round 360 so both ends meet - copy and paste, then rotate 60 degrees.

You can download a demo of C4D here http://www.maxon.net/en/downloads.html

Now do it in SketchUp.

I love a challenge!!

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Export from C4D or from scratch?

Will that do? It's not as efficient as it should be, unfortunately.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Not bad Steve. It's got six humps not five like mine.

Every one's a critic.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

How was that video?

Can you draw something like this?

Will this do? I'm afraid I cheated and used various olde worlde drawing instruments and paper, ha, ha. Slainte.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Good work Richard.

I guess I neglected to mention SketchUp at the beginning so it'll do. You do nice work.

 

[Sgian Dubh]

Dave, I recognised immediately you'd drawn yours in SketchUp for the results of creating drawings in that programme always have a certain 'look' to them.

I'm very aware of your abilities with SketchUp. I've seen many demonstrations of your excellent representations of objects, room settings and the like in a range of woodworking forums using the programme.

I put my five or ten minute sketch up for comparison with my tongue in my cheek. In this case I was able to draw it very quickly because you provided me with a nicely set out model to copy. It probably would have taken two or three times as long to do if I'd had to dream it up from nothing. Slainte.

 

[SketchUp Guru]

Yes, there usually is something that makes it evident that a drawing has been done by computer and not be hand.

I like that you drew it by hand even if it was done tongue-in-cheek.

I hope no one thinks I post these things to show off my skills with SketchUp. I do them because I hope it will encourage others to stretch and improve their skills.
