Modeling Ex amples
Scooter: Splines form cross sections of the body
One method of using Surface Tools is to c reate
splines t hat represent a model’s cross sections,
then the CrossSection and Surface mo difiers are
applied to creat e the patch surface.
Face: Spline network based on front and profile reference
images
Two intersecting texture-mapped polygons are
used as a reference to create a network of splines
manually. Drawing lines on the physical sculpture
is used as an added visual aid to position the
splines in this case. The CrossSection modifier
is not necessary if you c reate the spline network
manually.
