: Use Projected Curves and the Trim tool to cut openings for windows, lights, or vents. 4. Evaluation and Refinement A "full piece" is only complete if it is technically sound.
: Build the largest, most critical surfaces first (like the tank or seat of a motorcycle) to establish the primary volume.
: Use Edit Point Curves (typically set to degree 3) to outline the main silhouettes. : Use Projected Curves and the Trim tool
To "prepare a full piece" in , you follow a structured workflow that transitions from initial concept sketches to a production-ready Class-A model. 1. Project Setup and Curves
: Organize your workflow by creating custom shelves for your most-used tools (e.g., Edit Point Curve, Circle tool, Duplicate Curve) via the Windows > Shelves menu . : Build the largest, most critical surfaces first
: Use Zebra Stripes or Horizontal/Vertical Lines to check for surface imperfections or "lumps".
: Use the Rail or Square tools to generate surfaces from your primary curves. Edit Point Curve
: Ensure you save your hotkeys and preferences to maintain consistency across future projects.
