I’m also going to make sure to place a point where our parting line is located, which is where these two pieces come together. I’m going to start at the top point of the first line on the left and I’m going to follow the curvature. As you can see, once you get used to where the commands are located, the marking-menu is extremely helpful as you transition to more advanced concepts. I’ll do this a few times to show you what this should look like. To use the marking-menu quickly, you’ll need to hold the right-click with your mouse and as you hold that right-click button you’ll want to drag straight down and straight over to the right. The markin-menu is intended to be a quick action with the mouse. However, this is not the intention of the marking-menu. In some of my beginner lessons, I use the marking menu by right-clicking and then I slowly show you where to click, so you can start to memorize where each tool is located. I like to use the marking-menu to access the Fit Point Spline. We’ll now need to create the top curvature using the Fit Point Spline tool. After creating this horizontal line I’m also going to right-click on the line and add the horizontal constraint to it, as we’ll be using this as the revolve axis in just a bit, so we want to ensure this line is at zero degrees. Next, I’m going to connect the lines from midpoint to midpoint. Then, I’ll draw a line at the back of the blow dryer. After drawing out the line I’ll add a dimension of 43mm, which is the approximate diameter. I’m going to draw the first line the length of the front of the blow dryer. I’m going to start with the line tool and I’ll select the XZ plane as the plane to sketch on. Then, I’ll show you a few things to look for when surface modeling. First, we’ll surface the top area of the hairdryer and then we’ll surface the handle of the hairdryer. What we’re going to do is break this surface model into two main parts. With the reference image setup, we’ll need to start by creating the reference geometry that we’ll use to create the surface model. I won’t be covering any of the internal components. Then, from here, we’ll find all of the surface modeling tools under the “Surface” tab.īecause this tutorial is all about surface modeling, we’re going to be working on the outside surface or the external curvature. With this new toolbar UI, you’ll want to first make sure you’re in the “Design” Workspace, which was formerly the modeling workspace. Therefore, we’ll need to use surface modeling tools. Throughout this tutorial, I’m going to walk you through some common surface modeling techniques.
