How to model a coffee mug with Gumball + Open Sub Division (25 min)

This video is an introduction video for Rhino 6 with the focus: precise modeling with the Gumball.

Opensubdivision
The OpenSubDivision-Tool in Rhino is still in Beta version!
The command is: “ToSubD” (before it was “SubDFromMesh”)
Convert back from Subdivision to Nurbs model with Command “ToNurbs”

How to model with the Gumball

Close/open videochapter

Select object hierarchy with STRG+SHIFT: surface, edges, vertice points

5:03 min

Gumball handles: colors RGB = XYZ

6:14 min

move surfaces: arrows of the gumball Extrude surfaces: points of the gumball

6:57 min

Scale surfaces: square handles hold SHIFT for uniform scaling.

7:45 min

Move and snap surfaces: set snappy dragging (right mouse menue gumball) and use objectsnap

9:23 min

Viewport: ghost and help menue

12:27 min

Create the handle of the coffee mug with extrude, move…

14:18 min

Extrude lines to surface to close open wholes in object handle.

17:49 min

Open polysurface and closed polysurface: use “Join” to create a closed polysurface for 3d printing. Autosave your files!

Freeform modeling with Open Sub Division

Close/open videochapter

CMD “Mesh”: create Mesh out of your closed polysurface
CMD “ToSubD” (SubDFromMesh): create openSub object Be aware that the topology of the mesh defines the result of your Opensub.

21:32 min

CMD “PointsOn”: work with control points to shape your OpenSub object.
CMD “ToNurbs”: convert back to Nurbs-model.
