Modeling a 12-volt car plug adapter

Christopher Tyler Sep, 11th 2017 0 Comments
This tutorial shows how to model the body of a 12-volt car plug adapter. It uses Adobe Illustrator drawn bezier curves to create a Skin-type bezier object, which is then converted to a polygon mesh. This is then used to drive a subdivision surface object. It also shows several methods for generating intermediate curvature using bezier surfaces or subdivision surfaces.

This tutorial shows how to create the threads at the top of a twist-top glass bottle, something like a beer or soft-drink bottle. It shows how to create a lathe object and then integrate this bezier data into a polygon structure to create a final subdivision surface object.
