Modeling a 12-volt car plug adapter

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.

Bezier Conversion Example 4

In this tutorial we take a look at the geometry conversion pathway, taking UV mapping into account. The need to work with an object’s UV data is a deciding factor for why you may need to change a bezier-based object into a polygon one.
