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.

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.

Bezier Conversion Example 2

Christopher Tyler Aug, 18th 2017 1 Comment
In this tutorial we take a look at the geometry conversion pathway, specifically dealing with the creation of skin bezier objects that are then converted to spline and eventually to polygon mesh. It also shows how to specifically prepare bezier art in Adobe Illustrator to get the most predictable skinning result.
