Converting from one data type to another

Christopher Tyler Aug, 13th 2017 0 Comments
This tutorial shows the pathways through which Design 3D can convert data from one format to another. It shows how primitives can become bezier structures which in turn can become polygon meshes. These polygon meshes can then drive a subdivision surface object.

Adding ridges to a pill bottle cap, Part 1

Christopher Tyler Aug, 1st 2017 1 Comment
This beginner modeling tutorial for people new to Design 3D shows how to add little grip ridges to a pill bottle cap. NOTE: The start file is in 8.2.1 format and this isn’t backward compatible to prior versions. However, the start file also includes an OBJ version of the cap mesh which can be opened and used in versions prior to the 8.2.1 update.
