DSID136-SP1, Tide Detergent Bottle, Solidworks Tutorial, Part 4

[jammondesign]

I'm surprised, however, that no one complained about my voice getting out of sync with the mouse movements. Even I got confused, when I heard my voice say "contact, tangent, tangent, curvature...". Apparently, this is a problem caused by the video capture software.

I've re-watched the video, and I can somewhat understand the comments. I like to focus more on methodology and modeling strategies, rather than creating super-detailed "push this button, push that button", tutorials. These videos are pitched to those who are completely comfortable with the interface and don't necessarily want to see me draw every single spline and click every edge. That being said, I probably should have shown how to make a few of those surfaces in more detail.

This is a great tutorial! Anybody with 6 months Solidworks experence should beable to follow it and create their own bottle. All of the Step by Step tutorials don't make you think, you just follow...

Instead of asking him to do a step by step tutorial, why not TRY to make the bottle with this tutorial... Trust me, you will learn a lot more by figuring out stuff he does not show..... rather than just copying what somene does :)

for making a real 2torial you got to build it step by step and make an live explanation of what youre doing - but really nice model :)

@bytelyte

Thanks for the compliment on the model, but I'm confused by your comment. I tried to show each step and I explained each step as I went along. Did you have the audio turned off, by chance?

[bytelyte]

@jammondesign my audio is on ( i am german -i understand most but not everything) -the model already exists. its not build live. by watching this tutorial i would never be able to build that model too. maybe its for advanced users? by the way- since when youre working with SW?

(Ive been doing it for 1 month now)

@bytelyte

It seemed to me that I was explaining each step, but it sounds like you want me to start with a blank file and build everything from scratch, instead of rolling through each feature and giving an explanation as to how it was built. That would probably be a really long video, and very time consuming to make and edit. To answer your question, I've been using SW for 12 years. This video is intended for someone who has taken my beginning class, and has about 6 months of experience.

@jammondesign . you may not build the whole model- but you may build a few surfaces (set of surfaces) and explain what youre doing and why you do it in that way and not in another way (some tips and tricks). if youre using SW for that long time your knowledge about building in SW may be very precious. well done SW 2torials wich show the process of building surfaces like those in this 2torial are rare and hard to find but to me as a productdesign- student very helpful. thanx a lot...

@jammondesign I agree with the german guy. i have been using SW for about month and a half-two months. I find your tutorial very good but also a little bit complicated to follow since you are not showing how you did the stuff. If you could show how you did some stuff (not all of it), it would be wicked.

Other than that, congrats.

I think that your thorough presentation and moderate pace to these tutorials is fantastic!
