T-Splines 2.0 for Rhino tutorial: Modeling a dolphin Part 1

[krlosbernal16]

buen dia; donde puedo obtener los blueprints del delfin ???

[tsplines]

@krlosbernal16 You can find the background picture at the T-Splines website on the dolphin tutorial page.

the orange circle over the arrow isn't part of the plugin is it? Or is it just in the video so you can see where the arrow is?

[tsplines]

@phrawgg2 it's just part of the screen capture software.

[tsplines]

It's flat pictures to start with, imported using Rhino's Picture Frame feature

@tsplines:

hi, I started using Rhino 4.0, I have some questions for you.

1. In step 1, which fuction can I make smoothbox, I just create Boxmode only

2. somehow I cannot use the move and scale manipulator to adjust the control points on side view that you do, I only drag one by one, that is quite slow.

3. I cannot pick up the edges on the model to drag as well

[tsplines]

@TAIVE16 Hi!

1. Run tsSmoothToggle to get smooth mode.

2. Marquee select the control points (click and drag a selection box around them) to get multiple ones.

3. Click the Mode in the Heads-up display until Edges show up to select edges.

@tsplines

Thanks so much,

Maybe I am using a different version from your. I try to find tsSmooth Toggle in Rhino 4.0, but I just found out "smooth" command in Mesh tool.

I try to type "_tsSmooth" in command area, it didn't work

[tsplines]

@TAIVE16 yes, you need to have the t-splines plugin installed in rhino to get these commands. Get the plugin at tsplines.com

4. I can even pick up the face to extrude a new face on it. And where is the function to extrude a new face from a selected face like you do in step of making nose of dolphin

[tsplines]

@TAIVE16 You can extrude a face by running the tsExtrude command. You can also hold down the ALT key while dragging a manipulator while a face is selected.

the reference picture (the dolphin...) is it a 3D since the begginig? or flat pictures??

[mouthmusic]

This tutorial rushes way too fast past the first critical steps which are fundamental to know to get to the last steps, ie, ts box command, turn symmetry on, etc.

Is there a video for a box modeling workflow?

[minggnim]

This is more of an example than a tutorial.

Though it is good.

Really interesting way to 3D think this method would be a real change for a lot of people looking to get into it. Rhino3D is already amazing, with these type of plug-ins makes it that much better. Really getting into this software to use on my K2CNC, can't wait to get started.
