Nepal: Please Join my action to raise money for people
sleeping rough in Nepal following the devastation of the Earthquake. Please donate just 10-30 GBP/
15$ to 45 $ Why not take 2 min to do it now?
Learning Alias sponsors the Education of children in Nepal. But right
now we need to raise money quickly to send to her village Khiji Chandeshwori, which is in the foot
hills of Mount Everest. 7 homes in this small village 2 days walk from the nearest road, have need
completely destroyed and the families are sleeping under plastic in the rain and cold. However much
is collected up to 1000 GBP ,LearningAlias will double. Thank You for your kindness, graham
bullock.
Making a Front Side Lamp Reflector Autdesk Alias
I started by making a proflie curve in the Front view and then projecting it onto all the surfaces that converge at the front corner of my carOnce I have trimmed out the opening I build a Draft surface back along the X axis from all the surfaces involved in the aperture.
Intersecting the draft surfaces
The draft surfaces form a tube and I intersect this tube with a planar surface and then trim the planar surf. and the draft surfs. to close off the basic reflector shape. Probably this is the moment you should attach a construction plane set to Geometry, as from now on I needed to see the back surface in true view and not in world space.
Pulling the individual reflector depressions
I needed 3 depressions, so I made a square from key Line curves and copied and pasted to create the 3 squares.Next I projected the squares onto the back surface of the reflector, built 3, 5 degree square surfs. with 4 spans in the U and V. This makes sure that you have a centered CV in the hull.
Cut It Out
Once I had the 3 squares, I trimmed out the surface behind them from the planar surf.
Using the Proportional Modification Control
I used this tool with NUV mode selected to pull out the depressions in the parent surf.
Generating Material Thickness
Most of the time I do this by setting all my surfaces with their normal in the same orientation< Surfaces<set surface Normals. and the I use the offset tool to build my inner offset surface. In this model I have trimmed back the inner surf by 5mm to create a rebate for the gasket.[slickr-flickr tag=”sidelamp”]________________________________________________________________
