Learning Alias sponsors the Education of children in Nepal. This is Deepana and we need to raise money to put her through Nursing College in Kathmandu. Learning Alias Blog is a free service, but if you would like to show your appreciation, please make a small donation. 100% of your money will go directly to pay Deepana’s college fees. Without the help of sponsors in the developed world, Deepana would receive no education whatsoever, as she comes from a remote Hymalayan village. Thank You for your kindness, graham bullock.

Making a Front Grille in Alias Studio
I built some projection curves and projected them onto the front surface to get curves on surface. I trimmed out the aperture using trim divide and moved the piece I had cut out backwards to form the back surface of the grille box. I made the grille box by running the Tubular Flange tool around the aperture < Single Surface, so you build the grill box fillets and draught surfaces all in one go. I set the Tubular Flange tool to < Radius 5mm < Flange depth 200mm. I then selected the tubular surface and assigned it a chrome shader.
Making Louvres in Alias Studio
I took a Duplicate Curve from the top outside edge of the tubular surf. and moved it down Z to where I wanted my first louvre to be built. Then I created a nice louvre cross section with a single curve and extruded it. Having done that I duplicated 4 extra louvres with < edit < duplicate < object.
Making the Verticle Vanes in Alias Studio
I dropped a planar surface at the origin in the left view and then mass produced the other 9 vanes using the Duplicate Tool. By plying around with the Transformation settings and + and- values it doesn’t take long to get a set of duplicates accurately set out. Once I had the 10 vanes, all I needed to do was slide them back on the X axis to suit the curve of the grille in the plan view.[slickr-flickr tag=”alias Duplicate Objects Option” type=”]

To Learn Alias Automotive to Industry Entry level has been made easier.
For student’s who have the objective of finding a CAD job in the near future, I still teach One to One students and all of these students get Automotive Modeling or Design/Modeling jobs, so it’s a great investment to make. The hourly rate is very high and there are vacancies in UK. France, Germany, Sweden, Spain, USA, Brazil etc. I can only take a maximum of 5-7 students at any one time. I teach all levels right up to Post Graduates. I have never had a Private student fail to get an Alias Automotive job (Companies include Ferrari, GM, Lotus, Opel, Audi Seat etc. ). If you wish to apply for a place, please email me with all your details.
