Alias Studio Automotive Rear End Cont’d,
Today I cut a large slot through the rear spoiler to give a lighter feel to the model I did this by building a rectangular curve set, duplicating it. Moving the top set forward and the lower set rearward. I then skinned a surface between the 2 sets and intersected it with the integral spoiler.
Radius tool for integral spoiler
Once I had trimmed away the protruding parts of the skin surface I trimmed out the top and bottom apertures in the spoiler.
Save out before trimming
To prevent loosing valuable work flow whilst trimming. I always save out my work before trimming anything that’s tricky. I do the trimming,but don’t save the trimmed work flow until the trim process has been successful. This has saved me countless heart aches.
When Building A Complex Alias Model
I save anything up to 100 different versions of the work flow. I make sure to date each file as I save it. This makes it easy to find the version you are looking for when something has to be binned or you need to import a part of your model which has been deleted erroneously. This often happens whilst trimming.
Alias Studio Expanded Metal Shader
Where I have used expanded metal shaders, I have duplicated the surface moving one surface back 5mm to create a backing surface, which I shade mat black. The front surface gets the metal shader. If I don’t use this work flow I can see the inside of the car through the grilles.________________________________________________________________
