Challenge 6 : Concept Modeling of Side Fender

CONCEPT MODELLING OF SIDE FENDER

Objective:

This project aims to create a smooth surface for the car side fender and hood

Introduction:

In this project, we are going to see the tools which were used in creating curves, fillets, surfaces, and continuities. The tools I have used and where it is used will be covered in detail in this project.

Methodology:

In the starting process, I have used the image provided to generate the model as per the guidelines. I have done the car side fender and front hood by visualizing the image provided by analyzing shadows and highlights. let's see the process in a flowchart.

Flowchart:

Importing the image and visualizing the model, by analyzing shadows and highlights before starting to model

↓

Started to model by creating curves and lines for the model

↓

By using appropriate tools model the part of the fender and hood

↓

By using the symmetry option creating the symmetry part of the hood to fully complete the model

Description:

• Square tool - used when there is a four-sided curve that is completely interlaced without any gap
• Rail tool - used when there are 1 rail and 2 generation curves and 2 rail curves and 1 generation curve
• Attach and detach tools- attach and detach tools are used for attaching and detaching any surface or curves, commonly used to separate the spans in the curves
• Duplicate curve tool - duplicate curve tool duplicates the curves
• Align tool - align tool aligns the surface end to meet the requirement with respect to continuity
• Blend curve tool - used to create a blend curve between two endpoints
• Expandtool - used to expand a curve or surface beyond its current endpoint
• Project tool - used to project a certain curve to a surface, which is later used to trim or split
• Multi-surface draft tool - used to extrude single or multiple curves with angle or standard straight surfaces
• Surface continuity tool - used to check the continuity between surfaces
• Intersect tool - similar to project tool, used to project the curves on surface at the intersections between the existing surface
• trim tool - Used to trim or split the surfaces using curves on surfaces, which is used after using the project or intersect tools

Conclusion:

Here the project is completed and the corresponding tools were successfully learned and executed wherever necessary.
