T-Splines and Other Stuff in Fusion 360 

it's easy. All you have to know is the knowledge of CAD and how CAD and Parametric design works. It's easier than Rhino, but still Rhino is best when it comes to these sort of stuff.

Chris, I have watched Sky greenwalts videos, talk to Sky personally, paid him for consulting and still not a good explanation of what he was talking about. This is 10X better. Greatest take away. Watch Maya videos to learn how to use T-splines. That is where it all comes from.

That is where I am headed. I loved T-splines for rhino, but unfortunately didn't buy it when I could had. Now I have to learn Fusion 360 to use T-splines again. I'm still not sure If I think fusion is the way to go. May look into clayoo. hmmm.

Thanks for posting this. There were some very valid points brought up in this thread, some of the bigger ones are: I don't go into valid solutions for solving the problems that I present in the video even though they exist. 5-sided faces are OK in certain instances... For example, the subdivide tool by its very nature will create 5-sided faces out of surrounding geometry and the surface quality is still good. I'll try for higher accuracy in future videos.

I've considered doing this, but to do it right would take months with my schedule so I scrapped the idea. If you're really interested in modeling cars in Fusion, your best bet right now would be to adapt tutorials from other software... and keep an eye on tutorials for "Alias Speedform" - it's like a modified version of Fusion aimed more closely at car modelers. Here's a video of speedform cut to modeling a car (you can see the similarity to fusion): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-j3n0M43mHx4.htmlm50s You could look at tutorials for T-splines in Rhino: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-C6DE5CZGPb8.html You could also look at poly-modeling videos like this: [maya] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DEmjAr2xyyg.html [3ds max] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H7-FuUZGp2E.html Or surface modeling videos like this: [solidworks] ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PuppqhY00w4.html

@@unimportantprojects poly modeling is so similar its almost funny. I model exclusively in blender, right? so I one day heard about T splines, was like "hmm that loks suspiciously like subsurf modifier in Blender (which everyone uses for everything)", and downloaded Fusion and imported the mesh of a car I've been working on (without the modifier applied, so it was just blocky and low-poly). Convert to T spline. It looks IDENTICAL to the version in Blender. Honestly, I would rather use Blender or max, maya etc if using t splines anyway. The tools in those programs are so delevoped from decades of updates that you can accomplish something way faster. Seriously, is there any reason to make a t spline mesh in Fusion with all its Autodesk suckiness and jankiness? I fail to see any reason not to make any t spline object in Blender and import into Fusion, it takes like 3 second to import and has an identical result.

That was done with a surface loft. Create 3 construction planes using "plane along path", one at beginning, middle, and end of the edge you are applying this to. On those three planes, create sketches with circle profiles with the desired diameter at that position. Then create a surface loft between the three circles. You can then use that surface to trim - depending on the geometry, you may want to apply a surface extend to the ends of that loft to make sure it covers the area you want to trim. Hope that helps.

wooh 2 months ago!

what do you do? like career-wise, if you don't mind my asking

Probably a better private message.

al menos t-splines son mejores, porque Autodesk compró; esta empresea y desde entonces esta mejorando las funciones.
