Stuck on a Y or V Transition? Blending out two fillets into a continuous surface or edge can be tricky. Check out this technique in Autodesk Alias for Automotive Modeling.
*Edited* cool video editing and background music. valuable info as always. im still not an advanced user yet but if i may ask for something: what are the wrong ways to start surfacing a concept sketch in its first stages or the wrong steps while making the curve network. like things you cannot do or things that could cuz u hard time in the advanced stages on a model ? Or how to shade and render a model in Alias? Thanx in advance even if my question didnt endup being picked. Regards
I have a different technique for this one.... I trim the parent fillets from the intersection and then use freeform blend tool at the other end to the point of the fillet intersection and try to match the iso ang to as close as it can get then try to align the fillets to it again so as to get the continuity on point..
I think I understand your approach. Are you able to get good continuity consistently? Would you be willing to share a file? I have tried a variety of methods and still looking for a consistent set up that is repeatable in a wide range of conditions. Getting good continuity, especially near the fillet intersection has been difficult for me.
Thanks for the excellent feedback. This was a fastener pocket and highly constrained for production tooling. I always share these with my team to show how certain areas were solved and why. Your correct, ideally I would have a single control surface along the edge as you suggested.
@@kevinr6236 The way I described it, is the way we do it in Class-A surfacing; you have one patch with edges like your two radii; the lenght of this patch defines your control how quick the washing out happens but as always there are several ways leading to Rome;)
Hello Kevin. I like your videos a lot. How you use application anf fine tune it towards speed in creation. Recently ive created a telegram channel Alias Automotive for sharing Tips and Tricks via small video previews. Join in you like. Id be happy to see you there!
Awesome! This is new to me. Let me figure out the email contact situation on RU-vid. I don't want my main emails to get spammed. I'm considering pointing people to LinkedIn for DMs with file links. Does that work for you? Can you post the file on Dropbox, Drive or similar and send me a link with a description of the issue that you want me to look at?
