In this lesson we will learn about revolving curves to create a surface in XSI.
Revolving curves is a neat way to create many mechanical or manufactured surfaces, such as cups, pipes, nails, candles, tires. Try revolving a curve the next time you need anything cylindrical in shape!
Topics covered in this video:
Drawing curves using the Draw Cubic by CV’s tool
Revolving those curves around a specific axis
Modifying the surface by setting various properties
Tweaking the curves to further modify the surface’s shape
Freezing the Operator Stack to keep the revolved objects after deleting the creation curveDirect Link to Tutorial: http://www.digitaltutors.com/digital_tutors/video.php?v=606
