Basler Zolli Gala Dinner 2010 Making Of

Here we go, let's get some content...This was a production I made with Konnex for the Zoo Basel, i modeled an elephant and a penguin and prepared 2D cutting data for the waterjet. Finaly the models got assembled. They are up to 2 meters long ;)



The workflow started with a low poly model I made out of a plane, then I added some Z-Brush, 3D-Coat magic for the sculpting, finaly I created a Grasshopper nodesystem in Rhino that helped me to make the slices and the 2D layout for cutting the parts out. Enjoy :)

NURBS filetransfer between Rhino and 3DS Max using npower PowerTranslators

Often you want to fix NURBS surfaces or use tools that are available in external software. The ideal partner for this kind of work is npower's PowerTranslators. Using this plugin you can transfer NURBS Date between Rhino (or IGES/STL compatible programs) and 3DS Max.

Rhino Pipeblending Tip

Here a method of using the pipe tool to make exact splits/trims to use for blending surfaces.



This method works a lot faster than using lofted curves to make the same.

How to make 3D outlines for lasercutting robots using Rhino

This Video is about creating Outlines of 3D Surfaces to generate a coordinate base for a lasercutting 3D robot using Rhino.



The solution is quite easy but you have to figure that one out first ;)

I have a customer who needed help and I made this video for him.
