Join George Maestri for an in-depth discussion in this video Patch-based surfaces, part of Introduction to 3D.
- Modeling with patches usually means…taking a curve or multiple curves…and turning that into a surface.…Now there are many ways to do this.…Let's take a look at some of the more popular methods.…The first method we're going to take a look at…is called a revolve or a lathe.…What this does is it basically takes a shape…and it revolves it around an axis to create a surface.…Here I have a simple shape,…and if I revolve that, or lathe it,…you can see that I can create a bell shape.…
Now this operation basically just takes that shape,…and it twists it around an axis to create the surface.…So as you can see we're just adding additional dimensions.…Another common way is to use…multiple curves to create a surface.…Here I have three curves,…and these can be combined to create a surface…using what's called a loft.…The loft basically stretches a surface…along these curves.…
So these basic curves here define the surface.…If I adjust the curves I can also adjust the surface.…One more way to create surfaces…is to use what's called an extrude.…
