Devising the strategy for an ovolo curve

“

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to take our first opportunity to combine a lot of the techniques that we've discussed throughout the course so far. So all of the various things that we've been working on independently we can bring them together to solve a single problem now. So we're going to do something fairly simple. We're going to create an Ovolo Molding Profile. Now this is going to employ the techniques that we've talked about in previous videos, like constraining arcs to make sure that they flex properly, building geometry from profiles, so using a profile family in our sweeps rather than sketching it, and using formulas and trigonometry to help drive the shapes of those profiles and make more complex forms. So we're going to wrap it all together into this one exercise. So let's go ahead, and in this video I'm going to outline the strategy. So we're going to kind of look at what an ovolo is and what the challenges involved in creating one are, and then how we're going…
