SERIES: FROM BOX
PATTERN: 01

2. + Draw three control point
curves
- Direction along Y-axis
+ Copy three curves in Z
direction
+ Prepare Bottom and Top
curves
- 1,2 & 3 to Bottom Curve
- 4,5,& 6 to Top Curve
+ Loft Surface
- using default options
+ Select the opposite edge
curves
- select the edges
- select one of the
opposite curves
- orient the curves in same
direction
2

3. + Create Geodesic Curves
- Divide the curves
- Create Geodesic Curves
using loft surface
+ Divide the Geodesic
Curves
+ Moving the points in x
direction in half of the
distance between the
points in that direction
- Each of the points are
numbered 0, 1,2 & 4 of the
curves
+ Do it for the Top
geodesic curves too
- it look like this
+ Create mid points
between bottom and top
points
3

4. + Flip the points
+ Select the points
alternatively
- 1 & 3 will be selected
+ Now we will have all the
bottom, top and middle
points
- Now we have to work on
the bottom and top points
+ Flip the Bottom points
and Cull it alternatively
- do the same for top also
+ Select the last branch
from the cull tree of
Bottom points
4

5. + Create interpolate Curve
through points selected
between Bottom and mid
- select the mid points and
remove the last branch
- insert the mid points to
bottom points
+ Create interpolate Curve
through points selected
between Top and mid
- select the mid points and
remove the first branch
- insert the mid points to
top points
+ Final Interpolate Curves
- Bottom Curve
- Top Curve
+ Loft Surface
- using default options
+ Remove the last
repeated surface
5

6. + Manipulate the control
curves done at initial stage
+ Modify the control
division curves
