The E3 is taking shape nicely. I already had a ’70s BMW finned alloy wheel, so I threw those on—same wheels I had on my Bavaria. #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

Screenshot from SketchUp of work in progress on a 1:64-scale 3D model of a 1970s BMW Bavaria sedan. Rendered in Fjord (pale silver-blue) and seen from a front-3/4 angle, most of the shape of the body is complete, though the rear window and trunklid are still missing. The windshield and side windows have been modeled into the greenhouse and the hood is fully detailed, but most other details, including bumpers, grilles, and lights, are still missing. Wheels and tires have been put into place; the wheels are 21-spoke BMW alloys from the mid- to late 1970s.

What a lovely, simple form #WeirdCarMastodon #164scale #3dModeling

Screenshot from SketchUp of work in progress on a 1:64-scale 3D model of a 1972 BMW Bavaria sedan, rendered in Fjord (pale silver-blue) and seen from a front-3/4 angle. The vertical surfaces of the body below the beltline have been modeled, but not yet detailed.

Anyway, the tricky G2-continuous shape is now on the tool wall. It's a tray for this dual tape dispenser. (It absolutely did not need to be G2-continuous. I just wanted to play.)

A 3D printed tray is hanging on an IKEA SKADIS pegboard. It has an amorphously shaped cutout for a tape dispenser. The tray is blue with a gold ring around the cutout. It it attached to the pegboard with two hooks.

Fooling around a bit with Dyntopo (dynamic topology) in Blender's Sculpt Mode, this gargoyle-like head emerged. Don't know if I'm going to finish it, but I kinda like it so far.

I made a relatively simple thing that brings Fusion 360 to its knees. As in, every change, no matter how trivial, takes over a minute to recompute.

It's the outline shown above, extruded and filleted, then chamfered around the top edge. It ran fine until the chamfer. F360 can't calculate the chamfer directly; I had to do nonsense with a tapered extrusion.

Today is G2 continuity day! I learned this morning that Fusion 360 can do G2 continuous fillets, and I needed to model this anyway...

According to the color map (right image), the fillets are G2 to the bottom, but the small fillet isn't G2 to the sides. And the corners are awful. I don't know what to do about those.

If you think this is going to be another Gridfinity bin, you're close but not right.

13/N

A sketch in Fusion 360 shows a shape with for curved sides. Each side has a curvature comb showing that the curvature is smooth. The shape is covered with dimensions to fix all the spline control points.

A 3D rendering from Fusion 360 shows that the shape from the sketch has been used to create a cutout in a block. The block is shaded with a curvature map (the color shows the local degree of curvature). The colors transition smoothly except at the corners where fillets meet.
