360 LIVE: Sculpt a Nunchuck Controller

[@learnitalready]

The number of different techniques explained in this tutorial are very helpful in thinking outside-the-box to create a highly controlled complex model. Thanks for producing this!

[@krakowmarcin4275]

Sculpting and T-Splines were until now a pure magic for me. Thanks Jamie for unraveling these tools - now it's time to go practice a bit (like the whole weekend for example ;))

[@adskFusion]

@Krakow- Yes, T-Splines can be fun to work with. Practice makes perfect!

[@arnaudlhorme7395]

Hi Jamie, it's the best video i've seen for the moment about Fusion 360. I've learned a lot, specially about SWEEP, MATCH, INTERSECTION CURVE, WELD, BRIDGE, FILLET, PATCH & SHELL. These tools are really convenient. For sure, all these tips will simplify my future modeling. Thanks a lot.

[@bwilliams1815]

This was very informative while not being overwhelming. Yhe ability to work in freeform and still go in and out of solid and surface modeling is truly great. It opens options that were closed in the past. Trying to retrain my thought process knowing this is available. Coming from Creo.

[@peter.stimpel]

Thanks a lot, Jamie. This was huge. I will have to watch this several times to understand the stuff half way. But hey, love it. If there was a video where you guys build such forms around other components you created using the "regular" workspace - out of sketches, extrusions and all the stuff, I would love it. Background: I was working on mechanics for a project. Now I need to create a nice housing to hide the mechanics. Meanhwile I can do quite good using the regular design stuff in fusion, but bringing this together with the forms stuff...Thanks guys, keep up the good work at your channel.

[@adskFusion]

@Peter- Yes, we will be adding more LiveStream topics like you described. if you haven't already, check out this material: f360ap.autodesk.com/courses/conceptual-modeling-fundamentals/lessons/lesson-1-basics-of-tsplines

[@iwasgroomed]

as someone who has trouble sitting down and watching a long video it helped to make time stamps that I can keep coming back to. This video is very good to learn with. Thank you

[@adskFusion]

Thank you so much!

[@Stoneylloyd]

Me likewise Jamie. Thank you, I found the whole thing fascinating and will have to watch it several more times to mirror the build. I'm sure it will take me ages but I'm going to do it as this now is the extension I've been looking for to take my solid modelling into more ambitious 3D printing. Brilliant delivery too with no flim flam!

[@jmescherer]

Thanks Lloyd, I have to consciously keep my flim flam under control :) Look forward to being back in a few weeks for more.

[@Bbittner5857]

This was the best hour I've spent on a tutorial in ages.

[@vegansynths7757]

This was an extremely informative very clear video. Thank you so much for the education!

[@adskFusion]

Glad you enjoyed it. Jamie is a really good teacher

[@halyenwe]

Thanks Jamie, really enjoyed this. You're very good at presenting Fusion 360. Hope to see more of you here.

[@adskFusion]

Thank you for the kind words. We hope to see more of him on the LiveStreams too!

[@GianlucaRolle]

Damn this is gold! I have never understood the create form tool! Thanks very much!

[@adskFusion]

Glad you found this useful!

[@dev_methods]

Thank you so much. These videos are incredibly helpful and well explained. Please please please keep these up! Super informative stuff.

[@adskFusion]

We plan to!

[@boldcautionproductions9203]

Superb share, thank you. I realize you used up all the time you had (with good stuff) but it would be interesting to see you add bosses, ribs, webbing, etc. in the Solid environment.

[@a1xon]

This T-Spline thing is huge. The models look so dynamic and organic. Unfortunately it needs a lot of practice to master that :/

[@adrianpaligar2026]

Thank you sir, I thought I'm never gonna use tspline until now. More power

[@alexhaws2377]

That was excellent, thank you!

[@aspendesign]

Thank you Jamie. That was very helpful and very well presented.

[@crossthreadaeroindustries8554]

Mind blown. Great share, thanks. Going to try this method for next bunch of designs.

[@patrickheung8816]

Hey Jamie, when I try to repeat your steps, I found that the way how to lay those sketches have pivotal effects on the success and failure of the result of the objects, hence, it would be great if you can show those steps of creating them before jump into demo how to use the "match" button.

[@patrickheung8816]

I have go through some other videos regarding intersection projection and got a thorough understanding on it, and made the object eventually. Thank you for your demonstration once again.

[@vivanndias2487]

@@patrickheung8816 I really really couldn't agree more with you on that. Could you please share the said videos and do me a good one?

[@3DCGdesign]

In case anyone has same problem, be sure you have the correct SWEEP tool dialog shown in the video at 19:00. First you must choose "create form", then choose sweep. If not, no joy.

[@adskFusion]

Sorry to hear that tripped you up! MANY THANKS for sharing this info with the rest of our KZbin fam.

[@3DCGdesign]

@@adskFusion This has revolutionized the sculpt tool for me, thanks for the video. I find the match curve tool still quirky because the "chain" option makes the splines I'm trying to match curves to get chained to other lines automagically in unexpected ways. But still, very helpful, thank you.

[@3DCGdesign]

Besides the shell command, and besides thickening your sculpt surface from within the sculpt form tool. What is the other way you can thicken your sculpt surface so that it is easily editable later? Choose "finish form" while the sculpt surface is still thin. Right-click the surface after it's made, then choose "thicken."

[@adskFusion]

Good suggestion.

[@HP-fs9nq]

Great video. Thank you for showing this technique to make precise curvy forms. Could you please show your workflow to sculpt a ‘heavy duty eye sling hook’ which is engineered with high curvature in both it’s front a side profiles.

[@jmescherer]

This could be a cool example for a future live stream. My gut reaction is this would be better designed in the Solid & Surface workspaces though.

[@JayRussellDuramax]

The way I prefer to make splines is to place points only where there is an inflection point on the curve, i.e., where, if you were following the spline and watching its coordinates in real time, one of the axes reaches its maximum or minimum value. In general, this will allow you to constrain the tangency handle to be horizontal/vertical, which makes shaping the spline much easier! This will also give you the minimum number of points necessary to define the shape of the spline. I hope this is helpful! This video sure was! Also, is there any way that the delete edge function (shown at 42:20) could be added to Surface modeling? In my last Surface modeling project, there were some faces that I needed to split for one command that I wanted merged back into one in the final design. To do this, I needed to sift through my timeline to right before they were split, do an Offset to duplicate them, Delete the split faces out of the final model in sections, Trim the Offset faces to fit, and then Stitch it all back together. The fact that I was able to do it at all was incredible! But, the process was quite tedious and had me wishing I could just delete the edges since I knew the faces were perfectly continuous to begin with.

[@JT-jy2sy]

Hi, it would be great if you could please include the photos of the controller so ppl can follow along like Brad's video.

[@lettynox_]

Very good video, taught me much. Good job!!

[@adskFusion]

Thanks!

[@anhHaisitinh]

hello, I'm try to follow all steps as in this video. but when it comes to "split body", error appears. if I check "extend splitting tools", it creates extra edges around the new surfaces of both bodies, and I couldn't shell the body. it said "the operation would cause a large topology change". if I don check "extend splitting tools", everything is fine. could you please explain why this error happens and when I should/shouldn't check "extend splitting tools". Thanks in advance

[@junkim7824]

Hi, Thank you for the useful tutorial. I was wondering where i can get the reference images? Thank you in advance :)

[@keldsor]

A very nice video just a the right time for me ! How com I can't see the subdivisions on the faces ... there is no black line here - why ?

[@jmescherer]

Keld - In the display options make sure you are modeling in "Shaded with Visual Edges" and not just "shaded". Shaded hides the edge display.

[@keldsor]

@@jmescherer Thx - that's it !

[@cmfbook]

Hi, just started to learn Fusion 360. Found your example and working through it but have a problem. The newer Fusion 360 version 2.0.9937 appears not to do Sweep the same way now. I did a Surface Sweep and it ended up creating a new surface alright, but without the capability to select number of faces as your tutorial shows. Is it possible?

[@alanegan8909]

@@adskFusion Hi there guys,did you guys ever get a chance to speak about sharing the files or something similar please?

[@rjlatheart]

For me this was not a 101 sculpt / t-spline project. Too much, to quick, way to much overlap. This was a great Video for someone with LOTS of experience, thanks for the exposure. This will have to be watched many times to get all that was presented.

[@alexhaws2377]

Disagree, I don't have tonnes of experience but I found it very easy to follow. If he had gone into more detail it would have taken all day!

[@adskFusion]

Fair point Rich! We've created some other content here: f360ap.autodesk.com/courses#product-design-and-development which might be more appropriate.

[@jmescherer]

@@alexhaws2377 Thanks for the feedback. I think you're both right...I tried to thread the needle and make it work for everyone. We can always slow down and get a bit deeper on an upcoming live stream!

The start of that stream was almost as if somebody called me to breathe heavily down the phone, then hung up 😳

[@jmescherer]

welp...well that's embarrassing. Nothing like the sound of you breathing to live forever on the internet. Next time I'll make sure to have better control over the mute button! For all else skip to 3:13 :)

[@davidfinlay8274]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO VERY , VERY MUCH. I wanted to start a fusion personal video library on t-spline . Please take it back to the basic. Tell use what are Vertex , faces and all the other about t-spline then show different was of making thing with t-spline so we can learn t-spline. This is one learning area that fusion is very weak . Autodesk but it so lest use it and make it strong like surface and other .

[@jmescherer]

Hey David - Thanks for the feedback. Maybe in an upcoming session we can focus more on the basics and a few different approaches for the same project.

[@3DCGdesign]

1. Anyone know which shortcut to use with the "edit form" multi-purpose tool to bridge or merge edges without going to those specific tools? Did that get removed? I could swear it was shown in the original set of sculpt tutorials on Fusion 360 website, but now I cannot locate them anywhere and I can not get it to work. With alt-drag of the "edit form" tool you get a new edge created, but there was a way to grab and drag two edges to bridge/merge to two other edges while keeping the "edit form" tool active an not need to select the bridge tool. 2. Also, copy-paste of your body does not allow you to create multiple versions, it's a copy of the body as if it were a component. Any changes to the original also happen to the copy.

[@adskFusion]

I'm not sure I follow what you mean in part 1. To bridge/merge see these options: www.dropbox.com/s/uqhkfmdv8njt5is/Merge.png?dl=0 For part 2 I think you want to instead copy and paste new a component (if you want it to be independent). knowledge.autodesk.com/support/fusion-360/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Paste-vs-Paste-New-in-Fusion-360.html

@@adskFusion Yes, I knew about the other tools for bridging, but I could have sworn there was a way to use the "edit form" tool to accomplish similar. Thanks for your reply.

How to do multiple shell thickness sir

The shell command doesn't have multiple inputs, but what I would do is shell a common thickness and then use Press Pull with the "New Offset" type and change the unique faces in a second operation.
