Trying to make a more smooth piece
Trying to make a more smooth piece
(OP)
Hey guys, so I am a working on a helmet and need to add to it an ear cup (I guess its called that). But I cant seem to figure out how to pull it off. I linked some pictures below, as you can see it is more robotic looking and not naturally flowing. So if anyone has a way to do that please let me know. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks guys.
Pictures 1 & 2 are how the design looks and picture 3 is what I want it to look like. I want it to basically start sloping up slowly but gradually by the ear part then come down at the top. I hope i explained that well. I also uploaded the part file if you would like to check it out for yourself or see how I did anything. Thanks once again guys.

I cannot get your file, because its asking for me to create an account. Can you post the file on something like https://www.dropbox.com/ that when you share the folder, those connecting don't have to login?

SBaugh - if you click slow download it let you download it for free without registering.
I will also look into those features thanks for the suggestions.
Eltron - I tried to do the surface fill but I cant seem to get the fill on the curved surface. Like when I do it I get a floating part. I'm trying everything possible to make it merge together.

you can trim the surface to whatever opening suits your fancy, I shot for something vaguely ear shaped, and add a 3d sketched spline as a constraint so you can go back and tweak the curvature of the fill to your liking. Then just knit and thicken the model as you already had.
RE: Trying to make a more smooth piece
I really want to thank you guys also for all the help. This is my first post and I must admit you guys are great people in a great community.
