Thanks homie - cool insights here. Going from literally nothing (no scan, no sketches) is a critical skill to succeed in industry. Appreciate you putting this together!
10X! Man...your videos really helped me to have a different/better approach in modeling with ALIAS, even if I still am at "cool shit" stage :))...we are very lucky to have guys like you on RUclips...
Wow! Man! Thanks a lot for your cool video!!! You make my morning and I definitely get inspired !!! gonna open my Alias now and start more and more practising as you said! I like the way how you show it controlling of surfacing and to keep that in mind! Thanks once more and cheers mate! and b.t.w nice spaceship :)
Impressively helpful and thanks for sharing. Extremely useful information and tips, especially for someone like myself who is so used to keep a tape in hand and keep measuring every single dimension. I've been struggling exponentially on anything that involved free form modelling.
Bro. you really are my saviour. quick question I have, does Alias have a thickness option on surface like solidworks or fusion 360? If you model a car side mirror cuz the housing is mostly injection molded, how do you go about with alias since you can do complex surfacing on it keeping in mind the manufacturability and tolerances? im good in solidworks as a junior industrial designer but i want to transition into automotive modeling for production I still use the student versions but i am building a portfolio and preparing myself for an opportunity that may come in the future. what format can I export the surface body for 3D printing or to solidworks or other cad to add thickness or mold cavities for cnc n injection molding?
Another great video! Do you think you could build clean high quality surface off of subD modeled mesh? Or would you say it is faster to do everything straight in alias?
Laci Lacko that’s hard to answer because with live bolean functions, like mesh Fusion inside of modo, you can get good results. Mathematically speaking, nurbs will always have more control and be cleaner. Even though I am a huge fan of sub D modeling, I am so used to the hyper control with nurbs, I rather go straight to Alias.
At 3:28 you selected single lines from a polyline ,and then editing it,how did u do this,when I select it always select the whole curve network,due to this I can't edit,how do you do this
Can i ask a quick question? how do you model using symmetry ? Is the layer on symmetry or symmetry align tool? the thing is you must have a hotkey assigned or smth cuz I dont see you doing it on every curve ., as in you dont Object, duplicate it :(. Thaks! Really enjoy your vids man, real helpful stuff! :)
Anon yeah theirs layer symmetry on, just enable it, right click and hold the mouse button down and enable symmetry, you can also find it under the layer menu on the toolbar.
Awesome! Short question: Why do you rebuild your curves to degree 3 when setting up your lines in the beginning? Would it not be easier to use degree 2 curves since they are even easier to control ? I see that you use a hotkey for rebuild to degree 3 as well. Thanks
Woah awesome modeling skills! I wold like to ask something.I was modeling cars in 3D max since i was kid but now i want to learn Alias.. So which alias is the best for car design.I starting to learn Alias Surface.Which Alias you use for modeling your vehicles?
Really thanks for your tutorials. but i have a question. For Class A surfacing, we should start like this? or completely should model in different way from beginning?
Josef Ludvík Böhm it’s a valid workflow. It really depends on the company. I myself have done polygon modeling inside of car studios. Personally I prefer to go straight to nurbs.
Bro can you please make a detailed video on the curve network making and editing,I'm new to this software , can't find any video on this,the detailed video till 11 minutes of your work of this video,I'm unable to select single line from a poly line and then edit , problems like this are troubling me
@@HandleBar3D bro are you on Instagram,so that I can be in touch,it's been very different for me to learn, because I can't find any source for education,no one teach properly,and there is no one to clear my doubt.
Abhishek Thakur my Instagram is hb_3d but to be honest I don’t have the time to respond to all those asking me questions. This is why I make these videos.

Ken concepts Alias isn’t really a solid modeler like fusion and solid works but it can creat closed volumes that can be printed. It’s just not very quick. To do it in Alias you basically have offset the surfaces, then fix any offset error to make sure it’s closed, then surfaces the sides to make it a closed volume, then you make it a shell. I myself almost never have had to do this, but when I do I surface in Alias, export the surfaces as iges, nd use Rhino to make it solid and give it thickness. Just remember Alias isn’t really made for that and in terms of my career work, I can’t remember doing that more than like two three times in my 9 years.
You are the best tutorial maker out there. No one comes close. Thanks so much man.

Probably the best tutorials out there for Alias. Much appreciated @HandleBar3D please keep them coming!
You’re very welcome, I’m glad these are helping you.
Thanks a lot man, you shown me a clear view to start a model. Before this I over done curves and stopped my works without completing.
Wow! Man! Thanks a lot for your cool video!!! You make my morning and I definitely get inspired !!! gonna open my Alias now and start more and more practising as you said!

God bless there are people like you! Massive thanks to you. I want to kill Rhino now. Catia looks to complex. Alias is a MUST.
Come on. You are just stupid! Catia is for kids. =) Be like Newey use a drawing board =)
Thank you so much for doing this, you did such an excellent job explaining your logic and thought process, so much to learn from you!
I'm definitely going to learn a lot from you!
thank you so much for your video, you truly are a master of nurbs surfacing
Pedozzi you’re welcome, thanks for the nice words

is there a shortcut to toggle the entire interface on and off? I have to manually reopen all the windows to obtain a clean workspace. thank you

At 39:40 in the video the most interesting thing happens which you almost never see in tutorials: How to fix an error!
Thanks for your videos😍😍😍
What tool are you using to move the surfaces?
Awesome!
Short question:
Why do you rebuild your curves to degree 3 when setting up your lines in the beginning? Would it not be easier to use degree 2 curves since they are even easier to control ? I see that you use a hotkey for rebuild to degree 3 as well.
Thanks
mo pe two degrees is a too little for my liking. With three I can control the radius and lead in more.
Woah awesome modeling skills! I wold like to ask something.I was modeling cars in 3D max since i was kid but now i want to learn Alias.. So which alias is the best for car design.I starting to learn Alias Surface.Which Alias you use for modeling your vehicles?
Mihael Merkler Alias Surface is the one I use and recommend
Thanks man :)
Hey, Ray. Thanks for great sharing.
About the edit point curve you are using, what kind of knot spacing is it, Uniform or chord?
Piao Rou I use chord but I don’t think it really matters with my workflow, since I tend to start with one degree and add cvs later
Thank you for sharing this
Really thanks for your tutorials. but i have a question.
For Class A surfacing, we should start like this? or completely should model in different way from beginning?
This is definitely class A oriented. I work in class A all the time and it’s the same theory.
@@HandleBar3D wow thats really help. please please upload more videos.really thank you for all of your videos
please tell me what type of alias are you using , design -surface - automotive ? and what are the differences between them ?
I am using Autostudio but you can accomplish this with surface as well. Design is basically useless with my style of modeling
Hello Ray: what grade of blend curves do you use to connect after extending the 3 grade Cv curves?
Claudio Monterrubio their usually 5 degree with g2 curvature
Woudnt it be easier/faster to find shapes in polygons and polishing them afterwards in nurbs?
Josef Ludvík Böhm it’s a valid workflow. It really depends on the company. I myself have done polygon modeling inside of car studios. Personally I prefer to go straight to nurbs.
appreciate!!
Do you make a car with that method?
To Ma yes, I always model like this.
CHEESUS YOU BIRRING
