Sweep Patches

Sweep Patches. Generic swept surfaces consist of 2 or more curves joined end-to-end. In NURBS modelling they are called U,V pairs. The quality of surface is determined by bounding lines. Surface created by uniformly deform one curve to another. Products With Sweep Surfaces.

  9. Differentiate sweep forms from blobs Created by the meeting of two different planes or surfaces May be positive or negative, but has more inherent 'integrity' than a feature line Persistent elements, dominate the form even after filleting Effective carrier of meaning and emotion The edges where sweep patches meet in CAD Crease Lines

  10. Voluminous Form • Compare the forms in terms of • Useable volume: Most of the internal space can be used to house mechanisms • Stance: Viewers look from the ‘best-looking' side

  11. Virtual Edges • Family of curves add dynamism to forms • There are times when it is not possible to place curves on a product form • Curves can be ‘drawn’ on near flat surface as high-lights by bending the surface Desktop audio by barouche DePadova by Xavier Lust

  12. Highlights • Highlights are areas of a surface that reflect major light source to the viewer • Compare with planar, cylindrical or ruled surfaces, glossy sweep surfaces produce smaller and more dynamic, flowing highlights • The more pronounce a sweep surface is, the more complicate the highlights will be

  13. The background reflection is intensified by double curvature of sweep surface

  14. Face-breaking Edge enhancement

  15. Relax surface Taut surface

  17. Voluminous Form • Transfer the curve family to a 150X150X150 foam cube • The new form should be able to house a cube 100X100X100 big • Make good use of the 25 thick zone
