triglyph Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'm doing a design proposal for an "Avatar" type motion capture/greenscreen room. I can draw the room well enough, but I'm not sure what is the best way to draw the curved cyc wall. It would be a framed wall that curves as it meets the floor -- a cyclorama or sweep as it is sometimes called. Should I draw a line and extrude it? It needs to be a three wall cyc, so making it turn corners is the thing that's really got me baffled. Also, I want the front wall of the studio to be a glass screen (for tours): I'm guessing a curtain wall is the way to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencaz Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Here is a simple example: If you already made the profile and extruded the screen you can also sweep that profile along an arc perpendicular to your profile. Change your UCS to draw the arc to sweep. Then thicken your surface to create a solid. Then you can offset the arc and create another surface to be used as a slicing plane.

Pablo Ferral Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Or you could create a floor, extrude the wall and then fillet the meeting edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triglyph Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Many thanks for your feedback. I'm going to try them when I get back to the computer. Changing the UCS is not something I've done before, but I think I can figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
