lasershows Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Does anyone have a 3d football in dxf or dwg format? I am making a project of a robotic guy that has a ball at his feet, I can draw the guy but struggling with a perfect wireframe football.

CarlB Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 c'mon, give it one more try I made a not so good-looking footbal in 2 minutes by drawing an arc, connecting endpoints, make the shape a "region", "revolve" about the axis. For a wireframe you could start with an arc, use "revsurf" to create surface. Set SURFTAB1 to a number (> 10) to give you desired definition.

lasershows Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Carl, Thanks for the advice but the football I need should be made from hexagons not arcs, a football in the traditional sence. if it was not 3d i could manage but making the sphere perfect is way over my ability and then getting these polygons to all meet together is actually very hard to do. Can you do this? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scj Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 have a look at http://plus.maths.org/issue27/features/mathart/index.html in the middle part there is a football too... regards Jochen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUS Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 See in here.. http://www-c.inria.fr/Eric.Saltel/download/affichage.php?dir=SPORTS/&name=Soccer Not tested by me.. I use Cinema4D and I have a soccer ball in my home pc If you still looking for one I can uploaded later for you. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lasershows Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 hi gus, do you have a 3d version of a soccer ball? just its wire frame/model, I am really stuck and this project is likely a one off not needing to totally learn how to use autocad and lisp. Can cinema4d export to dxf? what version are you using. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
