    Posted by Pravin Chottera on January 22, 2015 at 6:05 am

    Hi all,

    I can’t seem to figure out how to model the object below.

    I could try doing some hypernurbs modeling, but is there a way to do it with deformers?

    As always, appreciate everyones help. Thanks all!

    If you’re using R16 I would use the new “preserve curvature” function of the Slide Tool. This video should be self explanatory, except when sliding the edge loops you need to hold down Ctrl/Cmnd while dragging to create new loops.

    If you’re not using R16 I would probably create a cube primitive with sufficient Y subdivisions and make it editable. Then I’d create a spline curve to use as a guide and use spline snapping to move the front points to the desired shape.

    Soft Selection in scale is good too.
