efilana Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hello guys! Can you help me create this shape in 3ds Max? I need the purple curve to be extruded along the pink curve. How do I do that? I am not sure that picture is rendering, but basically it would be imitation of Rhino command "extrude along the curve" Thanks Efilana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Beaulieu Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Try the sweep modifier.... there is an option to use a custom profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvador Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Try the sweep modifier.... there is an option to use a custom profile. Indeed, also make sure your purple curve's pivot is located at the vertex where both curves meet and that it's aligned to the plane that the purple curve is describing. . . now sweep away !

efilana Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hey guys, thanks for your help. I was able to sweep, and I loved that you can control path, this is great. however, I ran into this issue: my exit profile (the purple one) was different then the initial purple curve. Can I control that one, too? I would like to have a shape that has both profiles the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salvador Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Try toggling "banking" checkbox, it might as well be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
