cassius Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a lathe or revolve function in Blender 2.5? I am trying to model a wooden bow shaped barrel.

Niosop Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Yes, there is. Look at the Spin button on the left when in edit mode. Using that with a curve or series of points should give you what you want. If you need to be able to see the inside, add and apply a Solidify modifier to it afterwards.

Niosop Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Oh, one other thing you might have to do is merge verts/remove doubles on the edges that connect when you do a 360 degree spin. Also, you may need to remove interior edges along that portion to allow for proper normal calculation.

cassius Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks folks I will give it a try. Its easy to do in Silo or ac3d but I am studying Blender cos I like the challenge of its somewhat obscure envoirement.
