Created in Blender - I'll be adding some prototype car to this later

Need some sort of roundiness between the spoke and the rim. Something like the real rim, anyways, it look good.

hmm I'll have to look into how to do that.... as the spokes and the rim are not the same mesh - although they have been 'joined' ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
So the results is that it is kinda easy to do it.

Actually the spokes have 64 vertices round them and the spot they hit the rim has 2 .... so no it's NOT going to an easy thing.

NOTE for all method:The rim must be 1/(The amount of spokes) of 360 and duplicated with the neccessary angle rotation.
Meh, boolean union and then split and connect to the vertex, and then bevel. That how I'd do it in Maya.
Another method is to split, create a shape of the circle, and extrude faces, and bevel later.
Another method is to use NURBS and make the spokes and circular rim area and then circular fillar, and convert to polygon.
Another method is to use boolean, split ring tool, and scale the vertex.
Pretty much 4 out of the 6 methods in Maya. I think you can do three of those in Blender.

my method is faster than 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6. and about the same speed as 2..
my method is actually simple. I create a tube move it - duplicate it ... and rotate it ... I create a cylinder outside of those - and I shape it. the center is usually a cylinder with sides = to the number of spokes.

Hhhmm, k. Didn't know about the tube part, I did know that they have it on Maya, just didn't mention. Revolve Tool just revolves and makes thing faster. It not about how fast you go, it about how you take your time.

I have tried doing a rim that way - but when I connect all the 'separate parts' and then tell it to smooth - it leaves huge 'bumpiness' where I connected the parts together - so I almost have to make the outer rim as a tube in order that it will be smooth for the rendering version.

I decided I'm going to redo the frame -0- totally hit me at work today why I didn't think it looked right - new version coming to night! - hopefully I'll get that done and be able to get some of the interior components started.

Thanks for the fav - but this is far from done and what you see is 'getting updated' as I realized why I don't think it looks right.

Thank you, (you've already seen the start of the project it is for)

I have 4 of them and a frame now

alright then - have u tried blender 2.46 - i looked at it some & did a little , then
i thought "what about this cloth" - i hadn't used any cloth of any app - the
results of my first "very good" - in minutes , it took to do "oh .. cool" -
also i didn't know how to do soft bodies neither ~`...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I haven't up dated to 2.46 (current on my system is 2.54 RC2)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well , alright - get one just 2 try out - (am i wrong or can one run two different versions at once ??) - well , maybe u will look in to it ~`...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, under linux you can if you have them installed into separated file systems. Uh, let me explain that -- if you install the original into the normal root filesystem and have the icon on the system tray and basically a 'normal' package install - Then you can install a second version (usually an older version as the normal install will auto update with everything else you have normally installed) into a 'faked' filesystem in your home folder by adding the proper filesystem names as if it was in the root filesystem.

alright - did u read about it then ? - that cloth , gotta love it - i know i'm
going on about it - so far i've done 3 !yay! - ok .. i know , big whoopy
it is cool though - i guess i should look at some other features
but why
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can do the cloth with my current version
I have to say the whole soft body under the 'game engine' is REALLY cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
do u mean use soft bodies for cloth ? or u have a actual cloth ? - there is
pre-sets in the new one `cotton `silk ` denim ` leather `rubber and custom
to set ur own i take it - haven't used game engine , don't really know how -
2.46 cloth is fairly "easy" & straightforward - the results R cool
i put up one render but doesn't show it off very well ~`...

The old one you have to set the numbers to create the difference.
I'm not sure why my system hadn't updated to that automatically...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah , alrite - i thought it would B some number setting with this one (yes ,it is
if u do more , i guess ) - well , get one & put it on any comp just to try it ~`...

I have updates available - HOPEFULLY it's blender and YafRay updates (YafRay is supposed to have updates available..too)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well , can't u just get one - like i did on windy's ? ~`...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably - I'll put up an image tonight with a link to some testing I did with soft body,

i think maybe it needs a bit more light, coz u cant really see much detail, apart from that, i like it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm building a car to go with the tires - the light will be increased in order that all can be seen
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
cool. i cant wait to see it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Can't wait to work on it

Looks great... brand new and ready to be put on a car!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah! I was going to remake the 100 spoke, but decided this would be more suited for the car I've got designed in my head ...

I've had a design in my head for some years, might try to make it 'real'

Exactly what I was thinking
