Create relief

[sofia]

Hi all,

I would like to make a relief of a train (ona flat surface). I have started to create a sketch of the outlines of each component of the train. I guess the easiest way would be to extrude the different components and then use the fillet command for the edges. However, I think the nicest would be to use the loft command to create a more smooth all-over bend of relief. Im not quite sure how to create the lofts, also the train is drawn in perspective so it would be nice with the front being slightly higher raised than the back. Another challenge is to get a curved detail to follow the shape of the train from the top to bottom. Please see attached image of the kind of look of the relief that I am hoping to achieve.

Kind Regards,

Sofia

Cool challenge. Well, I think you can create this one with extrudes, drafts, and fillets, this could be a short way, maybe. Of course, with loft, you could make it. My recommendation is you should try the fastest and easiest way, if you do not see the result that you want, then try with loft.

True, better checking the easy route first!
