Hi,
I’m not a very good or experienced 3D artist, but something I’ve been struggling with is how to create this sort of rolled/scalloped edge on the side of a cuboid.
The artwork looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/fD1PmVZ
My attempt is: https://imgur.com/a/grk16u4
I used a torus to boolean out the cut, then married it up with a bevel, but had to tweak a lot of the verticies. Topology is terrible, and it’s not in the right place.
Is there a way to do this non destructively, or if not just so it’s accurate and reasonably controllable?
Thanks.
You can try using bevel modifier with a custom profile.
but I think much better result will give you boolean modifier with an object to cut out:

The capsule boolean creates a concave shape, I need it to be convex though. Also the detail on the ridges isn’t important, that can be normal maps - I just want to create the shape accurately…
Hey @burgernz ,
You can do it non-destructively using vertex groups and 2 bevel modifiers:
Here’s the Blend file. The size of the end scallop shape is changed by sliding the upper ( it’s already selected in edit mode) loop. Easiest to move and see the result.
The fancy ridges will, as you mentioned, need to be normal mapped.

Amazing! Thank you so much. I need to learn more about vertex groups!
