I'm an ESTIA student in Bachelor of engineering in Biarritz, France and I had a modelling 3D test. The subject was to do a complex model with the tool : GENERATIVE SHAPES DESIGN. I had a dream : design the TIE INTERCEPTOR ship. With very few experience (only tutorials) in generative shapes design I started working on that for my exam. The time was limited (few weeks). I started by printing the blueprint, measuring all geometrics and then reproducing the TIE. Little by little I was enjoying more and more designing each of the details that were more and more precise. I success the exam and I obtained the best grade. I make this first model in 2 weeks beside my classes in Bachelor. At the end of the first space ship, I asked myself "But this model don't have any curve or splines, am I able to design a space ship with only curves and spline ?" So I challenged myself and I made the second space ship (NABOO N1) to prove to me that I was able to design anything from blueprints only. For this ship I figured out that the printing of blueprint was useless, and thanks to the 3DEXP tool SKETCH TRACER I placed different view in the design space. I publish this work in the night of the famous may 4th (star wars day). Coincidence? I think not !;) I practice modelling on Catia v6 and 3DExp for 1 year and a half and I made great progress, I want to launch my 3Dexp tutorials youtube channel soon. I want to do my job in the 3D model world.
