Hi sorry if this is the wrong place to create this.

Just getting started using shapr . I was trying to create I barrel tried different ways I found a couple of other tutorials not for shapr. But I haven’t been able to recreate it in shapr doesn’t anyone have a link to tutorial or description of how to do it

Thanks

You are in the right place… a couple tools come to mind. First, what kind of “barrel”?

Revolve or loft could work for almost any barrel.

Thank you so much for a extremely quick response. It is for my son who wants a chug jug from fornite but instead of just copying a project I want to learn how to do it.

First image: barrel profile to “revolve”. Bear with me I’ll make some images to help.

Then “revolve” that.
Then select top surface and use the “shell” tool.

Then duplicate it and move duplicate to the side with the “move” tool.

I made a mistake by using the shell on the second barrel… I’ll show you why next

12

I move 2nd barrel into 1st barrel for subtracting.

Use the subtract tool with “keep all” bodies. I am not going to shell second barrel until I use the fillet tool first.

I learn by teaching. Selfish of me.

You modeling is only as good as your sketch. This was quick so a bit dirty. But gives you a working method. Hopefully others will pitch in and point out better methods and then we all learn.

I don’t make videos, I’m a bit shaky from nerve damage in the neck… not quick or pretty.

Thank you again so nice of you

Sorry but subtract part is killing my have to fiddle a little bit with that because unto ending up with spmeplile you

Make sure you have it set to “keep all bodies” in the subtract to make it easier IMO. Make sure 1 barrel is + and the other barrel is -

Doing that you will end with 3 parts, one of which can be deleted.
