Blender 3D Lofting with Curves Video Demo
Someone needed help, so I offered this video screen capture demo of how to create decent lofts in Blender 3D.
1. Create Bezier Curve (loftbase)
2. Create Bezier Circle (loftprofile)
3. Create 2nd Bezier Curve (lofttaper)
(rename them appropriately if you like)
For loftbase, add loftprofile as the BevOb, and lofttaper as TaperOb. Then move around control points as needed.
Explore adding lattice, and using 3D paths instead of curves.
