Cleaning up a crude .stl model of an O2 to hopefully produce a good model of an O2

[Irinikus]

I put a few good hours into this model today!

Nothing like 3D modelling with a good cup of coffee!

Here's what it currently looks like:

Again this is the original model:

I managed to get some more work done on this model today: (Still a very long way to go!!!)

 

[Irinikus]

After doing the work shown above, Ive made a start on "normalising" the mesh of the front face of the machine: (This is taking hours to complete, and this image gives you some idea as to how i'm working to accomplish this)

It looks great!

It looks great!

Thanks Man!

I've just finished "normalising" the front of the mesh: (I'm pretty pleased with this result!!!)

Here's the current rendered output:

 

[Irinikus]

I've neatened up the front face even more:

I’d love to see this moulded/printed! Nice work!

Thanks Man!

I still have a long way to go here, as I still need to rework the inside of this model, as well as do final adjustments to get the mesh to be as smooth as possible!

 

[Irinikus]

Today I did a bit of work on the top right hand edge of the front face:

Then I messed around and gave it a bump texture and rendered it using the Cycles Render Engine just to see the result, and here it is:

The model is looking really good. Can't wait.

Anyone has the O2 Base..I will love to fix mine....the base is damage in the back!

The base was uploaded as part of the ZIP I shared on Feb 20th. The file for the base is O2_skins_skirt_v0.01.stl The file hasn't been skillfully cleaned up, like what Irinikus has been doing for the main body, but the file is complete and should be free of holes.

 

[Irinikus]

I've now made a start on the inside surface of the model: (What a mess!!!)

This is where I am with the cleanup:

Here's where I ended today:

 

[Grim.Black]

It's looking really good!

Wow! So cool, what you are doing man!
The perfect solution for the average O2 owners problems !

 

[Irinikus]

I managed to get around to doing some work on this model this morning, it's been quite a while!

 

[Jan]

I wonder why these models are in such a bad shape. They came out of the Inventor files of the IVView demo and they surely are an output of the real design data from the O2.

 

[Irinikus]

If you look at them in a wireframe mode in inventor, they appear to be the exact mashes I started with.

Somehow Inventor is able to take such a mesh and display it cleanly.

More cleaning up this morning: (This little bit of work took hours!)

The start:

Once cleaned up:
