logix1390 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hello So I am trying to create an oval shape like the image below..I created the general shape but now I just need to smooth the curve properly..Not sure how this is done in Houdini. The way I modeled out the oval is probably not the cleanest way as well. I created a circle and transformed the end points on the x axis to create the elongated effect. If anyone has any thoughts on how I can do this procedurally, that would be amazing. I feel like this shouldn't be as hard as I am making it seem. I will attach my scene file for anyone who wants to take a look. Thank you. oval_modeling.hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
