I have a solid of a human head and I need to make a helmet which would fit around the upper /3 of it. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for how to go about doing this. Im really not sure which tools I could use without running into some serious issues, as its a complex shape. Thank you.
As any complex shape you just can’t solve it with a simple tool nor single tool.
Rhino it’s the right software for this task but probably you need to start from a simpler geometry.
An helmet isn’t good as first project.
In general the rules are:
Start from the main volume (eg. an ellipse)
Cut itx
Add more srfs to creare the details.
If you could share some images we can help you more.
