Surface Modeling in Autodesk Fusion [UPDATED!]

Model a bottle using surfacing techniques in Autodesk Fusion. Follow Simon as he shows you how to convert a hand-drawn concept into a dynamic 3D bottle with the core surfacing tools available in Fusion: the Canvas, Calibration, Edit Form, Split Body, Patch & Stitch tools.
Follow along with this tutorial by downloading the original concept sketch Simon uses to model his bottle: autode.sk/41woJAm

Amazing! More surfacing videos please.

[@markg1531]

A nice simple way of doing this. Thanks.

[@martinmillson1204]

Great Video Simon - Now i know what form is used for!

[@TheKromside]

very good video!! thanks a lot

[@douglass69]

Nice, this gave me some ideas.

[@tribuiduc564]

Can you develop these features?
- Turning machine simulation
- Add more axis in 3d CAM ..eg w axis on horizontal boring milling machine
- Movement or joint and animation of the rope/wire/routing created by pipe command
- Flatten and Wrap surface
- Bending Multiple Bodies (similar feature Lattice Rig/Bend Rig/Twist Rig/Conform Rig in Autodesk Alias)
- Draw sketches on the STL/OBJ mesh surface
One idea I would like is that you can enable 5-axis toolpath creation and simulation in the free or personal versions, and you can lock the G-code export function (only G-code export is possible when paying for Manufacturing extensions), this could help more people gain access to the CAM technology that Fusion offers and tend to think about being willing to pay for the right features.

5-axis tool path suppose to be back. I bought the license for that very reason. Now is taken away. Should I asked for a refund? I have spent money and time to rebuild my CNC table to be 5- axis. Now I can not use it or experiment with it to see how it works. I am retired hobbyist and inventor. it might take long time before it would be profitable. How I suppose to learn Fusion if access is shut. All of the above are desirable features and lots of more.

Is this a reupload of your surface modeling tutorial from 7 years ago?

[@muddasarakram419]

Yep.

[@adskFusion]

Hi Agreeable, it is indeed! We thought it would be important to replicate some of our popular videos with the updated look and feel of Fusion ☺

[@Te4mUp]

So buggy....

[@MrJdorrington]

Most people interested in developing their surfacing skills would have stumbled across this bottle being modelled before ( and excellently!) in another video. Come on Autodesk, you can do better.

[@Mankey1234]

Sure, but that UI is 7 years old. If you're new and learning surfacing (like me) it's nicer to have the UI reflect what's on my screen. The process was good before, so refreshing it makes sense.

[@d1o2n4]

@@Mankey1234Good point.

[@kingsidorak]

The audio is EXTREMELY LOW. This video needs to be taken down, and reuploaded with fixed audio, or not at all.

[@jerrymk6846]

it’s not

[@stowlo]

It isn’t. Turn up your volume lol.

[@timp2433]

No problems

[@timd9430]

Get new ears.

[@timp2433]

Fusion is so bumbling and slow at this compared to the Plasticity workflow. Someone who knows what they are doing in Plasticity could have made 20 of those models in the time it would take to make one on 'Frankenstein Fusion'.
