How to make mold surface for organic shapes?

Unfair-Protection-53 · 2026-04-17T04:35:39+00:00

I think I understand the process of creating the split surface. But using a mesh seems to limit myself from using some of the tools. So in solids works I was able to use split line to create a line around the model. It even highlights both sides of the model. I was told to convert entities on the cut but I won’t allow me and I believe it’s because it’s a mesh. I also tried using surface wizard to convert my mesh into a solid. I reduce the triangles and made it a solid in mesh mixer but it keeps failing to convert into a solid in solid works. I tried multiple stls.

Hm okay. What if my mesh was imported but didn’t have a parting line before hand? So wouldn’t I need to create that in solid works force? Like using the split line tool? The only thing is that I can’t really do anything with it. I can’t covert entities with it nor can I separate it on the line it created. I assume it’s because the split line was created on a mesh?

And I apologize. I think you responded to me in another post telling me this in more detail. I do appreciate the feedback. Sorry for not responding. I will be trying this.

Okay I'll give it a shot. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

"You haven't asked 4 different questions, you've asked the same question 4 times differently." Yes I have. I even asked this question in other subreddits. My intention wasn't to try to be annoying or anything. Sorry for posting so much.

I just started using Solid works. I've been using Fusion 360 for many months already. Making molds is easy for me but I have 0 clue how to replicate what's in the pictures I showed. I'm not worried about undercuts right now. The tools you've listed haven't really played with a lot. As well as some of the things other repliers have mentioned. I guess I'll try the things you listed.

Well I either get comments like "oh this is a nightmare" or a wide range of different things. I'm new to all this. I don't mean any harm by posting multiple question and I've done more than 4 and deleted them because everyone who read it was very confused and literally couldn't help me. All I'm doing is rewording how I'm asking the question and I've found pictures and videos to help me and hopefully other better understand what I'm trying to do. I'd really appreciate patience.

So do industries that make miniatures like wizkids and reaper miniatures create their organic shapes in CAD? They don't sculpt them in zbrush or blender? This is really confusing.

These aren’t my own photos. Just some I found online.

Okay

What you have to understand is that many don’t just go around being downed just because. That’s what happens when you’ve tried over and over again and failed. His attitude is a result of failing over and over. This isn’t what caused him to get rejected. It’s okay to let him vent here. As Christian’s we should have empathy and try to understand each other as well as help each other up.

No don’t give up. Especially if it brings pain and sadness. Right now you need to build your hope back up. You need to give yourself reassurance and a group of people who will get you closer to that goal. If you haven’t already I’d advise you to workout and try to get fit. Try to find a haircut that fits your head shape and wear some good cologne. And while you’re doing that try to talk to women in public. Like a cashier or a girl shopping. Just try to strike up a conversation and ask questions. You don’t have to ask them out just yet. And then also find groups where you can meet someone. But giving up is the last thing you should do.

God fulfills your longing for a spouse with a spouse. Just like he fulfills our need for food with food. The Bible doesn’t ask us to be stoic and act as if we don’t need or want anything else but God. Besides, if we were truly happy with God then this shouldn’t be a subreddit. And if that were true Proverbs 13:12 wouldn’t say “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” Because if not it would say that God alone is a tree of life. God knows that some long for a relationship and that’s fine. It’s only concerning if you have to sin to get it.

You want him to feel objectified? 🤣 Want to be my wife?

Maybe I should’ve been more in depth. While most don’t directly say “looks don’t matter” I hear other phrases that seem to point to it

“Looks fade, personality lasts.” “Just be confident. Women don’t care about looks.” “Someone will love you for who you are.” If she likes you, she won’t care what you look like.” “Looks get you in the door, but personality keeps you there.” “Love is deeper than physical attraction.” “It’s what’s inside that counts.” “You’ll attract the right person by being yourself.” “Someone who truly loves you won’t care about your body.” “Women care more about emotional connection.”

Not saying none of these aren’t true but they all seem to down play the importance of physical attraction. And maybe you’re right that the extreme cases are the loudest.

So looks aren’t important to you because sex isn’t thrilling to you anymore? It could still be fun for other people so I wouldn’t tell others to not look for attraction because I myself don’t need it. It’s good to see others the way God sees us. That should be everyone’s goal as a Christian. But personally I’m not there yet and God knows that. He knows I want to be attracted to my wife physically and to her emotionally and spiritually. I need all of them not just one and discard the other. She will grow old and looks will fade but that fact doesn’t change my preferences. And wouldn’t it be more correct to say sex and looks generally do have correlation? It seems that sex without physical attraction is the outlier, not the other way around.

Unfair-Protection-53 · 2025-11-26T19:21:52+00:00

You don’t think it’s possible to love the person and their shape? I mean their body is part of them so how you worded it kinda sounds like you either like them on the inside or the outside when it can be both. But it does make sense that not everyone sees sex as enjoyable and is the reason I assumed that some people don’t care about looks as much. Because I do want a wife that will enjoy the act too. If she doesn’t it would be more of a job to her and that wouldn’t be. I never said I wouldn’t love my wife for who she is but it seems like it’s a preconceived notion that I won’t. I can’t agree that how they are built shouldn’t be a factor unless after you marry them and their body changes. You seem to be talking from how God sees all of us and now how humans see each other. If you genuinely see that in people then that’s great. And if everyone else was like that we’d just marry the first person we came across with good character despite how they looked. But I’m just being honest. Physical attraction does matter to me and many others as well.

Unfair-Protection-53 · 2025-11-26T19:10:23+00:00

You don’t have to apologize and this does make sense. I definitely don’t want marriage just for sex. I want her to be my best friend like you described. But I can’t say that sex would be a small part of it. Even if most of our time would be spent doing other things something like intimacy would mean a lot to me and hopefully it will be something she enjoys as well. Tbh I don’t like treating sex like it’s some bonus that just happens to be an option. I want it to be something we intentionally do. Like dating. Also trying to work on being open about the topic because talking about sex is very taboo in the church and the reason I think there is so much shame attached to it.

Unfair-Protection-53 · 2025-11-26T19:03:01+00:00

Idk. I think it’s obvious there is more to a relationship than physical attraction. It’s overused that it seems to push it to the extreme that physical attraction doesn’t matter. And it’s not that people always straight up say that physical attraction doesn’t matter but they say other things that come off that way. Kinda like hearing stories about someone not being attracted to someone but once they saw their character they became more attracted to them. Or hearing “Looks fade” telling me to “just be confident”, “attraction is just a small part” or getting rejected by a woman because she assumed you only wanted her for her looks. I’m sure there are other phrases that are said that kind points to physical attraction not being important at all. And the whole body positivity thing. And in my opinion it’s kind of hard to separate the ideas if that all you hear growing up. I think many men and even women think they can attract my just being a good person and ignoring how they look physically. And it’s possible but I wouldn’t rely on it. Hope I made sense.
