I'm working on creating 3d text for a custom wordmark that isn't a part of any text library. Getting kind of stuck on how to best make the "M" in it.



enter image description here



I feel like it should be relatively easy, but I'm getting stuck on how to get those curves in there.



So far I started out with a cube then used loop cuts to make some sections.



enter image description here



Thanks in advance!

  • This looks as if you the vertices in the inner part of the bow don't share the same xz-coordinates as the outer ones. It seems easier to me to model the base plane first and extrude it afterwards.

With the Red Marking with the Bezier curve set handles to vector Press V and trace out the letter like this. With the Blue marking make sub divide verts.



enter image description here



After tracking with the vector handle. Now select the blue marking (sub divided) and make it free handles (Press V) and pull it up and with the side handle adjust it.



enter image description here



Final result





enter image description here



Press Alt+C convert to Mesh.



Press A to select all and Press F to fill faces



Now select the faces and Press E Extrude.

                      One-line joke

                      A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
