Roll Cage Creation

Hi all,

I would like to get back into vehicle creation. I want to do off-road vehicles, but I can't seem to figure out the best way to model a roll cage. Can I get some pointers?

I need to know what to use - curves, extruding, etc. Also, how should I set up the beams.

Thanks in advance!

 

it's kinda simple to make a roll cage.
I think u don't need curve tool!

 

So from what I can tell from that post is a roll cage is created by extruding and rotating a cylinder object?

 

How would I add two separate intersecting "tubes" for the cage?

 

2 cylinders joined together by the Boolean modifier in Blender? I haven't created any, but this seems logical.

 

I've never used the Boolean modifier. I'll have to look at some tutorials.

 

Boolean is a useful tool!

 

Thanks I'll check it out! Also, you stated in an earlier post that you don't need the curve tool to create a cage structure. What tool would be best used instead?

 

umm....I forget it. But curve might be the best tool for you
