Pizza with Naan Bread Bridges my own recipe.

Goat cheese, crushed tomatoes, oregano, garlic, crushed onions and dash or two or three of crushed red pepper. :)

Spicy!

Now we're waiting for the dental bridge, the bridge to another universe and so on. :)

Nice job.
I can tell you how to make that shape in Moi 3d Steinie.
Its basically made with the extrude along curve tool and the array along curve tool. It takes a few minutes realy.
What you need is a basic shape that you define with a curve of the handrailing.....
you use a circle outside of that curve to extrude the handrailing... you then make 1 pillar and use the same curve
that you used for the basic shape of the handrailing as an array along curve thats it .. you do the same thing with the steps
but important is that you have version 2 and you can define a surface for that last steps to be perpendicular to.....
all the other steps are the same way as above....

Thanks Steinie, and thanks Rayman for covering the process!

I'll add that the flat parts were just done manually so this could
be done with MoI Ver. 1 with no problem. I know I'll end up working
with polys so I don't worry too much about doing everything with NURBS. ;)

The vertical poles are done with Curve Array Flat which
aligns them vertical & the planks use Curve Array Freeform
which follow the curve.

Here's a screen cap. in MoI showing the Array Paths selected:

I don't do crits, but I'll just say Great Job Everyone!

The response to the SMC this Month has been amazing! I think one of the reasons is the cool subject selected.
I believe everyone is still a kid inside and building a bridge was just a cool thing to do. Lets try to keep the
energy going this year if we can. I'm having fun and learning new ways... are you? :bananathumb:

Maybe TS can have a revival if you will. If not maybe atleast this site can grow. It is just a good site for more than just TS. I am not going anywhere, unless the good Lord calls me home. I might get a bit busy with school and work, but I will be here!

Hey this was a very hard Challenge to vote for! Almost everyone submitted work I wish I could have voted for. (Even you James!) :lol: (I really liked your deck of cards)
So if your entry doesn't get votes then take it to heart that Steinie liked it. That means something right? I have value right? AAAA Phoeeey......
