About this course

This course will walk you through multiple techniques for adding conformal ribs and textures to your geometry in nTop. After completing this course, you will be familiar with various workflows and tactics for both functional and aesthetic design.

Prerequisites: 101: nTop Essentials, 210: Intro to Lattices, 220: Intro to Field Driven Design

What will be Covered 

  • Using conformal lattices to design structural ribs
  • Using fields to add roughness and drive procedural textures
  • Orienting bodies across a surface
  • Importing Bitmaps to manipulate geometries
