BRL-CAD

Model a coffee cup (with coffee in it)

Create a 3D model of a coffee cup with coffee in it. You must model it to scale and it must be significantly different in design from the MGED coffee mug tutorial. ALL edges must be rounded and smooth, including where the handle attaches to the base.

BRL-CAD provides several ways to model 3D geometry including a graphical tool named mged, another named archer, and various ways to create geometry using scripts. Create your model using BRL-CAD, not via import. Create one top-level combination to group everything together.

Start with some MGED tutorials if you haven't yet, which are a separate task! You can learn the basics of 3D modeling in just an hour or two.

SUBMIT a PNG image, your geometry in BRL-CAD ".g" file format, and a text explaining how&why you made your model the way that you did.
