Can this form be created in Archicad ??

I have to model a very dynamic form in archicad, something like the photo below.
please tell me this can be done with archicad ?
I have seen a lot of great features of archicad but not much in the way of free flowing shapes ?

I hope people say yes, this can be done... fingers crossed.
Thanks.
Ian

i looked around google.

what do people think about this ?

1 CREATE DYNAMIC FORM IN (BLENDER FREE 3D SOFTWARE)
2 THEN IMPORT AS OBJECT INTO ARCHICAD.
3 MODEL IN ARCHICAD; AROUND FORM.
4 RENDER IN ARTLANTIS

I’ve come across this image in some architecture website. I can’t remember where. I am also curious to know if this is possible with ArchiCADs new shell tool. I suppose it may take more than one extremely worked shell to compose that shape. I think it’s a great architectural composition though!

possible it is! I have seen such amazing designs around here. Not on my league though . 😞
I guess you will need the precise measures to do it in a CAD program.

Sure you can do.
I make some non-ortogonal design for hobby. You can view some of this here:

Having said you can't, I am not so sure. I am about to do it with the shell tool only I think.

Here is a quick example to show that something similar could be made with ArchiCAD only.

Hi Jose.
Your video is absolutyl brilliant !
can you please tell me, all these forms were made with 100 percent archicad ?

also please can you tell me where i could find a tutorial to learn how to make such dynamic forms.

I really have to produce these for my new company, and i have to learn this.

Thanks a million.
Ian
I think I will be able to stretch a single shell in to a similar form.

steve, the model looks really good !
im almost sure, you did this with AC15 ??.

Could you type a few steps that you took to make this.

Thanks a lot.
Very interesting stuff.
Ian
I think I could model that with ArchiCAD only.

I see the this was modeled in ArchiCAD.

Perhaps the author wil show us some screen shots of the shells ?
