Create Lion and Cow face

Roopa A
Contributor
Hai,

I need to create face of lion and cow, I tried with morph, I am not getting it properly as I want.
I searched for object also, I dint get it.

Please any one help me in this.

I have attached the image how it is to be . The sectional view of that.

Thank you.

All I can say is good luck with that.
If you have to use Archicad exclusively, then the morph tool will be your best bet - however it is not meant to do this sort of thing as you seem to have found out.

You will be best to go to some other software that allows you to model these type of figures.
You may even find something modelled up already that you can use in that software.
Don't ask me what software you will need as I have no idea - and expect a steep learning curve to use it if you have to create your own model.
You will need to look for software that can export the model in a format that Archicad can import.

I created with morph, it is like this. See the image below.

And I created with profile manager. It is like this, See the image below.

The steps is within that face. So

I checeked that. But I dint found the proper one.

Learning curve - using this we can create this model??

Yes ok.

Something simplistic like this is about the best you will get without a lot more effort and trouble.
But if you want a full 3D model that looks much more realistic you will need to look at other software.
And be aware that the more realistic it is, the more polygons it will have and the more it will affect the performance of Archicad.

Do you any idea, which software it is??

We can save it is a object and import it na??

No I don't.
Someone else may have an idea.
Blender maybe - but I am just guessing (and I believe it is free).

You will need to find a common format that the software can export (save) as, and that Archicad can import as.
Archicad can handle quite a few 3D formats so you should be able to find something compatible.

It's surprising what gets modelled with Sketchup. See if you can find a .SKP model with a google search or ask on their forums. You should be able to bring a SKP file straight into AC with a limited number of adjustments for presentation.

Ok thank you,

I will with Blender.

Thank you so much.

As DGSketcher suggested, you're likely to find all the animals you want at the Sketchup 3D warehouse.
