What would be the best way to recreate this Apple Watch band?

I've tried tracing it with the spline pen to get the basic shape without much success. I've also tried making basic outline and then using the spline arc tool to get the overall shape.

Apologies for the late reply. I like the ideas but they don't work when used in the actual scene.

Awesome. I think the first option will be a good start. Thank you.

I've uploaded a section from the original scene with annotations.

Hi,

I have a Rube machine which I'm using dynamics to animate. On one section the ball gets stuck in a rail. The rail has a collider tag and is set to Convex Hulls. Setting the Geometry Accuracy to 10 on the rail will still get the ball stuck as the Rigid Body shape isn't leaving enough room for the ball to travel past. Setting the rail to Triangle Mesh doesn't work either as the ball just falls through the rail.

Any suggestions?

How can I randomize the rotation of objects in a cloner 360 deg but in steps of 90 deg?

This worked much better. In the end I used the splines from a Sub-D version of the mesh the geo sat much better against the bottle. Thanks.

Ok, thanks for that, I'll take a look. Originally I had tried to wrap Text Geo onto the bottle via Spline Wrap deformer but I couldn't get all letters to sit flush with the bottle.

Having a hard time unwrapping this simple bottle. However I try it it still results in distortion right where the two labels would go.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I'll take a look.
