Default how would I make the spout part that you find on a workmen's bucket?

Hi

Been tring lots of way in gettting the shape of a spout that you find in a workmen's bucket, what every I try, it either ends up with to many polys or it does not join or cut out right.

the bucket shape is easy, but putting the spout on it ??

how shoul I go about it.

Do you mean like a tea kettle spout, or like a v-shaped spout?

For a tea kettle-type spout, I would use extrude along curve (or "along curve with scaling", which you can download from supercoldmilk.com) and extrude a ring along a spline.

For a V-type spout, I would build the bucket and then use the knife tool to cut in the v, and then scale the vertices along the edge of the v.

I think I might use the last idea, sound about what I think I want, I think if I round the edges and then cut the shape out it might work.

About the only way I did not think you try.

Thanks again.
