Deerstalker (Sherlock's Hat)


To create the deerstalker, I started with the head part. To create this I had found an image of a deerstalker and opened it in the front perspective.  I the created a spline and used the lathe nurbz. This gave me cup shape for the head.








I then had to create the front and back flaps of the deerstalker. To create those I started with a cylinder that I made editable. I then scaled it flat and so it had more of a point in the side directions. I then added a hyper nurbz to make it more smooth and round. To make sure that the flaps didn't appear on the inside of the head part I created a shape that fit inside the head part and used the boole tool so that both flaps were booled.




To create the flaps that are connected to the side of the deerstalker I started with a cube. I made the cube editable and selected the top face, I then extruded and rotated so that it extrudes up the shape of the side of the hat. I then repeated the process until it reached the top. I then scaled the extruded cube and made it thin. I then added a hyper nurbz and made a copy for the other side.









For the ribbon that connects the flaps at the top I created a sphere and scaled it so that it was flatter. I then created a torus and scaled it so that it was oval, I made a copy of the torus and positioned them so they were the loops in the ribbons. For the bottom ribbon pieces I started with a cube and extrude and rotated it until it reached the right length. I then scaled it to make it thinner and made a copy for the other side.








My final piece looked like this;
