Well I started going the modeling work on the pillar pod. Actually I've been picking at it for the last few weeks.
Here is a shot of the imported 3D scan
The first thing I did was position the curves from the original profile along the scan.
I then used the guide curves to loft a surface.
You can see the surface follows the mesh pretty well.
That was the easy part. Next I project lines down to the mesh to use as a reference for creating the guide curves I use to make the surfaces.
This section is the top where it follows the windshield weatherstrip around and tucks under the visor mount.
This is all kind of wavy because I'm pulling the curves from the areas I formed with the modeling clay.
Keep in mind this is just the reference surface I'm creating so that I can design the actual pod section.
And you thought this was easy!
