I got a 14ft jon boat that I need to make a dimensionally accurate 3D model of. It's an old school "skiff?" style with lots of curves. I wish it were The newer style that's more angular.
The extent of my 3D modelling has been designing things that didn't exist yet. This will be my first try at recreating something that already exists. So far my only bright idea is to tape a network of strings inside so that the strings all come together with each other as triangles. Measure the triangles, enter dimensions into CAD, and then use some curve functions to tie it all together. That just seems very labor intensive and easy to get it wrong.
Any better ideas?
