These threads never go well, but I have a problem with Rhino 3D.

I'm trying to model a torch, and planned on using a method where a mesh could be made from several curves. It looked as though Sweep 1 was the best command to use, but I'm getting odd results.

Here's my layout for an idea:

Any ideas? Any better way of doing this?

I don't know the answer to your question, but congrats on the new fleshlight design...

Fuckin' knew this was coming. Ah well.

No man, it's ribbed on the outside...

what's wrong with it exactly? it looks like the curves that you have put in place

Yeah. Maybe I am missing something

What you're doing wrong is using Rhinoceros.

Those look like finger grips.

It's dual purpose and can be used as a dildo.

Nope, ti doesn't conform to them as precisely as I'd like - it does fit them, but loosely - I've tried all the different options and played with the values, but it always comes out weird.

I know, I know - I have to use it for my course. I could have done this in Maya using polygons in seconds, but this shit is stupid.

late reply, but did you try maybe adding more curves to harden up the edges a bit?
