How to draw a faceted bottle like the one attached

Hello

I try to model this bottle but can't imagine how to finish it.

  • I identify 3 symmetries (vertical and horizontal for the front side, and a vertical one in the thickness), which allows me to draw only 1/8th of a bottle
  • I can get the veneers at 45 degrees in 2 directions
  • I'm lost when it comes to getting the "triangles"

Do you have a suggestion on the method to adopt?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

The easiest way would be to create plans to do simple material removals.

 

Do you have the file?

Hello:

Several solutions.

For my part, I would draw a quirky sketch see image

Then I join the vertices

After that, it's up to you :

Surface

Plan for section.

EDIT: on a white background it's a little better, sorry for the quality (the sketch offset in pink is what traces the 3 vertices).

Hello

I would lean towards the 3D sketch and then the surface.

See this

It's a radiant size

Make x leave with corresponding angles

and create plans for material removal
