Remaking an Ancient Pottery Piece Using Fusion 360

This short tutorial shows you how to remake an ancient artifact from the 2nd century BCE using Fusion 360.

This will assume you have the following already prepared.

1. Fusion 360 Open
2. Your Pot image downloaded

The required items you need for this project are,

1. Fusion 360
2. The image of the ancient pottery

1. In the top right corner, select the "Canvas" option
2. Then, insert the image from your computer by clicking the "From my computer" button in the bottom left corner of the pop up.
3. After that, select the plane you want the image to be on, in this tutorial I placed it on the XZ plane.
4. Scale the image to your liking.

1. Create a sketch, to do this, in to top left corner you should see the "create sketch option"
2. Place the sketch on the same plane that you placed the image.

You'll need three types of lines, an arc, a fit point spline and a line. All three are on the top right corner dropdown.

1. First place a line from the top of the pot to the bottom, make sure this line is directly in the middle of the pot.
2. Then you have to place a line at the bottom left side of the pot
3. Then do a fitted point spline and make the spline match the bottom of the pot.
4. Then you place an arc and continue to match the outside of the pot.
5. Continue these arcs until you reach the top, where you place a line from the end of your last arc to the middle of the pot.

1. Finish sketch at the top right corner.
2. Select the revolve command and your half sketch pot.
3. Select the axis as the middle line of the pot
4. Then revolve 360 degrees.

You can choose whatever texture you want to, but I chose the concrete so that is what I'll show you how to do.

1. Right click your model in the left hand side of the screen
2. Select the appearance option.
3. Go to the library section of the pop up, and download the concrete texture.
4. After you download it, click and drag it next to the other texture in the box.
5. Then you click and drag the concrete texture to your model, and drop it on your model.
