Hi Stefan,

you are right MoI is super and flow, orient or curve projected tool is very powerful for working with curved surfaces including sphere.

Hi Stefan,
A slightly different approach.

I trimmed a sphere with triangle shapes, then ran transform-deform-twist on the resulting surface. Put a small explodemove on just the trimmed pieces after the twist.

Hi BurrMan,

very good idea and looking cool! Now i would copy and paste the edges from the surfaces
and then construct "cutting objects"*, to slice another sphere, to get your nice pattern on
a solid sphere... :-)

I usually create those with duplicating the curves and scale one inwards a sphere and
the other one outside the sphere and loft them, to use the lofted surfaces as trim objects
for a solid sphere.

[EDIT]

Why do i create lofted "cutting surfaces" instead of projecting and then trimming? Because
i often have holes here and there in the solid surface when using complicated patterns.
With "cutting surfaces" i don't have this issue. ;-)

Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
The object and result was a solid sphere!

I just unjoined and explodemoved it for the visual effect.

So, dice some fundamental pattern on a sphere surface, then "twist" it to get some of those more "Organic shapes"...

The sphere wont deform in a twist on its center axis.

Before a twist....

Hi BurrMan,

Ah o.k.! I only thought when "re-projecting" your nice surfaces you would have than more
space between each surface.

[EDIT] Never mind, i am probably wrong with my thinking and have to try it out myself.

Regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan and Friends ,
It seems that I find it taste .....

Another Pattern (PhylloPattern on Sphere) with multiple outputs,
(see attached images) some concerning the Form and the Volumes,
Others , more the graphic appearance (Colors) .
I hope it is a your liking and maybe a suggestion for as many futures
contaminations ......
Files and images to this link:

If you believe that the topic is interesting, kindly publish it....
Thank you for the great patience you show with me.
Have a nice evening

Hello AL!

Wonderful pattern!!

But...why don't you directly include the final images into the messages that you post?
It's really a pity to be forced to download the zip, extract, then view the images...
Your stuff deserve to be viewed instantly :)

Marco, Stefan , and friends, if you do not place my files directly
and related images, it is simply because not
I can no longer do it, as I said,
I do not know if it depends on the Server or what else ...
the fact is that after the seismic events that occurred
in the Marche (Italy), where I live, I could not do it anymore
Sorry, but this is the reality ......
I hope in the future that I can normally post my work
Sorry again , and
Have a nice day to all

Ciao AL!

(Italian)
...ma che strano problema questo dell'update impedito per le foto...stranissimo.
Mai sentita una cosa del genere.
Evidentemente come dici te e successo qualche casino grosso a livello di Server della telefonia...
Mai sentita una cosa del genere.
Spero che presto le cose si mettano a posto :)

English.
Hello AL!
OK. Got it. I hope that soon your internet connection will be restored to its usual behavior.

Ciao!

Hi all,

i am currently busy with non-related 3D things and therefore have no time
to visit the forum daily.

Nice submissions from you all. Keep up the good work!

Regards
Stefan

Thanks Stefan!

Have a nice day!

Hi Friends
Anyone interested can find this link :
http://www.mediafire.com/file/kajf8j19alp8383/TriaPatternonSphere.zip/file
file.nod and picture of
Triangular Pattern on Sphere, in the file I used
my last Macro _Exp Polyhedron
have a nice day to all
al
Ps- Note that the Boolean are really
stable, slow, sometimes very slow, but
they give great results,
notice the quality of the single cut surface
