m-dynamics - Thanks for sharing that - really nice.

Like the double-flow technique.

Flow takes MoI to a whole new level, and makes models, such as your glasses, a lot easier to construct. It will be interesting to see what people design with it.

Very nice Mauro....Awsome!

By the way.. Pretty sure I would buy MoI apparel (from the MoI store of course)

I wonder how fast Mrs. MoI can silkscreen??? :o

A Rabbit with a Moai on it? A Moai with Rabbit ears?

Hi Mauro, that is an awesome result, and that really shows off the potential for the new flow command quite well! Thanks for posting the images to show the progression.

So much more depth and nuance in your final result compared with the initial extrusion!

This ability to start with some more simple blocky initial shapes should make things a lot easier than it would have been to create that final result directly in place.

- Michael

Very cool Mauro!
Shows us Moidellers the powerful potential of the new flow command, it's almost TSplines for MoI :)

Nice going Michael!

Cheers

Hi Mauro - the part of your Sunglasses steps here where you applied the lightbulb gave me an idea for a new "projective" mode for Flow which I've been working on for the past week here, and it seems like it is turning out pretty well.

It will be an additional mode for Flow where instead of stretching from surface to surface it instead beams the object onto a target by projecting along the base surface's normals.

Here's an example (here using some shapes that Felix posted previously):






So the position and angle of the base plane are significant with this mode, since the object is projected along the surface normals of the base plane.

Here's another example:





The other interesting thing about this mode is that it can work to project across joined surfaces instead of only on a single surface target like the current Flow, the surfaces do need to be smooth to each other though or else you'll get a messy result.

It should be good for applying stuff like decals where you want to apply it to a more localized area rather than having it stretch across the full surface.

- Michael

Here's another example of projective flow:





You can see the more localized effect there rather than stretching along the full target surface like the other flow mode does.

It also helps to make for less distortion, as long as the target surface doesn't curl away at too sharp of an angle from the projection.

- Michael

Very nice addition Michael, a more predictive control over Flow.

Cheers

Neat! So to make a design that had a lot of repetitive elements (like your star example, but with many more stars), would you array the stars in space around the base object, then "project-flow" them all at once?

Hi Pilou,

This is a new option that will be in the next v3 beta.

You would make copies of the star and base plane, but currently you would need to apply them with multiple runs of the Flow command - right now at least it projects by one base plane at a time.

I'm not quite sure yet how to make it work more in a batch type mode.
