Thanks Pilou!

"For applying them on to a sphere it may be a good idea to leave a little bit of margin area between your objects and the top and bottom edges of the plane, because those regions are compressing down to just a single point on the sphere and probably creating some degenerate geometry there. Probably it's ok for stuff like rendering though."

I did leave a small space on the top and right side of the flat plane and it seemed to work OK but I could see how it could cause problems with the top/bottom of the target mapped sphere.

This is a dome friends and I made before the days of 3D.;)

PS. - we didn't kill the moose, they were there when we got there.

From a few simple shapes & different warps...

Nice examples. :-)

Peace,

Thanks Rich, quick contour and occlusion render from Modo.

Design!

Cool look with the edge contours included!

- Michael

Thanks Guys! Yes, I like the illustrated look of contours. :)

Last test with this one, example of using flow on the results of a flow....

Cool PDF 3D!
Is that a theater?

Thanks Pilou!

No just a random set of shapes.

Flow to a Toroidal Knot using bemfarmers' excellent script. Thanks bemfarmer!




Rendered in Modo:

Cool pattern! Just imagine trying to model that one directly in place in 3D...

- Michael

Cool image!
Like Topmod Model! http://code.google.com/p/topmod/

It's a Moi script? have you the link?

Hi Pilou - Bemfarmer's toroidal knot plug-in here:

Many thanks!
Damned, this was released in August when I was not here!
So missed!

Ps I have made some publicity around the world of your previous images in some forum 3D :)
(and of course flow Moi function ;)

like these :) maybe some images are not visible for visitor not Sign up

Holy cats Danperk!! That thing is incredible!

Thanks Mike, not skill, just trickery. ;)

Great Flow example!
I've got to try one. I do have Alibre and Keyshot 2, but it only takes .bip format.


The toroidal knot script is about 99% copied from Michaels Toroidal Helix script, with I think, one added parameter.

@danperk
Does the rectangular pattern are separated objects or just one object boolean union?
from my tests both is working
but maybe one is best than some?

Hi Pilou,

They were separated objects. As you say, both would work but it's easier to modify the pattern as separated items.

I use the CurveLengthV2 script to copy/paste the width/height from destination object to rectangular base object.
From Petr's MoI page:

PS. If you wanted to manufacture this object, it would be better to Boolean union the pattern. :)
