It's very interesting! The additional shaping kind of makes it feel like a special voronoi speaker for a fancy high end audio system...

Beautful models, Torolf!!! it's always surprising to see your creativity!

Did you use a program to create the voronoi diagrams?

Hello,

can everyone explain me the step from this one



to this one



With Offset I get not such round shapes. See the image and file below.




Thanx
Michael

maybe after the Offset
Select all internal curves
use Key Tab
then write Rebuild (Enter)
By Points 4 or more
With
Disable Keep corners
& Erase input Objects

You could use the Control Point spline tool to redraw each cell at their control points and then may offset the spline a bit.

Yeah judging by the generated shape, I'm pretty sure that this was the technique used to generate the curves.

Hello all ( specially TOROLF),

I would like to know the easiest way to create the surface shown (highlighted yellow) in the picture of post 539.11 without holes.

Hi Psygorn, often times using sub-d modeling in a polygon modeling program is the easiest way to make smooth blended branching structures.

One way that you could try in MoI though is by setting up curves like this:


Extrude to make suraces:


Hide curves and select edges and use Construct > NSided to make an n-sided patch there:


Then mirror:




3DM model file attached.

Hello and thank you, Michael;

I gave it a try before seeing your reply and I came up with the results below on my own. however, I want to ask can I be sure that the transition between red and green surfaces is done smoothly?
I mean the blue edge would be smooth?

Hi Psygorn, in your model the blue edge is definitely not smooth. To get a better look at it, assign all surfaces to "Default" style and then export to an .obj file and you can get this display:



You can set up a shortcut key for Space having:
SaveAs c:\test.obj
as a shortcut for getting this kind of display easily.

It's difficult in NURBS surfacing to make a smooth surface patched in between an odd number of open edges like you're trying to do there. That's one of the strengths of sub-d modeling that it can more easily blend between things like that.
