Hi all,

while the sphere is an important basic primitive i thought why not
create a thread, which shows spheres with different patterns on them.

Why? Sometimes i doodle around with a sphere, when not having an
idea what to model... :-) Maybe you like the idea and would submit
patterns on spheres, finalized in MoI, too. You can of course use other
tools too, like polygon meshes imported into MoI, to use them as
cutting objects etc. to form a final NURBS sphere, made with MoI.

Hope you like the idea!

Maybe with this thread we can find the next football design. :-)

Interesting challenge!

:)

Yup, would be interesting too with what patterns the NodeEditor gang would come up... ;-)

Today's doodle. :-)

I really like what can be done, with a simple sphere and the tools MoI offers!

Not much of a pattern, like the previous ones, but imho looking nice.

Hi Stefan and Marco,
my little contribution to pattern on a sphere ....
The helicoidal motif can be varied with the many parameters ,
n ° round for the helix .radius pipe etc. etc.
I can not post pictures anf file, I have problems with the server
of the area in which I live, if you want, and you think it opportune you can publish the images
for the users
File and picture at this link:

Hi all,

a little test and no rendering. I thought i give Escher tilings a try.
This is my humble approach. Four pink and four white birds. :-)
It would be a lot cooler if i would use more birds, but i never
done this tiling stuff before and at the moment it is a bit to
complicated for me.

Only MoI was used!

And the bird design was taken from this very nice page:
