Some speed modeling practice.
Pattern takes less than 5 minutes to model.
Open a circle with 18 verts.
Select alternating verts in edit mode. Size smaller. Creates the star.
Select all and duplicate and expand out to create the star mesh.
Select all and extrude up to give it volume.
Select all and duplicate. Creates a second star.
Size smaller and it becomes second inner star. Done.
Create a simple shape and then apply array modifier to repeat it across x and y for a super fast model and pattern.
No reason other than I could. Did a search for primitive tools and it popped up. I was a little shocked since I was unaware it was a thing.
Old wagon wheel. Made the model and cnc pattern first and then went back and used it to render a picture.
The texture was made from a picture of one of my trees and applying to wheel geometry using the displacement modifier.
lol. I just saw an error as I was posting the pictures. I need to rotate the spokes by 15 degrees so they don't fall right on the seams.
I am cleaning out some of my library. Threw a bunch of patterns into the store for consideration and sharing these.
The raised cross will require some draft due to the thin points.
Very nice patterns!! The cross is beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!
Good. Hopefully they are of use. :)
For something a little different. Here is a small practice exercise on simple morphing of a base geometry.
Take the STL file and load it into blender.
It is low poly so you will have to apply a subdivision surface modifier. Apply at least 3 subdivision to have enough geometry (the high poly was too large to upload to the forum).
Now go into sculpt mode and use the grab brush. Now just move the geometry to create new facial expressions. Have fun.
For a more advanced exercise go into edit mode and change the eyes and tongue to a separate selection so they are not affected with the skull morph.
The picture is the low poly skull, the high poly skull, then two examples of me using the grab brush to move pieces of the skull to change the expressions.
For folks that don't want to do the exercise the patterns are enclosed.
Nice job Oscar, I like!
