Using blender 3d to create stl for CW pattern

I really like what you did with the eagle. However I do feel the stripes should have gone out to the tips of wings. This would make the stripes look longer then the star field. As far is the tail, I feel the stripes should have continued to the end of the tail. Which would make four red and four white so to speak. The lower three tail feather nobs would be the fourth white stripe.

Really cool. Thanks for sharing.

An experiment. It's a little messy but the technique has potential if I can figure out a few more things with it. This took less than 5 minutes to make.

Looks like it would be great for a feathering situation. Definitely shows up in the pic, am curious if a carve would reflect the visual. Would be hard to shade the wood to give that open feathery appearance. It would still present the shape from the difference in shading. You're constantly showing us unique perspectives that you figure out. Thanks for showing us the results.

Good eye. It won't. The detail is too small and soft. I would need to to do a lot more work to make the detail stand out. The picture below is what you would get out of designer.

This was mostly an experiment on what I can do quickly.

Yeah that's what I got looking at it in designer. But very nice test to look at and see the issues. You did state that this was a test pattern. There are a lot a designs that could that a look like this applied once the issues are clean up. Thanks for sharing Oscar.

Finally got the next one done. Hopefully it does justice to the reason. My apologies to Oscar for making a couple of small tweaks in Corel to make it fit my perspectives.
Thx again for the original

Love that you are making it your own. It looks wonderful.

Way better painting than I could ever do.

The eagle looks great. I like the new paint scheme. Great work.

At the request of a fellow member, I made a hummingbird scene panel. It was a super fast build so not perfect. I have not carved it so please use your expertise on carving it.

I am in the middle of several projects so did it in between project breaks.

The projects are some animation clips for my wife and designing a chess board for my custom chess pieces I am 3d printing. I have 9 pieces left to go but each is a 14-17 hour print. I am learning modeling for 3d printing and cnc carving are two similar but not same process. I've had to go back and re-design several pieces due to print failures caused by my poor modeling. I got the 3d printer 3 weeks ago and its been going non-stop.

I still have a bunch of flute blanks just waiting for me to start as well.
