      wow, that looks marvellous, Fred!

      and this is solely a SketchUp generated image? (looks like you spent 10 hours of rendering on that πŸ˜† )

        Thanks for the feedback guys. Always appreciated. Just SketchUp (and FFD) acting a little screwy.

        If anyone is interested, hi-res versions of the images are available at the following urls:

              Really interesting stuff! excellent!

              To me it looks like it could be some crazy hair / a wig of some sort...

                Thanks guys. You are making my day, which is cool because we had a t-storm last night which screwed up the electricity at the school where I'm the I.T. guy. I used to like thunderstorms. 😒

                Again, straight SketchUp/FFD. No photoshop.

                rsw, I'm with you re the crazy hair look. I think they would make great toupΓ©es for some Japanese anime character. Goku's wacky brother perhaps. πŸ˜‰

                  One last image before settling down to some real work. I was using the Option/Orbit trick (Ctrl-Orbit on Windows) to get some different views of the model. This view seemed to have a little more balance than the others.

                  It has some nice color details at high resolution, so I put the hi-res version here:

                    Nice effect Fred!

                    An other cool thing to do with your image is to use the 'normal pushpull' option that comes with joint push pull on your model, it does this to a sphere:

                      HFM,

                      Cool idea regarding joint push pull. I took one of the elements that comprise the starting geometry for the images above and tried your idea on it. Lots of potential here I think.

                      Fred
