      You're right Gaieus,
      I know TaffGoch tutorials, they're actually a must.

      I thought however that a step-by-step description could be useful in this thread concerning geometric constructions and sculptures.

      (But you're right, they're problably off topic in the gallery, I wont post any more)

      thanks.

        Here's the last one I made (so far):

        mill3.jpg

        It is inspired (in the sense that is has the same structure, rhombic triacontahedron) to:
        George Hart's 12-Part Puzzle

        .

          I didn't mean you shouldn't post whatever you like in connection with this thread (although admittedly such a tut would be nice in the respective department as well ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

          And of course I only mentioned Taff here because - well, true, his works are a must ๐Ÿ‘

            TaffGoch also has many cool models related to George Hart's sculptures like this one:

              An idea for the holidays.

              Cut 30 pieces like this:
              image016.jpg

              Then have fun sliding them toghether to obtain this:

              Precise instructions and ready-to-print templates: here and here

              Of course, you can also obtain similar results using sketchup

              triacontahedron.jpg

              I also built one with colored thick paper and it is actually fun.

                          (maybe you must wait 15 second for download)

                              You might enjoy making models of some of Bathsheba's work too -http://www.bathsheba.com.

                              Here's a model inspired to [url=http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/metatrino/:3dwc88vc]Bathsheba's Metatrino[/url:3dwc88vc] (I didnt model many details but it has the same structure: the cube and its dual, the octahedron)

                                The more curious is that Bathsheba describe all his works and all his numerous tools and there is not TopMod inside!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

                                  Nice renderings Pilou, thanks.
                                  Contributions are always wellcome.

                                  The command for connecting two faces in TopMod
                                  is actually really useful.
                                  Btw, are you a developper of TopMod?

                                    Pilou,

                                    As might be deduced from the name, Bathsheba is a She. But thank you for the link. This is mind-boggling stuff. She lives near me. I'll have to see her sculptures.
