My family as vases
-
I wanted to create an unusual family portrait. This one was made using SketchUp (with the Follow-Me tool and was ultimately printed on my new MakerBot. See if you can make out the faces...
The tutorial is posted here:
Makes for a great personal holiday present...

Very cool.

Took me a second.
Very cool indeed.

Very clever idea
The Queen and Prince Philip had a not dissimilar combo vase made showing both of them - not readily possible with SUp's FollowMe, unless you make two halves and merge their meshes around a half-circle path [CurviLoft, EEby???, Artisan ?] and then merges two mirrored parts... It ends up looking wonky and poorly made until your brain clicks into 'negative mode'...

Very nice, thanks for the tut

The only example of when being negative is quite positive.

Very clever
I must admit that I needed the hint about thinking negatively before I saw the profiles.

Wow, great idea! Now if I can get four faces on the four "sides"... Come to think of it: I might try this with a cube.

Haha...

First attempt of a combined vase with Curviloft. Not bad, I just have to tweak alignment...

Okay, it's in the MakerBot now. Here's a better version. Still not perfect but quite okay.
You can also look at the 3D model on Sketchfab: http://skfb.ly/l4hf1c0ba

sympa ;o)

I really like the way you can get 'a couple' commemorated like this in one thing... and they are looking at each other too !
It looks like a very poorly formed thing, until you know the secret of how to look at it and then it's wonderful -
Very cool idea Alex. I like the individual vases best.
