Lovely Rich. Did you vectorize a texture or something?

Sure for this sort of things SU can't fight with ZB, Wings3D, Blender.. but it has a so sweet ergonomy!

I know I know, that's why I can't stop using it.

Thomthom's HeightMap to Mesh plugin on a 64px x 64px .bmp
Tried a 208px x 208px first but it buckled SU.

Oh yeah, great little plugin. Isn't there a plugin/algorithm to subdivide a face into these shapes? I'll look into some other techniques to achieve this. Imagine a Voronoi TOS

TIG's elegantly named Quadrilatelizer (which has a scrabble score of 968 with three triple word bonuses and bonus for all letters used) can generate a funky yet consistent results.
-
Thought so!
Gonna give it a whirl now.There seems to be a grasshopper workflow I may look into as well.

You need the patient of a saint to wait while SU crunches numbers....not worth the effort though....

Here's my go. Much better than Rich's

Yes but that is only quads!

Seems you have not only quads!
So what is your secret ?

That's plagiarism

The Voro method by Mattc is fine but you must click twice the same number of faces!


-
Yours is a lot better...and great render.

One for draw a point, one for apply the plug on each points!
Of course I can use the Manifold Lab of Wings 3D but that is cheating!


-
Looking great Oli.

-
Tell me how!!! Cryptic! I can do this in Wings but I don't want to. You see from the video just how easy a subdivision in Wings can be!! The only problem is how many iterations before it will import into SU!

This is what I was doing last night. Anyone remember Podium 1.7?



and a splice!

Massimo, spill the beans please! how did you achieve your design?
For my first lamp I used the bulb from your FLY Lamp. Yes I was lazy enough to borrow a sphere!

Well I was HEAVILY helped by Rich...

Seriously I just messed by accident with posts, that's Rich's model not mine.
