Thanks Cotty, Yes, I'm fully aware of how to make the faces flat or regular. That's not what I wanted, so they aren't Artifacts they are design decisions.
Look at the shape you get when you pull a spoon out of thick honey, it's a fluid solid and behaves in a very particular way. The surface tension isn't uniform so you get stretching.ok if it's intentional and you are happy with thw result that's fine
i was only pointing it in case you did'nt know of the control loops stuff, when you know what you are doing, "rules" can be broke here and there

Makes sense to me.
Molten glass has a much greater surface tension than something like honey, so whilst you will get deformation when pulling away gathers of glass, flat surfaces will tend to remain pretty even.
If I was modelling this I would add control loops and then move their position to allow for varying degrees of deformation/stretch.
I'd forget about actually making it in glass as it would be an absolute nightmare. Pulling multiple gathers off the plate whilst maintaining it's shape is one thing, but then adding in a pre-blown centre piece and twisting the gathers before everything collapses is insane....and then you'll have to keep everything in place whilst reheating the plate so that it will form-fit with the wood.....aaaarghhhh!!!!

Obviously my 35 years of working with molten glass are meaningless.

Pretty sure I didn't say that or give cause for you to take offence.
If you aren't bothered about the topology and the model/render works for your purposes, then you've done a good job. I was just offering some friendly advice on how you could improve the model next time around.
And just because I can see the difficulty in making the design in reality, it doesn't follow that I think you don't know what you are doing and you are not up to doing the job.

I must have a better look at Blender when I have time.

quadface/vertextools training.. work in progress..
any good reference for ear topology?

Ah...thanks Oli, I woz a bit sarcastic, as in simple aritsan examples. Go for it tho, its educational
-
thanks oli.. ill'try
-
-
that looks cool rich (and rather complex too)
-
a first try.. still to refine a lot..
-
Just a very simple bottle opener that I had to knock together in a rush.
The model and proxy are available to download from the 3DWarehouse
-
how did you render the wire?
-
It's an overlay done with Photoshop.
I could have rendered it with a wire procedural, but doing it in post was going to be quicker.
-
progression so far..
