[Tutorial > Modeling] How To Create A Potato Chip

[GreenToaster]

Dang! Beat me to it . . . but I think the ridges go "long ways" . . . eh?

you've got me all confused now! I can't for the life of me work out wether the ridges are length ways or width ways

[jeff hammond]

i'm pretty sure the ridges are like green toasters.. otherwise, the chip would break in half too easily while dipping...

here's a pringle's style chip..
basically the same thing you did with and extra curve thrown into the mix..

Jeff, I think your chip is more realistic, captures the shape more accurately than the original one I did in post #1. All this chip modeling really makes me hungry for the real thing. :

Ha ha, that is great. Either way the ridges go they still taste the same

Actually they go diagonally according to this picture...

I wanna play too.

I added some texture to each of your chips, then created a imperfect one and rendered it.

hah.. awesome.

Nice Pete - thanks.

. . . did anyone else make a chip and then . . . see a hat?
