      Rrrrridddges. πŸ˜„

      The file is a bit high poly and has a glitch being scaled down from creating it but here you go.

      No tut with it either, just the model. Basically I did the same as you Brad except for the arc on the side I made a high segment count. Then drew an arc from each endpoint alternating the bulge. Afterwards I offset the ridges then continued just like you did.

      Thanks for adding a tutorial by the way. Much appreciated. πŸ‘

        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 πŸ‘Š

            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. : πŸ˜†

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

                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.

                          Some folks just got WAY TOO MUCH time on their hands. β˜€

                          May all your dimensions be the sum of their total.
