        That's excellent Rich. I'd be interested in your workflow too. The render looks real πŸ‘ This is where problem can lie with SU, it's hugely difficult to post-honeycomb a structure if you understand me. The mesh must relate to the structure when I believe there is an easier way of doing it. Rich I think you can make voronoi textures in photoshop using stained glass filter πŸ˜‰

        SketchUp really isn't the best tool for these models, but I find its limitations/constraints can sometimes be inspirational...it helps me understand 3D better.

        Yes Pilou, I remember seeing a frenchy pilou plugin on the internet and I thought "I know this guy, I know this guy!!"
        I looked at using Wings 3D again for these models...it's just 100x quicker than SketchUp. Why is sketchup still so slow? Why does it slow to a snail's pace with heavy geometry when another app can open/navigate the scene fluidly? Will it always be like this? πŸ˜† Sorry for the rant.

          At the base it's a "Box modeler", not a "Subdivison Modeler" and it has so many other things to manage!

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

              Lovely Rich. Did you vectorize a texture or something? πŸ‘

                  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 πŸ˜„

                    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! πŸ˜† 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....

                                          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! πŸ˜†
