        many thanks Liam - yes and no πŸ˜‰
        something "horseshoe"-shaped like this I had seen before. The wavy wires were an attempt to connect these rows then.

            ... thanks again - to be honest, I have no idea if something like this would be possible in real life. Playing with weavings(?) is interesting however and fun πŸ˜„

                    Excellent modeling, but man, it must make for a large file size?

                      wich would be true 🀒 especially since I have modelled these small tubes dilettantishly bad and way to big. But since I made a proxy from only one fabric part, for the final rendering model I just added these light proxies.
                      (The SkUp screenshot above I made just to show the simple weave principle)

                          Very impressive work! Obviously took a lot of thought and planning.
                          I remember congratulating myself when I made this, but your work makes mine seem like basket weaving πŸ˜† .

                            Wow Hellnbak 😍 πŸ‘ thanks, but yourΒ΄s is ingenious basket weaving indeed !!! - to lay my few base geometries flat on the floor and to copy paste them is not difficult at all - but how did you bend your fabric like a tire ?!

                              Thanks, HornOxx. I really don't remember how I did it, but your Metal Fabric is much more impressive to me. Well done πŸ‘ !

                                Nice work, would love to see this applied as skin to a building.
