        ... 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 😄

                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)

                    Cool. That makes sense.

                      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 😆 .

                        Wow Hellnbak 😍 👍 thanks, but your´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 👍 !

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