3D lamp designing tips

[algebram]

hi everyone, I was going to ask how to make a few models that many people who use 3d printing are familiar with in Sketchup in the most reasonable way. Maybe need to explain necessary plug-ins or methods simply like one of the users explanation (i cant remember the name of) .

I would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance

1_ First one has tiny cells os the surface. This method that is used quite a lot
2_These types of drawing are quite suitable method for the 3d printers
3_Drawing section and bending it and array maybe?
4_i wonder this one
5_I think its like number 2
6_Draw a section then follow me tool i guess

These types of forms in SketchUp would be best suited to subdivision modelling.

But my opinion would be to use Blender as it will handle high poly counts much more efficiently than SketchUp. Plus it has much more non-destructive methods to save you from disaster.

Those complex forms are best learned by brute forcing it yourself. You will fail but learn as you do.
