Organic Sphere Print
Printed model of Organic Sphere: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/organic-sphere?context=latest The print is about 5cm diameter, and really satisfying object to hold. Very tactile. Printing it black was actually a mistake, i had it set up as monochrome, and i forgot it was a coloured mesh. But i like the effect. My phone was have trouble taking photos of the black print, luckily Daniel Shiffman's processing books made a vibrant makeshift studio on my desk, to be able to pick out details. The photos make it look alot flatter and lumpier than the physical print. Its very spherical. www.tyrertecture.com

Cool! Did you use exoskeleton for this?

Thanks JS. No i didn't use exoskeleton, i started with it, but moved on. While exoskeleton is a fun tool. It wasn't flexible enough for what i wanted. 1. Curves not Lines. 2. Organic massing, where it bulges at the meeting points, and thins over longer members. 3. Exoskeleton meshes around the lines so wont merge close proximity meshes unless you create a line etc
But exoskeleton is cool! I previously used it to make this one. You can see how perfect the 'pipes' are in comparrison

Did you see these organical stools? Looks a little too tactile for actually sitting...

Yes i was very dissapointed in the chairs. Widrig's usual work is stunning. But i suppose the technical innovation makes up for it. As i said in last post, my personal favourites are Sibylle Pasche
