algorithmic modeling for Rhino

The idea for this model was to try and create a bit more tectonic mass into the previous 'decay' models. The were too blobby and static, they looked too devoid of forces, too digital. So i experimented with different vortices to apply a bit more purpose into the object.

---

The inside of the structure is far more successful than the outside. The general direction and dynamic of it feels far more natural and intentional, but without losing its mass.

Beautiful. I love the directionality of it! Are you isosurfacing with Millipede?

3D systems projet 660pro, beast of a machine, and using a tiny air hose is very satisfying.

The lack of scaffold is fantastic, i definitely do not miss hours with scalpel trying to dig scaffold out of unreachable corners of a print.

Interesting, Nick!

Z corp style... baller!

ah a 3d systems printer?

the result looks good and not needing support / scaffold has got to be a good thing!

Haha thanks man. No, our printer is a powder based printer, that uses inkjet heads and binder.

Pro's: No scaffold, high fidelity, can print in colour.

Con's: Needs to be post processed with industrial strength glue, slightly rough finish (like sandstone)

is this laser sintered or SLA or...?

Looks amazing, but not the best ashtray design I've seen :)
