I am running out of time. We have a long weekend coming up for Eid. The server room is shutting down for 3 days. I can come in on Saturday or Sunday to submit my entry, but between now & then there will be no posting. Believe it or not I don't have either internet or TV in my flat, just a guitar and a laptop.
So very quickly, here are a couple more experiments. This is based on curtain panels. I wanted to make a maize cob. So started out with the sweet potato, tweaked the rig so the curves of the spline are very slight, and changed the profiles to simple circles.
I used a curtain panel from my "slug it out" post. Very simple rectangle-based lump.
Cranking up the height parameter gives some sort of sea-slug, which randomises quite effectively too.
What about other pattern types ? I did a quick foray into the world of hexagons. Thought about how to make a bulge and came up with a 3-surface form.
First load gave me an extreme height to width ratio. I wasn't going for a pine cone, but I'll take it.
Played around with slightly less extreme values and a bit of randomising & that was that.
Expect a monster post on Sunday, along with some downloads. Wish me luck.
