This is a companion video to my recent 3dsmax tutorial, in which we translate the process of modeling this shape to Blender 2.75, for 3d printing or digital design. The techniques shown here employ standard polygonal modeling tools, and no plugins or addons are necessary. The Dynamic Spacebar, Pie Menus, and Icons:Dev addons are enabled, but not required, for this tutorial.

If you’re interested in the 3dsmax version of this tutorial, you can find that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPlygNa38Xw

  1. Nice work!… …but you could avoid dissolving the edges that was created during the joining process by simply "remove doubles" after selecting the 6 vertex involved and adjust the merge distance to reduce the count to 3, that would allow you to "f" making triangular faces from these vertices and get a more constant topology… …anayway, it's always cool to see people experimenting "out of the box"! 😉

  2. Great video!
    Would you say that making iterations 4 will be adequate
    for printing a piece of organic style jewelry making it smooth enough not to need any work after printing?
    I heard that nurbs may be better…..is that true?

  3. In the videos I've seen where you create the same objects in 3dsmax and Blender, the one thing that seems inferior in Blender is the Select Similar command.  In Max, it seems to work almost like magic, selecting exactly what you intend almost every time.  In Blender, I've seen it's much less accurate, and requires more playing around.  Why is that?  What is the differences?
