Modeling notes

  • Originaly designed as a barbell bead, this piece is a nice demonstration of Cybermesh software by Knoll Software. A greyscale to heightfield conversion program with the ability to map the output heightfield onto plane surfaces, cylinders or spheres.
  • The inset render shows a projection onto a sphere
  • The original art was a map projection. The bitmap retouched and contrast enhanced then the grid added.
      
 
Model for milling

  • Shown is a projection onto a cylinderical surface.
  • The planar surface produces a supporting axle when milled using a rotary axis for longitude
