Trying to do specific floral design in 3d

[randomi7e]

Hi guys, I am pretty new on this logicial and I would like to know if someone could help me here :

I don’t see how could I complete an element of a design that I am doing rn.

I want to do like a floral cylindric design without any sharp border that needs to come out a flat rectangular plaque. I feel like there is something simple but I scratch my head trying not fruitful things.

I put some elements to help you seeing what I can’t properly describe just above

Thanks a lot guys and ty for your time!

I’m not fully sure I understand your description — it sounds a bit unclear. Do you mean you’d like the cylinder to join the plaque with a smooth rounded base, instead of a sharp edge?

Like so?

I think he want’s something like spiral cloud, like tear drop, or poop

Maybe something like this?

[randomi7e]

hahahahhahaha, it can be seen as a drop, but i want it to be on a silver plaque embosses as such

for the base it looks like what i want, but for the the material that comes out… Is it working if you round off the drop so that you have something in round relief ?
here is something that looks like what I need to do on shapr

thank you guys!

For this I would recommend Blender, I have done some ornate designs for frames and for architectural art deco styling, it’s just easier in Blender.

Are you trying to create one off? Small piece?

[randomi7e]

I forced something (horribly i have to say) but the blue part is the rendering that i seek for all the drop and not just a part of it, and thanks for the tuto on blender, but does it means that this is quiet impossible to do it on shapr3d ? ty!

[SCALEMODEL]

Impossible? It’s possible the tricky part is the spiral part.

If I just need to do one I wouldn’t mind putting the effort, but if I had to create series with different patterns I would skip Shapr and work on it with something that has 3d Curves.

Take a look here for inspiration:

Tapered Spiral

Hi! Brand new here, and fairly new to Shapr3D. I’m trying to make a tapered spiral. I’m trying to recreate a chameleon’s tail shape. I’ll include pics below. I got as far as revolving a circle around axis to the amount of revolutions and length, but when I went to scale or change one of the ending circle profiles, it didn’t work… any way on how to achieve the chameleon tail? I’ll include pics below. Thank you. [image]

I know this will not help, but hoping we get 3d curves.

Because if we did have it we can get some nice shapes easily like this, made it in another program (visualized in Shapr).

I just played with what i did, i copied it to have the couple and flipped the other one and this is what i got, i think i will keep this for the moment…. it is not that bad since it is a prototype that i will print.

i’ll keep you updated if i find something less scratchy (seems so easy in my mind to do it but so hard on the logicial)

ty guys again and don’t hesitate to add material

Hi,
Sometimes, when I’m caught up in time, I use Adobe Illustrator for engravings or reliefs.
Illustrator > menu Effect > 3D
and Export in USDA > Import it in Shapr3d.
And when I need a more sophisticated model, I use Xnurbs.

[SCALEMODEL]

Looks good, when you have lot of it and in a pattern it’s good enough!

I’d recommend ZBrush on the iPad…the software is $99 a year right now, but this is the type of work I do in ZBrush…I use ZModeler, which is their hard-surface modeling.
