How do I create rose petlas?

Konrad Kuc Mar 14, 2014 9:38 PM

Hello everyone,

I just put together my first 3D prniter and now I am trying to get in touch with my artistic side. Currently I am trying to create a rose, but I am having trouble with it. I am working off of the design in this link. The interior petals were no problem , but I am having trouble creating the over lapping petals in the 3rd and 4th layers.

I have been trying to create a sweep feature using spline curves and then creating a circual pattern, but it does not look right. Is there a different way I can approch this? Thanks for the input!

Can you post your model of what you have so far? Tom

  Thanks, Im going to try dissect these designs.
  
  EDIT: I was looking at the rose by le tinh. I understand the way the main shape of the petals was created. I see he was using a surface trim to cut the petals to look nice. Does does this tool only work with thin features?

    Konrad,
    
    A Surface Trim only works with surfaces, which are extremely thin features.
