Hi All,
does anyone have clue how to model such a column like shown here:
See the website here:
This is a description but it doesn’t really help me…
Thank you,
Clemens
Hello
the description of column seems to be that !
“The first step of the project involves articulating the surface of the column by using a set of profiles which rotate as they move along the length of the column, carving out material and resulting in these expressive surfaces.”.

Hello
here an example of how to do this type of column
The radius of a column is defined by :
- a periodic curve with a number defining the radial symetry (here 7 so 7 bumps)
- A base radius
- A bump height => max radius = bump height +base radius
- Relative bump height defined here with Genepool, you can put more or less points
In order to generate a mesh I took Pufferfish Mesh Pipe, but it could be surely replaced by a custom mesh pipe. The purpose is to have Points and Topology of mesh.
Points of are projected on XY plane, then rotated depending on their height then used to generate a line that is intersected with the profile curve, this give 1 or 2 radius. With these 2 values, I took the max, the min, the sum or just one value.
