Okay, first time I am trying to get some help here on the forum, I am pretty new to gp, ( the file attached will probably make some eyes roll…), but here we go…
I am visual artist ( sculptor) and I am referring to this particular painting by Eugene Delacroix from 1834 (?) …
Apart from it being a milestone when it comes to the use of colour, I am particularly interested in the pattern and space created. I re created the floor pattern, it is quite important that the triangles are patterned ( as I bake it and export it as vector to produce plotter drawings from it, ideally I would like to have just parallel lines rather than triangles, but I could not figure out how to do this))
First problem: I think this can be done more economically?( the calculations do take ages, even on my 16" powerful Mac…)
I also re created one of the glasses in the dim end of the picture, projecting this pattern is okay, but I want to cover the glass evenly with this pattern, whatever I did, I can’t find a solution…
Would be very appreciated if someone could sort this out…
best

Brilliant, thanks so much, yes, it works much faster, and a big insight as to how to approach a problem from a different angle, I am still trying to figure out how to cover the triangle in parallel lines though ( like a hatch), as I plot them out with an axidraw, triangulations take forever to plot out…
but thanks a mil, very good insight indeed…
Sorry, I looked at your file in my morning haze, yes, I still don’t understand fully how you got there, but I think triangles are particularly tricky…This is brilliant, as I can branch things off at clean tree or entwine stages if I want different shadings, thanks so much!
