Rhino tennis ball

[avramidis3d]

Hey guys,

long time no see. I’m a Rhino oldie and came for an old tool that created a tennis sphere, divided equally to 2 tennis ball parts.

It existed in earlier versions on Rhino, but not on V4 or 5.

If anyone has an old version, or a plugin-script-tool that makes that, please share with no regrets…

Cheers and thanks in advance!

Thanks Dale, you saved my day!

Is there any reason you removed this wonderfull tool?

Hi Dimitris - what do you use this style of sphere for?

thanks,

Hi Pascal,

there is a request for a large scale tennis ball model, and wanted a good base to start with.

[pascal (Pascal Golay)]

Ah, OK! special purpose then! I’m not sure the seams are quite the same as on a real tennis ball, you might want to verify.

thanks,

-Pascal

Yep, it has to be more like an “eight shape” than a “rounded rectangle”.

Thanks to both for the quick response!
