SRZ Tower

Random Cross Line Facade

Used another tip from @HS_Kim’s 2.5 year old solution, the painfully slow Trim Solid to subtract the pipes from the surface, leaving a “negative” image - holes where strips are wanted and vice-versa. Working with compound surfaces in this model, I had to map those edges to a planar surface before creating a “positive” image Boundary Surface with a surrounding rectangle. Finally, SrfMorph is used to map/morph the holed planar surface back to the compound original. Trim Solid takes 1.6 minutes …

I prefer the method described here. Its results depend on the shape and point of departure but there is a continuity (just one thread/filament)

Walking on shapes

Here some old renders of a single curve “walking” on different shapes. There is just one thread ! [geodesic line.effectsResult] [skull.effectsResult] [geodesic line_geom409_seed1jpg.effectsResult] [geodesic line2.effectsResult] [cube1] [polyedra]
