We were speaking in another thread about breaking Full Color Sandstone models for testing purpose, and this gave me an idea: what about a model you actually had to break?
For instance an egg. You would do that to discover a hidden message inside.
Here is the concept:

The shell has a lot of little holes that make the structure more fragile and easy to break. Because of the new rule I had to make a bigger hole on the bottom to allow the support material to go out, but this ruins a little bit the concept because the secret message could be read without breaking the egg (although I tried to write the message around the hole).
If it works, I will do it as a co-creator, but I still have to think about how to hide better the message without making it difficult to remove the support material...
What do you think?

Thank you all.
Here is the new version:

With a thicker bottom, you can hardly see anything written in the lower part (lower than the small holes).
And the lower inertia center should make the egg stand vertically.

I still have to figure out how to save properly the texture coordinates in the WRL though...
