dizingof, Your latest piece is an interesting shape, to be sure. I'm curious, though - the renders you've shown seem remarkably noisy, compared to your previous metal renders. I wonder if you noticed and attempted to compensate for this. I'm guessing the artifacts could be from dimension compression (shrinking the images from the render size causing pixelation), or from a large number of self-reflections. No offense intended - it just struck me as odd. It seems to me that these renders are not quite up to your normal high standards. I wish I could offer more constructive criticism, but I have not achieved anything close to the sorts of renders you use to simulate the appearance of printed objects for your sales.
I appreciate your comment - i did meant it to render as grainy-metallic. Its not rendered in this case to simulate for ex: polished silver. Btw, the big Z Shell you liked , someone ordered it in Stainless Steel - hope he'll post some pics
Can you provide a link to the helpful parametric modeling threads you referenced previously? Not asking you to reveal your trademark secrets but if you could point us to some resources you may have used in the past to learn this type of modeling it would be very appreciated. thanks
Your work is amazing!! I saw some great art in TopMod gallery but your expertise and creativity is exceptional.
Wow Thank you. The 2 last models i posted were made with topmod + extra parametric modeling work - they are the same model.... the last one is a flattened version of the one before it - all the tentacles crushed on the ball's surface which instantly reminded me a "wormhole" apertures.

This one's base made with K3dsurf using Klien4D, 4D HyperObject. Each Shell is intertwined with the other. Double Shell 100mm - Math Art
Spectacular! Which one would you recommend for a novice, TopMod or K3dsurf? Are these files esy to 3d printing or you need massive massaging in Blender.
With topmod you'll get solid objects, with k3dsurf only surfaces which require additional work. Test the waters with topmod - there are lots of tutorials on YouTube.
This one is called Lawson Helicoidal , a strange and mind boggling.. Lawson Helicoidal 100mm - Math Art
