Cube derived metal tube frame and glass panel greenhouse style abstract art shape. · 模型 60899
The overall shape is derived from the cube. The first step is chamfering the edges of the cube and then projecting the resulting chamfer surfaces unto a plane perpendicular to one of the major, internal diagonals of the same cube. The respective 2D projections of each of the individual chamfer surfaces are then combined into a single, continuous, unified 2D shape with no internal separations or boundaries. Then this resulting 2D boundary or shape is extruded outwards such that its length spans and contains at least the complete length of the cube's internal diagonal. After that, a circular array, which is centered on the original cube, of 4 instances of this extrusion is created and 4 instances are boolean intersected with each other. Then a final chamfer was applied. However, turning this into a pipe frame and glass panel greenhouse style structure required additional steps: using the "flow" operation in Moment of Inspiration 4 to create long, thin solid cylinders or tubes along each hard edge of the overall shape so as to derive the pipe frame. Then painstakingly boolean merging all of the many resulting long and thin tubes together into a frame or lattice before cleaning the joints of gaps or holes by deleting the hole sidewalls such that the surrounding, neighboring surfaces get extended to fill in the gaps and then filleting the seams of the joint. After that I used the "shell" operation on the overall shape to hollow it out. I used the "shell" operation in the external direction so that the entire initial volume of the overall shape was hollowed out as internal empty space and the glass panels are all on the outside of it. This so that the final resulting glass panels can be mounted on the pipe frame or lattice by placement unto it from the outside. I also gave the outer or outward shell a thin wall thickness, narrower than the radius of cylindrical pipes or tubes of the lattice, so that the pipe frame is able to fully separate each of the individual glass panels from each other when subtracted from the shell through boolean difference. I then created a copy of the pipe frame to subtract this copy from the hollow shell so as to separate it into individual panels disconnected and disjointed from one another without losing the lattice itself. Finally, I cleaned up the collection of glass panels and filleted all of their respective hard edges.
