Concepts/Experiments

I'm still getting a handle on the software side of things so these concepts are coming out a lot like experiments in using the software.

Lotus/Wheel Concept

Some quick concepts combining the lotus flower with the eight spoked wheel (a lotus flower with eight "sides")

Experimenting in TopMod, creating a simple shape from a tetrahedron.

TopMod3d is a free, open source, portable, platform independent topological mesh modeling system that allows users to create high genus 2-manifold (watertight) meshes.

Then playing with the shape in Rhino to create an eight sided lotus.
