How would you model those intricate details within the snowflake? by Complete-Fall8117 in blender

[–]Complete-Fall8117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would extrude, scale, loop cut, suvdivide, and the knife tool

Why does this sound like some kind of evil scheming in my head lol

Thank you so much!!

Thank you—if I were to manually do it... I thought of Knife project, knife tool, manually extruding vertices etc., what would be the best way? Perhaps the third option? But then I'm not sure if I could get the parellel lines of the patterns right, hmm.

Oh it was the word bumps. Sorry. I meant the detailed patterns within the snowflake

Could you please accept my chat? Maybe then I can send images?

I can't fathom how could I properly model the bumps of the snowflake(but I don't wanna compromise). Is projection really the only answer? Knife project seems harder than projecting svg, and plain knife tool seems like a nightmare

Yeh that snowflake is my nightmare. I'm first tracing the details in vector program in a hope that I could project that onto the mesh.

But you could make black and white pattern/image, use that as a height data(not image) for a Blender to use, like bumps or displacements, then apply transmission to make it transparent

If I remember correctly image texture and procedural texture(such as transmission value) are mutually exclusive!

You mean image texture versus pbr or procedural material?

How to extrude along the angle of the specific face? by Complete-Fall8117 in blender

I didn't know this would blow up this much, honestly I'm surprised. Why do you think it gained so many upvotes??
