Hon Hon Hon - Call me Nab, Atelier was my father

What do you do when anxiety hits at midnight ?

tackle a complex math shape in sketchup off course.

So, Dave did it first here

Off course, he used a follow me, he took the elegant path, a thin line, and pretty much any shape he wants to extrude. Since my inspiration was the lego build (thread above), I went the component route :

2 components. a corner, and an arch.

a bit of tinkering, because until you add the arches, its REALLY ABSTRACT.
Fun thing about the component mode is that at any point, you can cut one corner. and rotate the left ppart on the right to make it twice bigger. and yes, it’s still a mœbius strip of sorts.


So here again, my TCV versions. Simple, mirrored, and then… I took the double and replaced all corners and… well you get the jist. It’s basically becoming a fractal, every step, you cut all corners and extend the shape.


next step ?

well this guy has a lot of mathematically interesting things made out of lego… some inspiration here
