I wanted to make some “Anarchy” earrings and I wanted them to be “rough” looking to match the typical stylized “A”:
I imported a 2D image to get the outline and then created a randomly bumpy surface on top and bottom. An inch in diameter, they were 3D printed by Shapeways in sterling silver. I ordered two of them with slightly different finishes to compare the results:
IRL, they look thin and cheap, so I’m doubling the thickness and adding a loop for the final version.
How are you planning to attach them to the ears? Also, I like the second finish better because the edges are more rounded.
I’m adding a loop for some standard hooks like this one:
Nice effect,how did you do that?
I used a simple plugin that creates a pseudo-random mesh of triangles. I Push/Pulled the 2D outline to create the thickness and then intersected it with the mesh:
The result is some 19,000 entities for the surface.
Here’s another application of the same bumpies plugin:

Nice effect.
