3. Faceted Skin tutorial
- Create 12″x2″x6″ boundary
- Create T-Spline plane with X=6 Y=3 subdivision
- Triangulate each face
- Move verts, edges, and faces around
- Create a new layer and trace each triangle
- Copy all triangle to Y direction by 0.25″
- Grab 2 corresponding triangles and “PlanarSrf” and “Loft” to create closed Polysrf
- Change Construction Plane to each triangle, offset curve by 0.06″ and 0.06″
- Extrude new outer triangle (both sides) by 0.125″
- Extrude new inner triangle (both sides) by 2″
- Boolean Difference original triangle solid with 2 new triangles to create a frame condition
- Repeat the process for all the triangles
- 3D Print the frame
- For each face, determine either opaque and transparent, and lasercut 1/16″ plexiglass
- Lasercut 6″ tall scale figure
4. Conceptual diagram for the skin
