Best way to create these flowing bands in Plasticity?
Hi everyone! 👋 I'm still fairly new to Plasticity and I'm currently working on my first bigger project: an abstract sculpture that I want to 3D print as a gift for a physiotherapy practice. I'm struggling a bit with the flowing bands that wrap around the central figure. I want them to look organic and smooth, with changing curves and distances from the body – not just like simple helices around a cylinder. I've attached my reference image. How would you approach creating these bands in Plasticity? Would you build them from 3D curves and surfaces, use lofts/xNURBS, create a larger surface and cut the bands out of it, or use a completely different workflow? I'm not looking for someone to model it for me – I'd just really appreciate some pointers on the best approach and which Plasticity tools I should focus on. Thanks for any tips! 🙂

Quickly: Start with spirals with one revolution or less, then rebuild several times until you get the right shape, modifying the curve accordingly. Finally, use a pipe with the appropriate diameter and number of vertices – apply pipe scaling. The most time-consuming part is the profiles for the curves.

A little classic. Most iconic handheld game console in history. All modelled in Plasticity, apart from the Mario figure, made in ZBrush.

For your application, you can use the new Plasticity feature "Export hidden line." This allows you to create any projection of a given model. Available by pressing the F key. File saved as SVG.
Tablet use for Plasticity?
Nikita - thank you for all your hard work!!! I see you use a tablet of some kind to do you work... is it easy to setup and use?

I use XP Pen tablet Deco Pro and works well with Plasticity. I use MOI3D profile in preferences.
