form transition catalog?
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2011 4:51 pm
I've been trying to make my first major project: The Tokyo Sky Tree. I don't have enough pieces currently, so I've just made individual sections with the intention of joining them all together later (and I may have to photoshop the final product...). One challenge that I keep encountering is transitioning from one shape to another. I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel.
While it might be fun to go through the trial and error of doing this, I'm thinking that accelerated learning facilitated by a catalog of basic form transitions would be helpful and get people on to greater challenges.
One example. If I have a basic hexagon with a radius of one geomag bar, what transitional shapes would I go through to make a square shape approximately the same size? (this particular problem is not the issue; it is just an example.)
If there is a list of such transitions, could someone please point me in the right direction? If there isn't, I might get the ball rolling on this and begin one myself.
