3dsmax scatter tool – modelling Terzani Lamp Orten’zia

 We have during our work, a good solution i think to modelling an object like Orten’zia lamp, by Terzani using 3dsmax scatter tool
This tool is not well known as others in 3dsmax, but in some situations it’s very useful, and with this is possibile to get shapes that otherwise would be very complicated to solve. In this case we applied a simple lookalike flower shape, like the one on the real lamp, over a geosphere, and in very few passages we achieved a good result. And it might have been even better with more attempts.

simple flowere shape, using lines and edit poly

geosphere

select scatter

scatter has effect

in scatter there are many way to duplicate an object that can change completely the shape. 3dsmax scatter offers a really wide range of possibilities and solutions

Final result.
