It’s hard to tell but in the picture above around the face off the watch there are these sections of extruded diamond like patterns. I want to create this effect without using a texture. My first attempt at it I simply created a grid out of loop cuts. Then I subdivided them to get a center vertex and simply grabbed the center and moved along the local z to extrude each square to a diamond. In my mind this should of been fine but the result is not at all what I wanted. Does anyone have any other ideas/methods to get the desired effect?
I am new to 3D-modeling, just started last month so if I am going about this the wrong way please feel free to say so.
