@Anthony C: Bwahaha!
@jblender: Thanks very much for the kind words, much appreciated! 
@Ace Dragon: Thanks for stopping by!
Awesome work Ms Vicky!! as always your flowers are beautiful!!
Thanks a bunch, girl! 
Itās the header at Blender Nation today! :eyebrowlift:
I had seen this work in Blender Nation the other day and I wondered who had done it. I really like it, it is beautiful. I would be very grateful if you tell me some clues to achieve those orange color/hue variations, like airbrush paints 
I have no idea how carbon fiber looks in reality, but I like that texture. Iām trying to mimic it:
Here I share the texture and Cycles nodes in case someone is interested:

Thanks VickyM72! Now I like even more your work, because having obtained excellent results in a simple way
Very nice! Love the colours and the symmetrical/fractal kind of look.
Very pretty Vicky!!! I love this one!!!
Funny ! Itās remind me one of my blend (made a few years ago) :
Same colors, same shape ā¦
I love abstract compositions.
Bob
@YAFU: Youāre very welcome, and thanks again!
@GLakie: Thanks very much!
@tc2466: Thank you!
@Bob: Thanks! Looks like matrix extrude from C4D(or multi-extrude from Blender), but I think the similarities end at āsame colorā
Hi Vicky,
I love that peachy thingā¦the colors, shape, contrast of materials, symmetry, lighting.
It would make a good wall pieceā¦it draws your eyes to it. Very nice altogether.
I havenāt done a lot of modeling in Blender yet, but would like to do organic āthingsā, too.
Iāve done similar things in C4D (though none so pretty), and would like to in Blender.
Youāve inspired us. :yes:
BTW, it would make a beautiful animationā¦just to move around it with the camera and/or put
a spin on it.
I likeā¦imagine the garden it came from.
@megacal: Thanks a lot! I actually got started making these things(and abstracts in general) in C4D
@Frank the Smith: Thanks very much!
Vicky,
have you ever tried 3D fractals? Here is one of my favorites created with a free app,
Mandelbulber.
Mandelbox and Flying Lights ā¦turn on the sound (Chopin), to to full screen, sit back, enjoy.
Itās something I want to do, but am having so much fun with Blender right now, it may
be a while before I spend any time on 3D fractals.
Also, if you like symmetrical objects, check out another free app, TopModā¦what a cool little app!
Something else I want to doā¦soon!
Warning! May be habit forming! :eek:
Hereās my galleries of 3D fractals at deviantARTā¦
Mandelbulber: http://vickym72.deviantart.com/gallery/28765313
Mandelbulb 3D: http://vickym72.deviantart.com/gallery/26051542
They are both pretty fun to play around with, but it helps to know a bit about fractals
As for TopMod, I used to use it quite a bit, but it is notoriously crashy as no one has done anything with it in years. You can do most of the stuff in any other 3D program, although TopMod has an amazing arch-bridge tool. I actually made the TopMod famous ālinking starsā object in Blender: http://vickym72.deviantart.com/art/Blender-s-Linking-Stars-368825280
WOW! Beautiful work! :eek:
Also your Bryce artā¦stunning. A jedi you are.
Do you post at Bryce5.com, too?
Would love to be able to create similar objects in Blenderā¦is there a tutorial
that shows how? E.g. this one. This one. Duplicate/Rotate?
Or this one. How did you twist it and add oval cutouts?
I didnāt know Blender could do this kind of modeling, but glad to know,
and Iāll try to learn how.
I like the way BI renders this kind of artā¦not realistic, but surrealistic.
Better than Cycles for this kind of artwork, imho.
Do you have any animations?
Very inspiring. Iāll add a link to your art at my website to show
what is possible with Blender.
Laterā¦going through your Sketchbook and hope to learn something. 
More laterā¦1/2 way through Sketchbook and found this tutorial link. Thanks!
Will try asap.
OMGā¦the bezier curvesā¦have you sold any prints? They would look great
in a nicely matted frame.
This is really cool. I think I saw this used advertising the blender add-on for creating architecture.
@megacal: Thanks! The oval cutouts were done with Wireframe (select faces > Ctrl + E > Wireframe), then solidified. Both of those you mentioned are Twisted Torii, squished around with a couple of modifiers. I do not have any animations, I have a pretty weak PC 
Please show me your result of my tutorial, and let me know if something didnāt work, but I think youāll be OK.
I think I have sold a postcard at deviantART, but I might make a few prints and do something with them on my own 
Thanks for the link on your website, very much appreciated!
@infinitux: Thank you very much! Got a link, Iād like to see it!
Hi Vicky,
Iām not an art critic, but your artwork is just superb, imhoā¦if you ever put it in a local gallery on the wall, I know it would sell.
Thanks for the cutout infoā¦can hardly wait to try it.
re: animatingā¦ what are the specs on your machine? How long did it take to render the object that started this thread?
I like to keep it down to <=1 min/frameā¦and if you like BI, MicroRender is great for animationā¦have you tried it?
Anyway, I hope youāll do some animation, even if itās just to rotate the object or move the camera through & around it.
I like to move the light as well to change the shadowsā¦animate the colorsā¦lots of cool possibilities.
Fluid & Softbody sims are a lot of fun, too.
Iām rocking an old eMachine, but even if I had a nice PC, animations are not at all what I am interested in. I think this render took about 20 minutes. As for Microrender, itās a demo with watermark, also not interested I like to make stills and not worry about anything else, especially working for hours on an animation that lasts 8 seconds I did actually do the BlenderDiplom tutorial on dissolving particles once: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obXhW1itcxc Thatās the extent of my animation uploads right there LOL
