Getting to grips with Adobe Illustrator's new 3d t Getting to grips with Adobe Illustrator's new 3d tools. I'm finding being able to extrude and bevel patterns as well as export 3d models directly in AI is quicker and cleaner than a similar process in Blender. There are plenty of easy to use textures in there too. #geometry #3ddesign #pattern

Sign up at psta.org.uk •••••••••••• Twelve-fold symmetry produces some of the most versatile and flexible geometric patterns. Starting from the simplest 12 pointed star patterns and building up to more complex rosette patterns, students on this course will learn to draw 10-15 related but different patterns with ruler and compass. Working through the designs in a systematic way will help students to develop an analytical understanding of the structure of these patterns and give an insight into how the designs may have originally been discovered by the designers and craftsmen of the past. We will also explore semi-regular (Archimedean) tilings which will open the door to at least another 50 possible pattern variations. #geometry #pattern #drawing #learning #teaching #islamicgeometry
