... Hi All, I´m just playing around with only 2 components, trying to imitate a metal fabric This little exercise is native SkUp modeled. Beside Follow Me, just copying and rearranging, mirror, rotate and move. [SkUp 2017 Make, Enscape 2.6.1]

Really interesting work HorNox  Did you come up with the weave?

many thanks Liam - yes and no something "horseshoe"-shaped like this I had seen before. The wavy wires were an attempt to connect these rows then.

... thanks again - to be honest, I have no idea if something like this would be possible in real life. Playing with weavings(?) is interesting however and fun

Excellent modeling, but man, it must make for a large file size?

Thanks Box and Bryan Bryan K wrote:...it must make for a large file size?
wich would be true  especially since I have modelled these small tubes dilettantishly bad and way to big. But since I made a proxy from only one fabric part, for the final rendering model I just added these light proxies. (The SkUp screenshot above I made just to show the simple weave principle)

Very impressive work! Obviously took a lot of thought and planning. I remember congratulating myself when I made this, but your work makes mine seem like basket weaving  . 2020-01-31_032320.png

Wow Hellnbak  thanks, but your´s is ingenious basket weaving indeed !!! - to lay my few base geometries flat on the floor and to copy paste them is not difficult at all - but how did you bend your fabric like a tire ?!

Thanks, HornOxx. I really don't remember how I did it, but your Metal Fabric is much more impressive to me. Well done  !
