Illusion Vase

This vase was designed in SelfCAD for the MyMiniFactory SelfCAD Design Competition.
This can be a great addition to liven up your home or workplace by simply printing out and adding flowers or other decorations!
It was a bit tricky to photograph the textures on the vase because of how subtle the illusion texture is... but in person the texture came out quite nice.
Check out the video I took while modeling the vase using selfCAD by following the link: https://youtu.be/SdOn7B86eX8
Steps involve using the "Image to 3D" command within SelfCAD to create the raised edges along the sides of the vase. I then copied and joined the pattern several times to create a rectangular form.
Once a merged the sides together I created a base for the vase and merged the base to the rest of the body.
I then used the "taper" command in the deform toolbar to create the narrower opening towards the top of the vase. After the taper command I used the "twist" command to create a simple yet elegant curvature to the piece.
Once the design was complete I used the "magic fix" to make sure that everything was joined together and ready to export for 3D printing.
