Fort & Dragon

thingiverse

OpenSCAD and Sculptris are two distinct modeling tools that offer a fascinating fusion opportunity, particularly when it comes to models featuring regular patterns or mathematical intricacies. One year ago, I successfully merged OpenSCAD with Sculptris in my "Dragon - proof of concept" project on Thingiverse. The curve of the dragon's body was based on the bezier_curve function from OpenSCAD's library, while its scales were arranged using the along_with module for maximum efficiency. The torus knot fort is another excellent example that showcases the strength of programmable tools like OpenSCAD in modeling repetitive elements. It only makes sense to combine forts with dragons, so I brought them together and made sure the code was as natural and effortless as possible. That's where Sculptris comes into play, providing a more organic feel to the model.
