Cicely Miller Waffle Planetarium

My waffle design is inspired by the UT Planetarium building.  A planetarium is a theatre that is built mainly for presenting educational and entertaining shows about astronomy and the night sky.  With this in mind, I wanted to design a modern and space-like design.

I first started by building my model and made sure I applied the Boolean Difference command. Next, I named my labels and used the contour command for both the x and y directions.  I also applied the planar curves to each layer (x and y).

After modeling, I used the two scripts called cut my ribs and massive unroll.  Once this was completed, I colored my numbers red, regrouped and laid out the individual pieces on a rectangle plane. I used two different materials for my KeyShot renders.  The first render I used plastic material.  The second render I used axalta and stone.
