For the 3D printed Free Model I wanted to create something classic and complex. So I have decided to explore the Fibonacci Sequence. Originally I was inspired by the work of John Edmark.
Fibonacci Zoetrope Sculpture designed and 3D printed by John Edmark.
Originally I pursued creating a conch shell:
Ghosted Rhino Visual.
Keyshot Rendering of Conch Shell.
but upon further difficulty transferred my endeavor to look into the intersecting spirals found in pine cones, artichokes, sunflowers, succulents etc. that also follow the Fibonacci Sequence.

For my final model I used basic modeling techniques, free creation of a curve, UV curve projection, ribbon curve, extrude, array, and boolean union and boolean difference to create this model.
Ghosted model with zero naked edges.
When it came time to render my model, I was conflicted between simple two tones of wood, or something that would emphasize how the spirals contrast more than just the geometry of the design.
Below I used a dark walnut for the orb, glass for the counterclockwise spirals, and emissive light for the clockwise spirals. This could likewise be accomplished with the use of fiber optics.
