ATEC-FAB UTDallas

For the lamp project I wanted to refer back to the lamps of old which used actual flames for light. I felt like the tear-drop shape used in most of the lamp examples worked well as a flame as well. As opposed to making a more realistic "swooshing" flame, I decided to create a more stylized version to better demonstrate what the shape is supposed to be.

For modeling, I create the 4 circular shapes, then made a single curve that had the sillouette I wanted. From there I modified it to have wisps coming off of the sides. I used 3 unique curves, 2 across from each other, then the last was duplicated 3 times and used between the others. I used the pipe method to create the slots in each section.

Unfortunately, I thought I had already made this blog post with the required photos, but without the finished product, as I had done for the serial slice project and the waffle posts, but it seems like I did not. As such, and since I do not own Rhino, I only have the pictures of the finished product.
