Subject: [Puptcrit] Foam Pattern Balls:  LINKS


>From the start of my current foam patterning learnings, I have been 
wondering about wether making a straight or curved-edge wedge. My first 
attempts were made with the curved, therefore more spherical, while the 
later attempts using a formula calling for straight edges, gave me results 
closer to diamond facets.
I'm still looking for a tennis ball pattern.
It almost makes me believe there is a worldwide consipracy forbidding the 
display of the original shape of a tennis bal covering, before it was 
curved...
I do own a tennis ball, but dismantling it would only give me a concave 
shape, when I need a flat one.


Here are therefore other ways of doing things.

this site's booklets seem to be the best and most acurate I could find. I 
will know when I test some of the patterns.

This one is tricky. It's a texture map for 3D software. I wonder if it 
relates to reality enough for me to use it in real-life.
