Hi I’m looking for the best way to create a beautiful heighliner (see images) in threejs. I’ve been thinking about a cylinder within a cylinder but I’m lost on textures. Does anyone have a decent solution? [retro-visor-scr00006] [retro-visor-scr00007-e]

You could start with LatheGeometry to make the shape, then manually add notches in the middle and squash/shear it. As to the texture, a similar pattern could be created procedurally in the shader code. I doubt it’s gonna be as beautiful though, you will get better results if you sculpt the shape i…

why would you even consider creating that in threejs? this is a clearcut case for blender if there ever was one. :smiley: in order to texture something you need to uv-unwrap and then fit the textures, that is a manual process. the time it takes you to learn how to make and texture that shape won’t b…

[image] drcmda: why would you even consider creating that in threejs? Why not? :sweat_smile: It’s harder and longer, of course, but gives more fun (spent about an hour for that scene) [image] tfoller: You could start with LatheGeometry My first thought was exactly about that geometry…

not so bad actually :smiley: how’d you texture it though? has still a little bit to go until it reaches Spacing Guild's Heighliner - 3D model by retro.visor2814 [0474662] - Sketchfab

Ok, I’m cheating because I used my code to turn Bezier curves from Flash to THREE, but here is a quick take on it using Lathe geometry: [image]

[image] drcmda: how’d you texture it though? By computing new UVs in shader, I guess :sweat_smile: [изображение]

getting close, well if anybody can do it with just basic shapes and code it it’s you.

Holy moly, this is so beautiful and what a champ to take on this challenge head on. Are you available to comission work? I kind of want to pursue this to the end.

@Bunnynomics_NomNom I would recommend to take @tfoller 's approach, with LatheGeometry, as it’s easier to manage. By the way, why do you want it to be build with three.js? If your model doesn’t need to be dynamic, then @drcmda 's advice is also an option, to build the model in Blender.
