40. Re: Create concave effect for isometric drawing?
Jacob Bugge May 18, 2011 1:06 AM (in response to jdtrent)This makes at least one nuisant nuisance (or nitpicking nitpicker) wonder:
Why not just make the flatline isometric and then give it a few rescue breaths, lifting (copies of) the relevant parts/anchor points, as suggested somewhere between posts 9/11 (unless a distinctly/clearly visible curved surface is needed)?

41. Re: Create concave effect for isometric drawing?
Steve Fairbairn May 18, 2011 2:21 AM (in response to Jacob Bugge)It sometimes gets a bit complicated, even in iso.
The grey area in my latest drawing is supposed to be curved while the central white area is flat.
I suppose you could do it by nudging anchor points up or down but I don't know how to calculate by how much on a supposedly spherical surface. The advantage of the mapping method is that you can fix the curvature (the size of the symbol relative to the size of the sphere).

Jacob Bugge May 18, 2011 3:26 AM (in response to Steve Fairbairn)Indeed. My suggestion(s) should be seen as a non spherical alternative/supplement. In any case, the moving/nudging should be done using the (same) general scale for moving things.

Thanks for the help! I think that's just what I'm looking for. All the comments have been a big help.

This has been entertaining :-)
