The Third Tile Attempt

In the previous model, I had achieved my goal of intersecting pieces creating a porous tile in which one may see different patterns at different angles as a result of the intersecting geometries. But ulitmately the model was too complex, I was having difficulty selecting different pieces and completely controlling the pattern.

As a result I decided to take a step back. Instead of layering my pattern on itself, I created a simple model that is just one layer of the original geometry. It still conveys the shape of the object and the intersections are apparent. Until I have the actual physical model, I am unsure whether it will achieve the same porous affect that I was initially intending for the piece.













These are some images of the new model/the piece that was printed, the patterns created within it as well as some different rendered views of the piece.
