Creating a Hexagonal Mesh on a Sphere

hi welcome to a 9x12 widget eternal I want to do that hexagon grill now and sing the Knicks which went very well very sort of easy to do and please note those hexagons have all the same size but those reps between those hexagons are not equally sized because you cannot cover a sphere with equally sized hexagons but let's affirm with sympathetics okay let's start with a sketch on my set playing this one okay I need a circle time it could be 'the 600 no need some lines to trim okay make those two for construction only trim close arrange those two points horizontal and give it a dimension and that might be let's say 60 degrees or 80 degrees where were the other finished that sketch and now let's make a wall of course it should be sheet with that sketch around look this excess and go from minus 40 and 40 and confirm all right that sketch and I would need a copy of the Sun so I would extracted the geometry that geometry highlight original and it okay now I need a plane which is tangent to that surface and the reference would be this plane okay let's go for a sketch maybe hide that extracted surface for the moment go to that plane confirm I need a hexagon like that close arrange deadline and that axis perpendicular and give it a dimension of my clothes let's see finish that sketch and hide that plane for the moment bring back our extracted surface now I want to project this hexagonal to that surface to cover menu insert derived curve and I want to project yes I want to project that sketch onto this object along face normal and okay now let's hide the sketch and trim that surface of a trim sheet I want to remove that that's the tortured and this is the boundary and it's this girl so it should work nice now I want to pattern this one let's bring back our original surface just to see yeah that's okay all right I want to pattern it so pattern geometry I want to pattern this geometry around x-axis turn it around I want to cover six and three degrees distance but now I can clock those instances and that's great feature user-defined go for an angle around the y-axis and make it one point seven five degrees okay then clock this one [Music] again user-defined again angle around this axis again of one-point-seven-five okay the last one o'clock user-defined go for an angle select the access again 1.75 degrees and that's really nice now let's that's thickened those surfaces so go to second I want to go for 1 - 1 millimeter first okay no let's hide those sheet bodies and let's do a pattern so therefore home geometry and I want to pattern those bodies 6 vector should be the y-axis no in instances with 3.5 pitch angle and ok then I want to mirror that so go for more mirror geometry [Music] well the plane would be of course the set Y plane and fly and now mirror but Adam and Murakami tree this one but not this one and the plane would be in this case the set explained and okay great that's nice okay now I need another copy of my reward so we'll go for an extract extract geometry but fix it at the time current timestamp and confirm okay now I need a scratch on that plane so show it and go for a scratch right on this plane okay that would be a rectangular centered one okay maybe like that add some dimensions this could be let's see 116 and that distance might be 300 yeah I will have to change it afterwards anyway okay finish that sketch and let's project that sketch onto that surface so go for menu insert where's my prototype curve project the sketch onto the surface and okay so that project graph looks like this at the moment yeah now let's trim so go for surface to sheet I want to trim this sheet with their projected curve confirmed let's hide that one and hide the sketch and let's see where this sheet is right now so I might change let's see that well yeah little bit yeah maybe let's change that sketch from 300 to 320 and see how this looks so that sheet let's take a closer look so that's right on that center that's no good so let's change it to 290 now I want to thicken that trim cheap so this should be thickened 0.5 and minus 3.5 now let's see if we go for a subtract I want to subtract from that thicken one the other ones so let's go for a solid body and single body that's kind of odd can I go for a selection here maybe just maybe first arranging like that and then go for the subtract this one and I want to move it selected like this see that's okay so I have to add this one and there was and on the other side let's try to select them all together like that takes a while so these are still not selected let's try once more like this I don't want to select too many so let's take a closer look so that's okay and should I maybe dislike this one so it's more symmetric yeah and okay now maybe let's hide all bodies and bring back just one that would be this one okay yeah heightened once more and I want to extend that sheet so go for surface extend sheet make it a new one new sheet and go for let's say four millimeter on all four edges apply and then hide this one and extend that one religion one by one millimeter to the inside because after all it's a personal program and that might lead to problems if I don't do it so yeah now let's hide that projected graph and second that so go for second make it maybe two up and three down - three of course like that and okay hide the sheet make some solids cause bridge planned go for ten on the inside up here and down there apply go for fifteen on the outside here no Khan selected really this one that one and this one okay looks okay maybe bring back let's on it just take a look looks pretty good now let's bring back that sheet no I need just that still here and I need sheet that would be that extended sheet this one I'll show it now extend it again make it a new one make it let's say 20 here right that one and make it one millimeter to the inside extend go for original one make it one millimeter the previous round that's more like it confirm and now thicken this one with one we needed down the conveyor surface - one coupon let's add edge plans 15 millimeter on the inside here they're responsible yes it's 20 millimeter up here on this edge no that's wrong that one this one and okay now let's bring back height the sheets first and bring back those bodies that would be this body right here that one and of course this one okay close let's take a look looks pretty good let's go for a unite I want to unite this one what's that one this one and okay I'm almost done I want to add some champers so good for 0.5 this edge apply red edge apply and maybe on this one as well okay and then done hope you enjoyed this one if you did please leave the like or leave a comment if you want to see more please give it a like leave a comment please subscribe to my youtube channel please subscribe to my facebook page rampage would be very nice of you I want to get more likes and subscriptions over there as well thanks for watching see you next one bye bye [Music]
