Sunflower Clock
Measurements:
Diameter 29.5" D 3"
Designed in the 1950s, George Nelson's clocks were highly successful both as popular consumer products and icons of high design. One of the most original American designers, Nelson used pure color and bold graphic forms to make a statement still as compelling today as it was half a century ago.
Modeling
The petals of the clock are created from a curve in the shape of a half petal.
The curve is then extruded and mirrored to create a single petal, that is finally dulpicated and rotated using DUPLIROT.
The clock center is created using both ROTATIONAL_SOLID and ROTATIONAL_SURFACE.
The clock's hands are generated using MKRECT and BEZIER.
In the PlasmJs model, thanks to a javascript function, the clock mark the current time, and the hands rotation is updated every minute. In this way the model is dynamic and can even used as a real clock!
