Re: How to Make a CADD rose

I made a rose in solid works for 3D printing a while ago. I used surface lofts with splines and spline guide curves to make the petals. Once the surface lofts were done it was easy to thicken them to form a solid body. The base was a 6 sided prism which I twisted and bent to make it a bit more organic. I think that the flex tool as well as surfaces are your best bet for a rose.
