Apply texture to shape

[sofia]

Hi,

I would like to apply a texture to a shape but don't know how to go about it.

Most of the part of the drop shape (not the cut-out) should have a texture of thick convex stripes with a width that follows the width of the shape  (greater width at the widest part of the shape). I would also like each stripe to have a rounded end. Please see illustration below.  Any ideas of how this can be done in fusion?

Many thanks,

Sofia

Similar to this ?

Hi,

Sorry for being unclear. What I am after is more of a sculpted surface with deep grooves that runs from the top of the shape down to the bottom and then up to the back. Let me know if attached drawings explain it better.

Many thanks

First of all thank you for these nice hand sketches!

I really wish more users would make that sort of effort to explain the problem. 

In Fusion 360 you cannot just apply a 3D texture, you'll have model this one way or another. The shape I created in the screenshot in my last post was very easy to generate as a T-Spline/Form/Sculpt.

This model is more difficult, but let me see what I can come up with. It'll likely be also be a T-Spline.

In your first post, the ridges seem to be variable width and radiating out from center. In you hand drawn sketches, they seem to be constant width and parallel to each other. Which is it?

Hi Chris,

Ridges is the word I was looking for, thank you:) The first illustration was a bit misleading.

The ridges have a variable width harmonizing with the objects width, however they are not radiating out from centers but instead from the upper part of the object.

Kind Regards,

Sofia

I'm glad the sketches worked for describing the surface:)

Looking forward to see what you come up with.

Kind Regards,

Hi @TrippyLighting and @chrisplyler,

Which 3D software would you recommend for this design?

All best
