This design was part of the Christmas decoration competition held by MyMiniFactory, and was designed in the Vectary 3D design tool.
The entire concept came to mind very simply, after I created a Snowflake using an online Snowflake generator and transformed it into a 3D design (
Which was featured by Vectary), I had a stroke of genius (I thought) and tried to use a Mesh editor to form my snowflake into a Bauble to hang from the tree.
When I attempted this, I noticed the model couldn't bend enough to work as a bauble, but a friend next to me mentioned it looked like a small bowl or candle holder.
I immediatly refined the design a bit, polished it up, and got a copy printed for my family, and here we are !
