Not So Artificial Intelligence For Turning Design

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

I wanted to design a classic vase but needed inspiration and did not want to draw a design from scratch. Then I thought "Why not use the internet". But instead of looking and a picture, use the computer to take it further.
So, browse the web for a likely candidate. It will not be perfect - I only need the general shape. Then copy and paste the image into another design software.
If turning solid, some measurements and go to the lathe.
If segmenting, take the software approach further to lay out segment rings of a target height. Then let the software tell me diameters that can be plugged into a spreadsheet for final calculations.
What a boast.

The Ornament Challenge began accepting entries November 1st.

Enjoy.
