Process + Procedure

I went straight to modeling because I wanted to just play around with lofting and allow the shape to come about naturally. I started with a circle on the ground plane, then created two offset planes above it. On the uppermost offset plane I sketched another circle. On the center plane I played around with several circular patterns before settling on a triangular geometric pattern repeated around in a circle. Then I lofted those three shapes to get the final shape, then thickened the walls and extruded the base to finish off the body. I was pretty loose with the dimensions because I knew I could rescale it in the slicer if needed.
