Off Hairball's idea, I decided to make a little contest.
Create a box and don't change any of it's settings.
Add modifiers until you get what you want.
Only a camera and a box is allowed, no textures, lights, etc.
The size of the should be 640x480.
The main reason I started this context was so you could see what you can make with a six-sided box and modifiers. I want to see how complicated it gets!
I don't know what this is, but I think it might be a photomicrograph of a rhinovirus. At least it looks like it would make my nose feel like a rhinovirus makes it feel.
Repeated iterations of linear subdivision and halftone build. You can set different numbers of iterations of the subdivs* and different amounts for the halftones for varying effect.
A large linear subdiv followed by some simple deformations to produce a very elegant shape (imho).
A variant on the above.
Note: * I've minimized the subdiv levels in the attached file so that it doesn't bring your computer to its knees. The rendered model had ~1.5M polygons and my Mac did not enjoy it terribly much.
This was a bit fun to create, made an engine fan blade based on the contest rules. I was half way tempted to animate it, but that would be modifing it outside the contest scope I think.
Hi.
The box plus ring plus wrap plus subdivision modifier and animated the "from cenital angle" at the wrap modifier.
