Unusual uses for the Extrude tool :)

Then the statistical distribution of shapes drawing from a circle or ring by bevel types in Extrude tool (that is probably neither exactly statistical distribution, but so a kind of analyse )

[Gare]

That looks like either a passel or a gaggle, csehz, non-technically speaking.

like it

the thing about gary's [well chosen] demographic is they are all known to have different names so you cannot use statistics to analyse the naming distribution... [but gary knows this I am sure]

Made an attempt at the extruded book Gary posted.

Finished the book off with stand extrusion from Gary's video.

Wasn't happy about the finish on the pages of the book so added a few alterations to it and the stand

I like this third one Stygg, assumingly behind the book there is a wall and like that can stand like that on the top of the column :-)

The next step would be maybe extrude text to the book, with some extrude depth 2, maybe that allows some shining

Cheers for the comment csehz, I will have a go at putting some text in the book, may be something like "The Book of Csehz" Those four dark shapes on the pages are not part of the extrusion, they are transparencies I added for effect.

It's a beautiful and imaginative combination of the "old" and the "new", stygg. You did this quite well!

In fact, back when I lived in Manhattan, a large publisher, Random House, had their offices on 2nd Ave in the 50s. And in the atrium when you first walked in was a copy of the OED, oversized, perched on a pedestal, very reminiscent of your creation there!

My Best,

Thank you for your kind comment Gary. I based the image on a stone book and stand in my local church I remembered when I was a boy. Thats going back a few years or more!
