Introduction: White House Ornament Challenge - White House Holiday Tree
The White House Holiday Tree! 3D modeling of ornament.
Step 1: Create Rounded Cone.
Many ways to make this, but hollow it out. I did 0.10 in walls.
Step 2: Adding Stars Vertically
Create a line of stars that taper in size. Then cut/extrude this feature and do a circular pattern of this feature. 3 instances equal distance.
Step 3: Add Bows.
Create swoops/bows to mimic branches and circular pattern them the same way as stars.
Step 4: Round Off the Bottom to Bows
Add rounded skirt to bottom to accent the swoops/Bows and give a ornate base.
Step 5: Tree Topper!
Add elongated diamond to tree top. Create chamfers on sides of diamond. Do the same thing in the horizontal.
Step 6: The Solidworks Model. STL Format Also Included Above.
