What to do with Stippling / Crosshatching? - Peter Grass - 2026-02-19 I bought part 3245cpb035 since the pictures of it online sucked and I was going to make it, and took some high res pics for reference. The part has lots of tiny red and white boxes inside the white rays. So do I A) make a jillion tiny quad boxes in white and red respectively B) Make them diagonal lines instead C) Make the rays pink since thats the average between red & white D) Ignore the stippling entirely E) Some other solution like making it a texture instead ? RE: What to do with Stippling / Crosshatching? - Magnus Forsberg - 2026-02-19 a) no b) maybe, but a lot of work c) maybe not pink, you have three different areas, rays, spoon and shadow below the bowl. Pick one colour for each area. d) no, but add a comment as Help-info, or Needs Work-comment e) texmap to add the small details might be the best method, but it also needs a really good fallback pattern. RE: What to do with Stippling / Crosshatching? - Manfred Schaefer - 2026-02-19 It's just an idea I had. It could be that the white jagged lines have the same slope. You could use a program to fill a square area completely with these white and red jagged lines and save it as an SVG. Then cut out the other areas, such as the bowl with spoon, red areas, stars, etc. Something like this should be possible with Inkscape. As I said, it's just an idea I had. Best regards, Manfred
