I have a series of artistic sculpture models that are already blocked out in 3-D; what I now need is a parametric routine—built in Rhino, Grasshopper, or a mix of the two—that makes each form “inflate” convincingly while preserving the piece’s overall aesthetic. Think of a light, balloon-like pressurisation that softens edges, swells surfaces, and still feels faithful to the original design language. The models will ultimately be 3-D printed, so the definition has to let me dial in wall thickness, scale, and tolerances before export. I’ll supply the base files .stl or obj along with reference sketches that show how far each area should puff out. Your task is to return a fully parametric file plus the final, print-ready geometry for one test piece; once that workflow is proven we will run the rest through the same script. Deliverables • Grasshopper/Rhino file with clear, editable parameters • A short note on how to adjust inflation strength and thickness • STL or 3MF of the test sculpture, watertight and ready for FDM/SLA printing Acceptance criteria – Geometry puffs smoothly with no self-intersections – Key aesthetic lines remain legible after inflation – Export passes basic print-prep checks in Cura/PrusaSlicer without errors If this sounds like your kind of modelling challenge, I’m ready to pass over the first file right away. I want to start off with one desing and if it goes well I will move forward with other models
