Golf ball dimples

[ChristianSmith]

Has anybody modeled a golf ball? I've been trying to figure out the pattern on a golf ball now for about an hour and I give up. I know there are people who get paid good money to come up with the pattern for golf ball dimples. Just wondering if anybody has attempted this.

Hi Christian,

I've seen Vladimir Palffy model and render a golf ball.

Although he outfitted it with diamonds, I'm sure he could provide best practices on creating dimples.

Dan,
I'am not sure what is going on, but ... http://communities.ptc.com/community/creo located on community home page doesn't work. I have to enter manually the link http://communities.ptc.com/community/creo-elements-pro to be able to see Creo discussion.

Martin,

Both the links you provided result in the same Creo page. It might be a cache issue. I will investigate for you.
