Chambered Nautilus Design 1.0
Here’s the Nautilus with a Fibonacci overlay so that I could scale the Sculpture.
Update: I decided to make the shell 3 feet! She’s gonna be big!
Here’s a Screenshot of my calculations.
- Using photoshop and the measure tool, I made some measurements from the center of the fibonacci spiral to the edges.
- It was challenging because I had to decide how to measure the diameters of the shell.
- Artist Note: it’s in two dimensions and I’ll have to stretch the metal to make the curves, i still need the scale but I didn’t account for the width of the curves, just viewable dimensions. So in the end she may still end up 2.5 feet in total diameter.
- I also measured the head and one of the long tentacles. Those tentacles are going to be about 18 inches!
