  yeah, I think this should be pretty easy to achieve on 3D but, to be honest I'm intimidated by 3D apps, I would love to do some of the stuff people here do w c4d, on a budget I downloaded a copy of some free modeling software for mac, and I couldn't figure it out.

  so I figure I can stick to what I know..
  ;(

  I just found this. I think the top right one is a tetrakaidecagon.

  • nice!
    some of the sides look uneven though (not accurate) but that's exactly the kind of 3d I'm looking for– Meeklo1/6

    after– Meeklo2/6

    ahhh now I am not so sure...
    Its hard to count the sides.– AMOK3/6

    its possible that is may never be a symmetrical shape?
    – AMOK4/6

    I think its possible, what I mean by accurate is that is hmm.. mathematically exact?– Meeklo5/6

    sorry, english is not my first language– Meeklo6/6

  Download free version of Sketchup if none of the above do what you want. You could get the basic shape and just export to Illy.

  • thanks man! I will keep this as an option– Meeklo

  Eskema:

  That link looks like it could work, but I'm a bit confused, are all those 14 sides? not that you should know, for some reason I thought there was going to be one shape only, but now that I think about it (and after browsing a little) they could be any shape huh?

  14 sides 3D would be pretty basic, no? could almost just as easy draw it.

  

  • yes, that's exactly what I want to do, but I need the basic shape (is this it?)– Meeklo1/3

    that's 14 sides by my count– inkpink2/3

    thanks mang, downloaded!
    cheers– Meeklo3/3

  i can make a 3D image for you in a few minutes.

  • that would be great if you dont mind, just basic skeleton so I can trace is great for me– Meeklo1/2

    this is harder than i thought.
    im new to 3D. ive made a 24 sided cube thing..– o_O2/2

  Here's a question I have: a 4-sided die is a pyramid, so I think the shape in Illy won't be an accurate reflection of a 14-sided polygon. Not to get all D&D on you, but here's a 12-sided die
  

  

  • you mean, because of the 14 sides not showing without it rotating? I agree, this looks pretty similar to what I thought the shape look like though– Meeklo1/2

    it would initially look like– Meeklo2/2

  I think what you're after doesn't exist.
  as found here ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reg… ),
  there's only some with 14 sides but none with all 14 exact shapes... this weird, I thought there would be one for any number of sides...

  • and here
    http://en.wikipedia.…– ESKEMA1/2

    f$%CK me...
    so maybe I can just use the D&D mayo posted– Meeklo2/2

  since my previous post didn't contain a question:
  Which are you looking for, a 14-sided two dimensional image (like Illy drew) or a 14-sided 3D image, like inkpink's post?

  • a 3d image, just so I can trace and have as a skeleton for the logo, I could use the flat one but I don't think it translates very well– Meeklo1/2

    very well you know?
    (see very first image on the thread)– Meeklo2/2

• Meeklo

  this might be close?
  

  

  I don't even know if its the right one to be honest, looks similar to Mayo's above

  • I'm sure no one will be calling me yelling HEY MAN THERE IS only 12 SIDES on that logo!– Meeklo1/2

    but I want to get it right just in case haha– Meeklo2/2

  Technically what you are looking for is a Tetradecahedron or Tetrakaidecahedron

  • tetrakaidecagon– Meeklo1/2

    o.. maybe my name is in spanish? hahaha no wonder I couldn't find shit– Meeklo2/2
