help-circle


  • I’m a novice, so I’m sure there’s probably a better way to do this, but I would probably make a 2d shape that I can move around and scale. Here’s what I would try:

    1. Create a circle with an even number of vertices, like 32
    2. In vertex selection mode, checker deselect. (Select > Checker deselect)
    3. Scale just those points outwards a little bit
    4. Bevel the vertices (Ctrl + Shift + B) and use the mouse wheel to create three points. Make them more or less evenly spaced. It should look like a cauliflower
    5. Select all vertices
    6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 a few times. It should start to look like a carnation
    7. Using circle select tool (C, mouse wheel adjusts radius) pick just the inside vertices. There should be 16.
    8. Turn on proportional editing mode and set it to random (squiggly line)
    9. Scale those points in or out, playing with the radius using the mouse wheel. The deselected points will move random distances, giving a jagged/fuzzy look. You can get a lot of variety if you play with the radius.
    10. Select all points and hit F to fill.

    Here’s how mine turned out.
