already asked on /pw/ but I'll ask here just to make sure i get all the responses i can. I'm working on the 360 logo and i need some Q's answered.

Should i make a full sphere, or shave the bottom slightly so it doesn't roll?

If i cut the bottom, should the X face straight up?

i think you should definitely shave the bottom, and have the logo turned a bit downward so it's facing you and it can be seen better... but it really depends on how you're planning to display it

I'd say have it so that if you were looking at it from the side with the screencap... so the bottom of that would be your flat bottom. You know...

my boyfriend just suggested that you could make a little stand for it and leave it an orb~

Not her boyfriend, but I agree. A small stand to let you chose how you want to look at it.

well here is the first draft. It looks kinda rough but if this is going to be a small desktop model it's proly best to keep the geometry low. If anyone wants a high poly model, i may do one of those too. I threw on some rough textures to show the inset, and i think the X is to fat. Let me know what you all think

looks good so far, maybe move the upper and lower points closer together.

looks pretty nifty. I could try to whip out a high-poly version myself, but... Me and high poly are TOO good o' friends.

you'll have WWII-style flashbacks to the hundreds of thousands of tiny misplaced triangles.

new model, I think it looks better
>> SEBRET
any ideas on what the stand should look like?

Either a stand with a circular indent on top, or the bottom part of the X-Sphere itself be sliced a bit so to be flat.
>> SEBRET
I was thinking maybe a mini console or something or maybe something that looks like the ring on the front, with interchangeable colors for ring of death effect.

We already have the mini-console. Maybe an add-on to that? You could make four little quarter-rings, red, black (for off), and green.

I guess, it will be tough to make an add on for something i don't have the model data for though

It's a PDF file. Just Print Screen at 100% in whatever you view PDFs in, put that in Photoshop or MSPaint or whatever, and work from there.

Looks close to mine, whats the internal angle of your wedge?

The X needs to be a bit thicker
>> Anonymous
make the bottem flat, but dont make it sphere like, i think octagonal would be best
