Modeling a snowflake
« on: November 13, 2016, 11:29:28 AM »
Question on modeling a snowflake.  My display is basically a 6 leg spinner with little branches that jet out at the end to make the snow flake.  Basically this with only two set of branches per leg

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0249/9090/products/Festive_Snowflake_1024x1024.jpg?v=1375296976

Would like my model to allow the branches to be one color and the spinner another.  Also would be nice if could plus the spinner leg and braches separately.  Snowflake is constructed with ws2811 pixels (3 led's per pixel), each leg is 4 pixels and branch is 1 (cut up a ws2811 16led/meter strip.....wont do this again, will use standard bullet pixels next time).

Any help greatly approached.

this is were sub models are used Also the circle effect with radial works neat. I have built 3 of these  Just make several models with different node configurations
