I followed a great TopMod tutorial [link] by 
to make this. Thanks sjoo!
(The full view shows the pattern much better)
The Technical Stuff
-----------------------
Shape made using TopMod.
I UV mapped the front sections in Blender. Took forever! I had to re-do it 3 times.
Penrose Tiler and Illustrator were used for the Penrose pattern.
Rendered in POV-Ray.
Gotta love all the free software out there and all the great people that make it.
This is based on a design by Bathsheba Grossman. She has amazing sculptures!

Here it is 2021 and I'd like to render a 4K version of this. But I cannot locate the POV files. Are you in the mood to share a link to the assets? No pressure.
Very cool
Thanks
Tutorial does not exist. I would like to make this, but no.

I haven't used it in a long time. I made the design in Penrose Tiler and then exported it to Adobe Illustrator to change the line thickness, and then to Photoshop I think.
This is beautiful!
Beautiful!

Thanks for the credit! Much appreciated.
I can see where texture mapping that would be a beast -- never tackled it myself.
