So I'm pretty new to Blender and I want to create a model of this Japanese bowls that aren't uniformly round, instead they have these larger polygons on the outside, as you can see in the picture.



I tried a few modifiers, but I couldn't find anything that would help. Does anyone have an idea how I could get this shape? Thanks.

    I don't think modifiers will give you the best results. Maybe 2.8 has something I don't know. Begin researching Blender sculpting and draw the specific pattern on paper to get your head around it beforehand. I'm watching for answers too.

You could try it this way:



  • Put your picture as a Background image.

  • Create a plane, rotate it on the X axis to have it in front view, apply the rotation.

  • In Front Ortho view, use the picture as a model to build your mesh, mirror the mesh to make it easier.

  • Switch to Right Ortho view and continue to model the mesh. You'll have to shift the mesh from its origin.

  • Come back to Object mode. Create an empty at the same point as the object origin.

  • Give your object an Array modifier, give it a Count of 8, deactivate Relative Offset, activate Object Offset, choose the empty as object.

  • Rotate the empty 45° on the Z axis.

  • In Edit mode, give some corrections to make the vertices stick approximately with their arrayed copies.

  • Duplicate the empty + object to keep a copy somewhere on another layer.

  • Apply the modifiers.

  • Go in Edit mode, remove doubles.

  • Dissolve the useless vertical edges.

  • Make some corrections.

  • Now you have your basic bowl. Of course you'll probably want it to be a bit more sophisticated, like adding some bevels, etc... in that case you can keep just 1/8 of the bowl and again spin it around the empy with an array, add your bevels on the original mesh, keep only quads, etc...
