After discussing this project in class I realized that I hadn't spent enough time visually explaining how I made this 3d model. To bend my pattern I took the same grouping of four pods and created a 7 degree bend in the center, such that the opposite edges of the pods were no long pointing straight out.
Keeping the same idea of my 2d model, I continued connect the pods at each of their edges, starting with one in the center and working my way out radially.
Working my way up in scale, I built my model through layers of spheres, each new iteration separated from the rest of the design by an increasingly more transparent orb. In this way, I worked the same pattern from the center out in 3d space, rather than working from edge to edge of a flat plane.
