Day 53. This is about the 3rd time I have tried to model a tricorn pirate hat! I tried it when I was first modeling in sketchup.... (didn't get very far) I tried it again when we were doing a pirate themed interactive audience game at the NFTS (we wound up downloading a character) and today marks the day I finally complete one :p It was a pretty tricky model and even now I still want to adjust it but I hit my hour mark just as I finished the inside of the hat. The trick I tried this time was to start with 3 half cylinders for the folded parts of the hat. Previously I had started with the half sphere in the center of the hat but found myself in really tricky situations later as my verts bunched up in the corners. By starting with the folds I was able to avoid this and thus connecting the domed part of the hat was easy.
