It’s no secret that the rose is the staple flower for Valentine’s Day. It symbolizes love, adoration and romance, which make it an ideal gift to your significant other on the token day of love. So today, we’d like to show you how to design a red rose with ZW3D.
Figure. 1 Red rose
Step1: Draw the main contour curves of the rose on the XZ plane. Curve 1 will make up the bud, Curve 2 to 4 will make up the petals, Curve 5 the receptacle, and Curve 6 the stem. It should be noted that the starting and ending points of Curve 1 should be in one vertical line.

Step2: Use the Curve List command to detach the contour curves from the sketch.

Step3: Use Revolve command in model to draw the bud, petals and receptacles. Select Curves 1 to 5 respectively, revolve around the Z-axis (360° for Curve 1 and Curve 5, -55° and 55° for Curve 2 and 4, -110° and 0° for Curve 3) to generate the bud, three petals and a receptacle.

Step4: Since the edge of the rose is too sharp, we need to trim it. Use Through Point Curve command to draw two curves.

Step5: Use Trim to Curves command to trim the petal, to make it more natural.

Step6: Thicken the petal to change it from a surface to a solid. Now, a petal was born.

Step7: Use the same method to generate the other two petals. Then pattern these three petals at 120° around the Z-axis by Pattern Geometry function.

Step8: Thicken the receptacle. Then the main part of the rose is completed.

Step9: Create a datum at the endpoint of Curve 6 and draw a circle around it.

Step 10: Use Sweep command and set the scale of transform as below to create a stem for the rose.

Step 11: Draw two curves on a sketch, then extrude them by the Extrude command to create two surfaces.

Step12: Repeat Step 4 to 6 to beautify the leaves.

Step13: Render with Keyshot, then a charming rose is finally ready for your significant other! What if he or she doesn’t like roses? Follow the above steps, and you can also design your own ones easily with ZW3D’s amazing Hybrid Modelling technology.
