Triquetra OSG | PAPP

3D Model

Technically, this object is a one-stroke knot path materialized as a closed tubular mesh through the PAPP-OSG pipeline: discrete path construction, topologically verified, tube extrusion, and over/under weaving. Generated, not hand-modeled: the Triquetra starts as a gate-constrained one-stroke path on a 28-grid trefoil domain, then becomes a Catmull–Rom ribbon and a 10-sided tube via parallel-transport framing and z-lift weaving. Result: 430+ controlled crossings in one watertight band. It uses a trefoil / three-lobe Celtic domain arranged around 120° rotational balance, so the whole form reads as one continuous interlaced band rather than a flat emblem. In 3D, the classic triquetra becomes a compact woven sculpture with repeated crossings, rounded tubular volume, and a strong circular silhouette that preserves the symbolic threefold structure while giving it depth, weight, and architectural presence.
