01 Lofting Parametric Vase

CONCEPTUALISATION

Z Vector - Point - Circle - Radius - Surface - Loft I created the location and size of my vase’s base circle frames straight from grasshopper.

Number sliders are connected to the vector and circle’s radius to control the positioning and size of each circles. After these, the ‘loft’ command is used to multi-connect the circles sequentially as well as the bottom circle is added a surface command to create the bottom of vase.

Hence, 5 variations of vases are created by changing the radius and moving ‘z’ vector of each circle.

02 VORONOI + POPULATE

CONCEPTUALISATION

Populate 3D / Populate Geometry - Voronoi 3D - List Item - Index Inspired by the online tutorials. I experiment the Voronoi 3D command together with the populate 3D / populate Geo command to set the geometry. The images are showing the result from sphere and box with some parts of block deleted. One slider is connected to give value of point number within the box. Then, ‘list item’ command is used to check every voronoi block created by each point through sliding the index number.

After baking, I randomly deleted some blocks to create different cut-out solid.
