2 Curves With only two curves to be manipulated, the original form is simple. However, through alterations in control points, it allows the form to twist and slowly creating its own character. Lesser the point allows for greater movements of the suurface in creating more dynamic design.

3 Curves By adding an extra curve, the form gradually becomes more complex. With curves interecting into each other, it further complicates the lofted surface, For example, the 5th surface I find to be the most intriguing, creates enclosed spaces through a folding motion. The asymmetricality and re

4 Curves With four cruves, there are more details in the slope due to the different heights of curve provided. There’s increase in areas of folding and twisting in the lofted surfaces. However, the movement in form is less active in comparison with a loft surface of 2 curves. As lesser points to alter can achieve greater aspects in sense of abstractness and dynamism in the surface.

Cull Pattern
Cull Pattern These patterns are represented through the extrusion of the offset. The surface used was a rectangle, thus the rectangle boundary. Applying another complex surface to substitue the rectangular surface did not work. I am still looking for solutions for it.

Cull Pattern
Cull Pattern Applying cull pattern to another complex surface is a challenge I face, and is still one I’m trying to solve. I attempted to place the pattern on to this surface, but somehow it does not seem to produce the pattern.
