Sea Sponges
Rhino and grasshopper are entirely new programs to me. The first task assigned to us was to create and loft shapes in these programss that are similar to sea sponges. It was an unexpected experience when learning the use of rhino to craft such organic shapes. The online tutorial lessons were extremely helpful and aided me in further understanding the use of the programs. Sea Sponge 1 As shown in the grasshopper definition, i created circles stacked on top of one another. These circles are adjustable according to my intents, therefore i could alter its radius and height. From then, after alligning them above on another, i lofted the stacked circles to achieve my desired tubular shape

Tree Branches
Started with multiple curves, connected to a single point in the middle. Went on to create PFrames around these curves and set a 5 sided polygonal shape at intervals and lofted them to create the first example in the picture. Played with the heights and curvature of the tree branches from there in rhino itself to create a more 3d looking image in the next example. And lastly with the use of mesh and contours that i could adjust to my liking, to create a more realistic surface for the tree branches. Tree Branch Definition
