Task 01 - Lofting Curves

Lofting 2 curves

Lofting 3 curves

4

CONCEPTUALISATION


Lofting 4 curves; I found this exercise the most interesting as I could create the most complex shapes and surfaces. My final results were changed each time by moving control points manually. I liked the freedom that came with doing this manually.

CONCEPTUALISATION 5


Task 02 - Triangulation Algorithims

Metaball, voronoi and delaunay edges components

An unsuccessful of populating a geometry with points and then using the delaunay edges component.

6

CONCEPTUALISATION


Experimenting with hexagonal grids and the delaunay edges component.

I altered the number of points in the delaunay edges component, thus changing the number of triangulation shapes.

CONCEPTUALISATION 7


Exploring populating a 3D object and then using the voroni component.

8

CONCEPTUALISATION


I manually altered these 3D cubes by deleting various elements . Although the elements appear random, you are able to isolate each using notepads in the Grasshopper window, I found this very interesting.

CONCEPTUALISATION 9


Explorations of the octtree component. I found this algorithm the least evocative.

10

CONCEPTUALISATION


CONCEPTUALISATION 11


Task 03 - Transforming Tools

Exploration of dividing curves and creating arcs. This could be helpful for creating interesting surfaces and then altering them.

Interporlating the curves.

12

CONCEPTUALISATION


Example of offesting curves. Perhaps quicker than doing it manually in Rhino but I’m unsure. This function should be explored better by myself in the future.

CONCEPTUALISATION 13


Exploring the box-morph tool.

Original surface in the red.

14

CONCEPTUALISATION


Exploring the box-morph tool.

CONCEPTUALISATION 15


Using the box-morph tool to create a surface using a circular mesh. I’m unsure about the result of this, it seems clumsy but the linework and patterns made are interesting.

16

CONCEPTUALISATION


Difficulty using meshes and the box-morph tool.

Using the box-morph tool and the voronoi 2D component.

Using the box-morph tool and the voronoi 3D component.

Task 04 - Patterning Tools

I was able to, using list tools and components, easily order and then join various arcs and curves to loft them.

20

CONCEPTUALISATION


Grouping, using panels (to remind myself of things later).

CONCEPTUALISATION 21


This is my loft of 3 curves, I was able to join various different points using patterning and shifting list components.

A new way to create points - divide a surface into points.

22

CONCEPTUALISATION


Exploring using metaball on these points.

CONCEPTUALISATION 23


Jittering poitns did not work for me.

Attempts at culling patern list.

24

CONCEPTUALISATION


Exploring the voronoi component (like the tutorial) however I decided to not go further as I have explored voronoi a lot so far.

CONCEPTUALISATION 25


An attempt at applying the octree component to my surface.

26

CONCEPTUALISATION


CONCEPTUALISATION 27


Task 05 - Understanding Relationships

28

CONCEPTUALISATION


CONCEPTUALISATION 29


Task 06

Creating spirals using pi .

30

CONCEPTUALISATION


Changing various factors, like the number of points and the distance between the poitns in the x axis changes the shape of the spirals.

CONCEPTUALISATION 31


Phyllotaxis - arrangement of leaves

Exploring making patterns with the sin and cosin functions (creating algorithims)

Applying voronoi to these algorithms to try and create a defined space.

32

CONCEPTUALISATION


Unable to loft the voronoi surfaces.

So began to create another curve (which I had moved up in the z axis) then I created points between these curves in order to loft a surface.
