2D PATTERNING: I EXPERIMENTED WITH THE HEXAGONAL GRID AND MADE ALTERATIONS IN SIZE BASED ON THE PROXIMITY TO A NURBS CURVE DETERMINED BY RANDOMIZED CONTROL POINTS. USING MULTIPLIERS AND MIN/MAX COMPONENTS I COULD CONTROL THE HEXAGONAL PATTERN’S SENSITIVITY TO THE CURVE.

ALGORITHMIC SKETCHBOOK WEEK 2: 2D & 3D PATTERNING
3D PATTERNING: I EXTRUDED THE 2D SURFACES INTO 3D FORMS AND THEN MOVED THEM USING THE SAME RULE THAT DICTATES THE SURFACE SIZE, ADDING A MULTIPLIER TO CONTROL Z-AXIS MOVEMENT SENSITIVITY.

HEXAGONAL STRUCTURE
THE LUNCHBOX GRASSHOPPER PLUGIN SIMPLIFIES THE PANELLING PROCESS FOR GRIDSHELLS. PANEL COMPONENTS TAKES A SURFACE AND TESSELATES POLYGONAL PANELS OVER THE SURFACE STRUCTURE COMPONENTS TAKE A SURFACE AND TESSELATE A POLYGONAL GRID OVER IT, OUTPUTTING A GRID OF POINTS AND LINES AT THE VERTICES AND EDGES OF THE CELLS

CONCEPTUALISATION
THIS IS MY CURRENT PROGRESS ON EXPLORATION WITH THE VOLTADOM TESSELLATION SCRIPT. I AM EXPERIENCING SOME ISSUES WHERE THE CONES ARE OFTEN CRACKED AND NOT COMPOSING CORRECTLY. FURTHER EXPERIMENTING REQUIRED.
