Algorithmic Surface Modelling and Animation

After completing the reading for this week I had a much better understanding of paneling and the in-class tutorials from this week. For my first attempt I wanted to panel a star shape across the lofted form I created for my first definition assignment. However this created numerous challenges and would not panel the shape. After a while of trying to fix this issue, I decided to take a new route. (yeah I have no idea what happened here) I decided to try a simpler option and opted for a dome shape with squiggly blue lines over top. This option turned out much better and I was able to animate it. I still thought I could go further as this was very basic. In the end I ended up with a star shape that conformed to a sphere. For the animation aspect I rotated the paneled shape and the sphere. I wan...

Mile Stone Project 1: Stacked Slice

This week I focused on laser cutting my sliced stack model. I chose to use wood for my model instead of an alternative such as acrylic because I enjoy the texture. During the 210 laser cut pattern project I found that I enjoyed the wood grain texture, and dark scorch marks from the laser. Left side Front View Top View Right Side I really like how my final stacked sliced model came out. I like the stepped or stair-like curves in the model. I think if I were to improve this model in any way I might try and make my overall form more round as the laser cut model became more oblong ( I think this is an issue with the depth of my material in my algorithm) In the future I would also like to experiment with different axis of slicing, and potentially painting the layers to create an ombre, or colour shifting effect.

Reverse Engineered Object selection

Reverse Engineered Object : Object Selection For this week we were tasked with selecting an object to create through reverse engineering it in Rhino. I definitely had a hard time finding objects this week that were easy to dissect as well as complex enough for the project. When looking for object I struggled with finding dissectible object many things I found did not want to come a part or would require much more force to open them. I first thought of my bike helmet but realized quickly that while it has moving parts in the visor and vents the inside is mostly layers of foam making it not the best object for this project. Some of the other early object I had to avoid were mouses, tools, pencil sharpeners, staple removers, and other office supplies. While these objects appeared that they would work for the project I found them hard to dissect or not complex enough for the project. Eventually I did start to find some solutions. I found that object which require human interaction to ...
