PARAMETRIC VESSEL/STRUCTURE

 

PARAMETRIC VESSEL/STRUCTURE

Oh boy, Getting real with the 3D! Not gonna lie the lecture felt deadly, my brain as soon as class was over was just gone. GONE. This class is a lot of fun but it takes a lot of brain power to fully understand how each component works and what they do. Sometimes I get lost in the definition and I have no idea what I've been doing and what does what. But that's okay cause eventually I figure things out!

Here Is the start of my 3D shape:

I didn't want to make the generic "Circle" like we did in the demo for class so I tried experimenting with POLYGON.


I had no idea why the sizes were so drastic, then I realized it was probably the number sliders I had on my "CDM" construct making the radius of the different shapes very far from each other. 
So once again I tried all the way from the beginning again, this time looking at the our demo creations from class as a guidance. 


Am I doing something wrong with domain? range? I have no idea haha, I feel like I cant fully understand setting the Domain to " __ to __" (3 to 7) 


Any ways I continued to play around and change my definition till I realized what I did wrong. It seemed like I was because I attached the "Random" component to "Rotate" instead of my "Polygon" shape.

And finally I figured it out! Time to play around with the number slider till I find something I like


I wanted to try a fun colour so I went for this really pretty pastel purple. 


I added rotate to see what would happen and it wasn't much of a rotate, like by twisting it, it was more so of creating multiples of the shape and rotating it. Either way it made these really pretty ripples!


Here are some of my Iterations for my Vessel Structure.
I wasn't sure if the iterations were supposed to have the same "numbers" or just from the different seeds so I added one more funky looking one :)









Heres an Animated GIF !!

Reverse Engineered Object : Progress 1

 Reverse Engineered Object : Progress 1 The Object that I have chosen to reverse engineer from my three options, Is my Muji balance mechanical pencil. I chose this object because even if it seems quite simple, there are still a lot of different intricate parts and textures areas. I first started this project by sketching out the pencil and its parts to measure each piece.  It was annoying at first that when I would measure something and remeasure it again I would get very different results in numbers.  Although I do know these are the things that have to be done to be accurate! There are still quite a lot of parts that I need sketch and measure out in the inner parts of the pencil. This is because many of them are very small and hard to see, and as well I am not sure how the "screws" or "spirals" are done in Rhino so I will be waiting for the tutorial on it in class.  Here is my progress so far :  This part of the pencil has a texture outer side that I will stil...

Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet

Image
  Outsourced Wearable Object: Concept Selection and Proof Sheet After wonderful conversations with my peers and Bryan, I have finally concluded to the THREE ring concepts I enjoy the most.   A Bonsai, a Snake and a Flower ring.  Honestly this was pretty hard. I had a lot of troubles on different parts for each ring. Although I tried not to stress about it since i knew this was also a rough draft. Here are some ScreenShots of my work : (I always forget to take shots of my process) The snake seems like a simple enough concept but I've been having troubles with the shape after i SWEEP it. Not only that I haven't been able to fully complete the reptile scale texture since I've been having troubles with the FLowAlongSrf I had to learn how to make a Petal of a flower by using InterpretCRV, and learning how to use the REBUILD tool.  I haven't completed the Bonsai tree yet, I finally got a decent shape to the trunk and i'm still planning to manipulate it with Twist and ...
