Task 01 - Lofting Curves

Lofting 2 curves

Lofting 3 curvesCONCEPTUALISATION 5

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.

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.

CONCEPTUALISATION 7

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

the number of triangulation shapes.

Experimenting with hexagonal grids and the delaunay edges component.

ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL8 CONCEPTUALISATION

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

CONCEPTUALISATION 9

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.

10 CONCEPTUALISATION

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

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.

CONCEPTUALISATION 13

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.

14 CONCEPTUALISATION

Original surface in the red.

Exploring the box-morph tool.

CONCEPTUALISATION 15

Exploring the box-morph tool.

ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL

16 CONCEPTUALISATION

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.

CONCEPTUALISATION 17

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.

CONCEPTUALISATION 21

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

ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL ALGORITHMIC JOURNAL

22 CONCEPTUALISATION

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.

CONCEPTUALISATION 23

Exploring using metaball on these points.

24 CONCEPTUALISATION

Attempts at culling patern list.

Jittering poitns did not work for me.

CONCEPTUALISATION 25

Exploring the voronoi component (like the tutorial) however I decided to not go further

as I have explored voronoi a lot so far.
