NOTES:

This exploration was initially on lofting, but I decided to triangulate the model and pipe it. This later resulted to the smooth edge disappearing after the triangulation command has been connected. As I increased the radius, I noticed the pipe command becomes sharper in the ends reulting to the the pointy edges.

NOTES:

Like the first one, this structure was mainly on lofting as well. However, I decided to try different definitions such as the cone. However, what I found interesting about this was that I accidentally connected the middle curve to loft first, then the last, finally the first, which created 2 holes instead of just one. However, I still need work on exploring how to make the cones actually connect to the surface.

NOTES:

This was a normal loft command again, but instead I explored on biarc before lofting the model. After setting the curves, I connected them to create Biacrs and lofted from there. I realised that there are many different ways to loft curves

NOTES:

Similar to the first exercise we had in class, I had lines protruding out of the lofted surface, which I’ve later on placed spheres in the end. I also realized that instead of lines, I could actually use pipes to further explore on what I could to this model. This just hows that one definition could create a whole new iteration of the perviuos model. A problem i came upon here is that the spheres are not equally distributed. Some spheres are stuck to each other while others stay the same.

NOTES:

I used the attraction point to create this model. I learned that you can actually make the attraction point either weaker or more powerful by playing around the domain start and end’s range. Once you know how to create this definition, you could actually make multiple attraction points to a single model.
