A. 1 Lofting and Triangulation Algorithums
Ifirststartedbyloftingtwocurvestogethertocreateabasic curve. I then manipulated this curve through changing the position of its control points, to create even further abstraction I in-creased the amount of control points, which made the surface even more reactive. To create further manipulation I played around with theloftingoptionsfromamoremanagablesurfacetoamorefluid,uniform one.

I then experimented with creating a mesh on the surface in an attempt to create some 3D panelling. This was unfortunately where I got stuck.
From here I then began Trangulation algorithums and began to experiment with the 2-dimensional plane and then the 3-dimensional plane; exploring voronoi’s to make a cube that could be manipulated and cut away. I then created a curved surface and populated the geometry with points so that I was able to apply the triangulation
OcTree and create boxes along the curve. I then played around with the group number with a slider (seen below) and changed the values from 1 to 10. This technique would be perfect for creating ideas and generating fast elements to develop a design further.

The week focused on Geometry, transformation and intersections. I investigated making a topographic curved surface for fabrication. I investigated how to create curves evenly placed along an existing curve. From here I placed curves adjacent to them. From this I learnt how to create a point on the intercepting curves, place a circle over them for fabrication. This was further developed when icreatedasphere,offsetit,placedrandompointsonit,mappedcurves then lofted between the two spheres. I then experimented withdifferentshapestocreatedifferenttechniques.Thiscreatedsome technical problem.

A. 3 Controlling the Algorithm: Lists, Flow Control, Matching
Thisweekfocusedonlists,flowcontrolandmathcing.Afterfollow-ing this weeks web tutors I was left with the polyline suface seen on the left. I then took this further and re-did the curves, and increasing the amount of points to create denser and more complex shapes. Below is a screenshot of playing around with voronois, increasing therevaluestocreatedifferentpatterns.Thistechniquecouldbeused to create a panel on a shape to cut out or create an abstracted materialthatcouldincreasetheefficiencyofmysustainableenergy.

B.1 Voussoir Cloud Exploration

ForVoussoircloudexplorationIuseddifferentvideotutorialstopro-ducedifferntoutcomes.Thisincludedplayingaroundwithkangaroogravitational factors, creating an attraction point for circles on a surface, and changing the points to a point arragned in a spiral. This pushed and abstracted the model to weird, unattainable limits.

ReverseengineeringEXOtiquewetriedthreedifferentway.Thefirstbeing creating our own panel to map of a surface that had circles cut out of it. This was hard and didnt produce the structure we wanted. Secondly we created a hexagonal plane that we then piped and created a surface in between these pipes. The third was just a simple hexagonal surface through using a plugin.

C. 1 Tri-Grid
We began our design knowing that we wanted to create a triangulated surface that we could then manipulate through point charges.

Space -frame attempts
Itriedmanydifferentwaystocreateaspaceframe. Some didnt work because our shape was irregular, some caused my computer to crash (hence why they are not connected).Itriedaboutthreedifferentways before we found a way that worked without serious computer crashing issues.
