Vase Variations

This was a particularly interesing vari-ant that i found occuring as I changed the step on one of my sliders

Step = 0

Step = 8

TO explain my low-res image, I set up 9 series’ and fed 3 of each into a con-struct point tool. For the z coordinate of each however, I first fed the series through a x^2 function. I decided to do this to try and get a curve. Having created these point I then used them in the Create Circle from 3 Points tool, giving me a variety of circles which I then fed into a loft command. Initially I just wanted to see what i could create purely from Grasshopper, but as I ex-perimented with the sliders more and more I discovered that they could cre-ate seemless shapes quite easily and so stuck with it to create my variety of ‘vases’.
