2D Patterning Final

New updates from last week: animation image scale resolved

2D Patterning Process

Q1: If I think the ghost view is better than render view, how can I export the images without the center gird?

Q2: When I use “Animate” to generate the drawings, it seems only one key slider is changing. Is it possible for several sliders changing simultaneously?

I used tween through curve and rotate the shapes to create 2D pattern. I remap the tween through and rotation with the same attractor position, and I’m trying to figure out how can I separate them. And the rotation doesn’t seems change a lot.

2D Patterning Process

I was intrigued by the reading 1.3.3 Mathematics & Expressions and developed a 2d patterning based on the reading and class demo. By combining math equation into a 2d graphic, I came up with this spiral rose pattern.

started with a quick practice from reading 1.3.3

and then combined with what we learned from week 2 and week 3

spiral rose (rhodonea equation) sin(y/z)*x

Struggles: I guess because my slider numbers are really big, the animation automatically generated images from smaller radius (circle) to larger radius (circle). These images are not really showing some of the interesting patterns very well. Also GH running very slow.
