Our final one! I was just saying to Ben today, looking at the codes we made for the first project compared to now, we really have come so far everyone! At least I know I have.
Some of you may knew that for my thesis one of goals is create tensile structures out of reconstructed thrifted material, specifically old t-shirts. Around halfway through working on this project, I was able to get the t-shirt pattern I wanted projected onto the umbrella structure I made, but there was nothing special about the code. I wanted the t-shirts to actually be individual meshes that were somehow linked together.
And eventually I got there using kangaroo! It was not without trouble though let me tell you. Twice, I had grasshopper crash on me while doing this because I plugged something into the kangaroo threshold plug, and my computer DID NOT like that.
After getting the form, my next goal was to do some texture mapping. I had a some trouble here as well, but Ben helped me out in a bonus session, and explained to me that the pixel dimensions that rhino and shape diver work best with are ones that are a factor of 2. I bet the image I was using was not a factor of 2, which is why I was having some issues here.
But eventually I got the shape diver to work, which was dope! I added the QR code everyone to try it out.
Thanks for a great semester everyone one!
This first chunk of code here is how I made the dome shape with kangaroo. I got the bouncing jello affect to work a lot before I ran the code through the zombie saver below.
This bottom Chun of code is how I got the t-shirts to be individual units on the tensile structure.
