Assignment 02 – Progress | Fang-Ting Lee

I plan to have produce a set of vessels that forms from random crisscrossing sticks. Some support might be needed, so a band of mesh will be added around parts of the crisscrossing elements to add stabilization .

Crisscrossing Pipes (Based on 3 circles)

Script to Create / Adjust Crisscrossing Pipes

Outer Mesh that Surrounds Entire Pipe Vessel

Outer Mesh based on Lofted Surface of 3 Circles

Boundaries for Band Created by Intersecting 3 Circle Loft Surface with 2 Different Planes

Top & Bottom Band Boundaries created by Intersecting planes with 3 Circle Loft Surface

This week, I’m continue working on the 3D printing project. Since my thesis topic is about ornamentation, so I want to experiment the subject using grasshopper. Please refer to the below process: )

In my current 2D project I’m making a brick wall that can be rotated individually for each column

Assignment 01-2D patterning Nima Luorong

In my current 2 D project, I am crafting a versatile wall panel designed for use as an acoustical element in movie theaters. The process involves transitioning from a basic triangular shape to extracting the central point, thereby generating compelling three-dimensional forms on the wall.

The followings are the steps that I took to reach the final product.

Plane with X and Y Number slider to create a size of 7 width x 5 height.
Used the population components with geometry from the plane, and also different number of counts
Use Voronoi components.
M2 to extract the center and area.
Created a vector extrusion to Unit Y (number sliders)
Geometry extrusion- mesh
Copy all of the above and place on top of each part.
Create result slider a and b for both sets to have 100 of iterations. (Please reference the following image to following the above instruction.)
Shapediver materials are used to create contrast between two different panels.

Thank you for tuning in! The script follows a straightforward progression, evolving from a basic grid to a more intricate shape. The fundamental concept here is that every intricate form originates from simple geometries. Stay tuned for upcoming updates, as another exciting project is on the horizon. the following are real life application.

Hello World!

Hi everyone! My name is Katy O’Connor, and I am a second year graduate interior design student. Right now, my thesis is heavily concerned with textiles, so I’m hoping this class helps me learn to better create patterns, and utilize machines to help cut patterns as well. I lean heavily on my craft, so it would be nice to speed up certain processes wherever possible.

2D Patterning | Weaving Research| Xianjie Du

For my 2D printing project, I try to explore weaving shape on the Grasshopper. The weaving pattern is repeating and with lines weave to surface. The logic for weaving is LINE > LINE ARRAY > DIVIDE LINE > CULL PATTERN > WEAVE > REVOLUTION. Then change the LINE ARRAY to POLAR ARRAY.
