Assignment 4 + 5 Models

Assignment 5 - Natural Structures

For this assignment I decided to use a honeycomb structure.

At first I made truncated hexagonal spikes/cells on a flat surface as a test:

But when I tried to apply the spikes to an egg form it did not work so I had to resort to a different method of generating the hexagonal cells then unrolled each cell in Rhino for laser-cutting:

Assignment 4 - Assembled Parts

For this assignment I used the Lunchbox plugin to create the panels for a curvy blob surface based on metaball sections. I then created a waffle type circle joint to connect the panels.

Updated Assignment 1 and 2

Since my first and second assignments were a bit too small, I made them bigger to the required size.

Assignment 3 Finished Physical Model

Assignment 3 Script

For this assignment we had to work out our own waffling script and apply it to a solid.

Assignment 1 Laser Cut Model.

First 3D Test Print

This model is printed from version 1 of the assignment 2 script.

Assignment 1 Amended Script

Here is a link to my cleaned up assignment 1 script which still looks the same but at half the original dimensions: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72198581/Assignment1_TANY_TAN_3460727%20Small.gh

Assignment 2: Modelling / 3D Printing

For this assignment I made a parametric 3D surface with an attractor point affecting the size of the holes within the surface.
The curved plane is also related to the attractor point: it is defined by a ratio of the distance between the attractor point and a grid of points.

Week 1 Tutorial Exercises

Exercise 1: Draw some points in Rhino. Assign points to grasshopper point component. Draw lines between points with Line AB component.

Exercise 2: Draw a circle in Grasshopper. Control the radius with a slider.

 Exercise 3: Draw a rectangle in Grasshopper. Control the length of one parallel set of edges with a slider. Set the length of the other parallel set of edges as a ratio of the length of the slider controlled edges.

Exercise 4: Draw a curve. Divide the curve into an amount of sections defined by a slider. Place a sphere at each division point.

Exercise 5: Draw two curves in Rhino and loft them in Grasshopper. Move the control points of these curves in Rhino and see how the loft responds.

Exercise 6: Create a 3D representation of your first initial.
