Iterations 1.

1.1

1.2

1.1Using Algorithm created in class whilst following Finn. ‘Sticks’ seem much more erractic than Finn’s.

1.2Realised that I had connected the wrong output to the spheres in 1.1: connected the start not the end. Fixed problem in this version.

Iterations 2.

2.1 Removed the sticks from the algorithm. With a large radius the spheres intersected each other.

2.2 Made the radius smaller (.25) And tried to eliminate one half of the spheres on the inside of the vase using “SolidDifference” component but Rhino froze. Created an offset internal lofted surface capped it with the original surface to try to make the “SolidDifference” work but it still would not.

3.3

3.4

3.1 Piped the curves using the same diametre as the spheres

3.2 Lessened the diametre of the pipes (.25). Look like batons.

3.3 Lessened the density of lines coming from the vase (U:10 V:30)

3.4 The length of the lines then looked odd so I shortened them, creating a climbing wall effect.

3.4

Iterations 4.

Tried to emphasise the climbing wall effect by splitting the list of lines and changing the length of each group of lines giving varying distances at different heights. I managed to split the lines but only in vertical groups. When the tangent line output was added the lines went in ALL directions and I couldn’t work out how to stop this. This only happened at the END of each domain of the split lists though.


Iterations 5.5.1

5.2

5.1Offset the curves creating the vase in order to create a more solid area with a void in between. First had the offset distance the same as the line lengths.5.2 Had the lines reversed directions. I thought the spheres would meet on the other side of the small gap between the offset lofted surfaces but this didn’t really happen.5.3 Increased the distance of the lines (unattached to the offset curve distance) so that the lines would meet in the middle. Reminds me of an anemone.
