Design Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For my vessels, I decided to use sine waves that move radially around a point for the base shapes of my forms. This allowed me to change multiple parameters: frequency, amplitude, radius, and height. I also used the z-twist code we went over in class and added an x-twist that could also be modified. They did not utilize the x-twist for the first two vessels, but the last one did. This is mostly due to how little variability the x-twist gives to the forms so few interesting forms were created by modifying it, but the last vessel does utilize it since I wanted to utilize it in at least one of my final vessels. After creating the first vessel, and seeing its potential flower-like visuals, the second vessel followed this design inspiration, the final vessel was, as previously mentioned, more of a goal to utilize the x-twist that the other two did not, so I wanted it to differ from the other two vessels more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parametric Design Process Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Creating objects via programming, in comparison to just modeling in Rhino, makes it easier to create iterative forms and in this case objects with easy-to-adjust parameters. In the case of this assignment, it was much easier to see the change in real-time than in just Rhino where changing one part of the object wouldn’t change until the parameter was finalized. 3D printing is known for being great for quick prototyping and this showcases itself here. While some prints do take a very long time it is not time putting manual labor into it, most of the process is fairly hands-off outside of making sure the print hasn’t failed mid-print. A more traditional making process would be much more labor intensive, and I don’t think I could personally create these vessels myself.

The advantage of this kind of process is that inputting data or adjustable parameters makes it much easier to create something where this is needed. However, it is less useful when creating something more organic or something where there is a very clear vision in mind. In these cases creating the object itself geometrically or sculpted digitially may be much easier. In regards to 3D printing, it is good at prototyping but there are only so many materials that are cost-effective and easy to use, and even while minimizing the print lines in a piece it might just not be smooth enough for the final use case. A resin printer might mitigate this in some cases where a mold can be made and anything that can be cast can be used as a material as the print would be very smooth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative Agency and Intent Reflection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When designing my vessels, outside of the initial choice to create the base shapes with sine curves, I mostly adjusted the parameters until I found something that I liked. I did try and look at inspiration from vases and cups but it did not lead me anywhere too interesting when I had tried to implement it into my vessels. For the first vessel, I sketched very loose shapes I thought might look nice, this one being more flower-like which also inspired the second one which I find to also be very flower-like. I mostly wanted to see if I could make variety in shapes as well, trying to make each vessel unique while still using the same basis.

I do find my authorship more disconnected from these vessels than I would in a more traditional design process. I am not sure if this is because I think about a more traditional design process, for me personally, as digital painting. When I create a digital painting, while it is still digital, I feel a much stronger sense of authorship. I feel in the case of this assignment that my sense of authorship is more attached to the code than to the final vessels since the Grasshopper and Python code is what needed more effort to set up and is what ultimately was used to create the vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
