Design Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process to create my vessels was mainly explorative. Testing each line of code within the python scripts to see how it will affect the overall look. For each print I wanted a completely different pattern. The first vessel was a square pattern with an altered number of squares at each of the four radiuses. The second I was going for a draped cloth look around the vessel. Lastly, the third vessel was a simple triangle ribbed with slight twists along its perimeter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Creating objects via programing and 3D printing allows highly customizable consistent designs. If the programmer is able to mentally picture point (x, y, z) coordinates and groupings there isn’t something they can’t create. Improved accuracy and use of rhino built ins makes things much easier to manipulate and create. A couple major advantages I noticed was object rotating and surfacing. Designing something in rhino, it was tough to get the exact twist or surface created. Programming made things more exact, letting me twist things along the precise z axis or surfacing the outside more consistently. In summary, there are countless freedoms programming allows when creating objects. Interested to see in what other ways programming has an advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative Agency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vessel 1
I began by forming four rings with two radiuses each. The first radius gave the starting diameter, the second radius allowed me to manipulate the length of each block. The input n for each ring varied the amount of blocks per ring. Using these three inputs I was able to lay the points out in such a way that attaching them with a line made one ring. I performed this process 4 separate times for each ring. Once all rings were created I made a descending amount of blocks per ring and shaped them into the vessel you see above. After properly surfaced I baked and printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel 2
I started by forming 4 rings with two radiuses each. First radius gave the inner bound while the second gave the outer bound. The input n gave the amount of reference points to be used during the creation of surface. As the function iterated through n times a random number generator would give the theta angle increment between 0-3 degrees. Each iteration would also have a random generator to increate or decrease radius 1 and 2 by +\/- 3. Once points were created, InterpCurve was used to connect them. Once rings were created the vessel was surfaced baked and printed. The randomness gave a cool cloth like look to the entire vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel 3
Just like the previous there were 4 rings created with two radiuses each. The first radius gave the starting diameter while the second gave the outer diameter. The input n gave the amount triangles per ring forming the cool ribbed texture. Using these three inputs I was able to lay the points out in such a way I could connect them with a line. Once each ring was created they were shaped to give the vessel shape, then surfaced baked and printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of the vessels took on their own challenges especially vessel 2. Since it mainly used randomness to generate, it was tough to get it to surface properly. I had to keep messing with the settings to generate one that was entirely solid. During the creation of these vessels I felt the design process was vaguely traditional. The programming made it more intimate in the design generation, but the overall pattern of creation seemed universal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
