Vessel #1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My first vessel I chose to work off of the base code that we wrote in class. I wanted to try and create a class ceramic vessel shape but with a twist, literally. I looked for inspiration in my camera roll and I found this photo of a Qing Dynasty Chinese vase from when I visited the NYMet. I loosely based my design on this shape, taking inspiration from the long neck\/spout and the rounded main body. I added a fourth radius to create the extended spout. This print took 2 hours and 59 minutes with a 10% infill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought of experimenting with branching for this vase, but ultimately decided not to. This progress picture is what I sent to my friend telling her I could hang out now because I figured if it had not collapsed at this point, it should be alright (and I was correct!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel #2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my second vessel I took inspiration from my own ceramic work. I love creating the bubble-like shapes when throwing, so I decided to create a 3D printed sister for this vase that sits on my kitchen table. I want to try and print a lid for this vessel as well, which is why I ended up opting for the longer neck. I felt that it would aesthetically better suit a lid on top. I added three more radii to create this shape. This print took 3 hours and 14 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vessel #3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this vessel I decided to play around in grasshopper until I found a shape I liked. Because my other two vessels had skinny\/narrow tops, I knew I wanted to try something with a wide mouth. I experimented with the triangle gear parameters and I made a shape that reminds me of a pumpkin. This print took significantly longer than my other two, at 10 hours and 17 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Overall I enjoyed creating these parametric vessels. I have never created anything in a design process like this, so it was certainly a learning experience for me. I remember when I took my first printmaking class my professor emphasized that printmaking was a 2-1 creation process. In the design process for 2-1 creation, there is no immediate feedback of what you are creating and how it looks, versus say drawing. Another example of this would be ceramics, and now I would add in 3d printing as well. No matter how accurate the rendering is in Rhino or Cura, seeing the prints in person is seeing something completely new. I enjoy seeing this as it is a big reveal and makes me feel proud, but also I am able to see the errors that cannot easily be fixed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked the easy manipulation that the code allowed. By just increasing one ‘n’ parameter you have an entirely new shape. However, I do feel like the bugginess and slow loading of Grasshopper discouraged me a bit at times. Because my coding isn’t the strongest, I think it actually would have been faster for me to make my vessels manually in Rhino. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Coming from an art background, my approach to this assignment was an artistic one, and I immediately had ideas of what I would want to create. My ceramics background especially inspired what I chose to design due to my familiarity of making shapes in a similar family. A lot of my art is very loose and asymmetrical, so this was a big switch from how I would approach making a vessel if prompted to me in any other creative environment. I enjoyed playing around with the shapes and seeing what I could make, but I did opt to take inspiration from ceramics pieces. However, my final print was just experimenting, and I think it is my favorite out of the bunch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt limited by my coding capabilities and that got frustrating after a bit. Although I haven’t made any yet, I really want to experiment with making a lid for my vessel, which I am going to make in Rhino to have a little more creative freedom. Last note, I really wish I chose a different filament color, the blue is starting to bug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
