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

While creating my vessels I knew I wanted to create a vessel with sharp edges almost like a star, but with multiple edges. Then I wanted to see what kind vessel I could create by adding a twist to the figures we created in class. I was able to create the different base curves by looking at mathematical formulas for their shapes. Such as using sin to create a flower pattern then adjusting n to create a certain number of pedals. Once having the functions I manipulated the sliders to see what kind of figures were generated. Depending on the object generated I will also try different rhino objects like Polyline or InterpCurve to get the desired figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

While creating objects via programming it allowed for more consistent figures versus the traditional process. While using rhino to create the objects if I didn’t the save or create multiple copies of the figure it would always come out different. By using grasshopper I’m able to have more precise control on what parameters are being changed. Even if the changes I made didn’t work out I could always change it back via the parameters or the script itself. Also since we’re creating objects via scripts we are able to create more complex figures without the manual input. The one disadvantage I can see is that without the physical representation more errors are likely to occur due to compatibility or user input. I also believe there are limitations creating objects via programming since if the user doesn’t fully know the capabilities of the program it may limit what the user can and can’t do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I want to know what sharp edges can become via the python script and if my 3D printer is able to produce the figure. I knew I wanted one of my vessels to have multiple sharp edges with a concave center. As shown in the pictures my printer was able to print the design. I accidently left the thickness at the max, but it worked out since you can see how the concave affected the center of the vessel. One of the figures I wanted to use flower pedals and have it appear at each level. However, when messing with the parameters I was able to create a figure that reminded me of a volcano with a smooth outer surface. Authorship does feel different since we are using an algorithmic approach instead of iteratively with rhino directly. Also this approach allows for us to think of a process versus thinking of every detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
