PART 1: 2d Tiles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When designing my base 2d tile I ended up deciding to go with a sin\/cos wave function design. One edge set is cosine, the other is sine. I played around with amplitude, frequency, etc. until I was able to get waves that I liked and also didn’t overlap. For the second 2d tiling I ended up going with a triangular tiling. I wasn’t able to figure out how to modify the example code to generate this kind of tiling, so I ended up starting from scratch and creating the tiling on my own. One challenge I faced was that I realized I couldn’t make the edges anything other than flat since the triangles tile in an right-side-up\/upside-down fashion, meaning every side is adjacent to itself on the neighboring tile. In retrospect I realize I could get around this by having two different tiles that are able to be connected. Below are images of the tilings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PART 2: 3d Printed Tiles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my 3d design I ended up going with a z axis shape that extrudes the base tile, and then after a certain point in z, it begins scaling the tile down until it reaches a small point. I accidentally messed up and made the z point where the extrusion ends higher than the z point where the scaling begins. However, this created a cool concave effect that I really liked, so I decided to leave it in. Below are images from rhino:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PART 3: Surface Morph<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I chose to stick with my same cos\/sin wave function tiles for the surface morph. For the surface itself, I originally wanted to use one of the models I made for assignment 5. However, I quickly figured out that the surface morph function does not work for solids. Since all my models were several surfaces joined together I wasn’t able to pipe a single surface into the function that created the shape I wanted. I ended up generating my own vessel to wrap my tiling. Below are the images from rhino:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
