Part 1: 2D Tiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I took inspiration from an image I found while researching for my final project and came across an Escher tile of fishes. So I imported the image of the Escher tile and traced it with polyline. This is where issues began since I kept getting an error message “Parameter must be a Guid or String representing a Guid”. I didn’t know what this meant so I tried different avenues and retracing my steps. First I made sure the curves were connected at the origin, but noticed this will only affect the creation of the tiles not the Offset. Next I figured Polyline is not a curve so I converted them into curves via a function in Rhino. This modified the polylines to have curvature which ultimately changed how my figured came out. Once I was able to get the basic tiling and used the sliders found in my grasshopper code to further modify my shape. It came out better than I expected and the added curves gave the final form a more fish like appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part B:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to create a triangular 2D tiling since I had an idea on how to create the lattice. I figured since we are creating our lattice with an A and B vector we could do the same with triangles just with a different angle. The vectors will be 60 degrees and will need two different orientations to create our triangle. As you build the row of triangles you will alternate between the two different orientations. Following this process will create triangle without tops, but this won’t be an issue because as we build it in 2D the second row will create the tops for us. The following row will have to begin the opposite pattern from the previous row in order to get the proper pattern. In the end I was able to get the proper triangle pattern from the slides but some adjustment was needed in the move object so it gets positioned correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2: 3D Printed 3D Tiles <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was really excited to begin creating a 3D tile since I knew what would be perfect for this assignment. When learning how to use rhino in the first large assignment we used rail revolve and figured this would be perfect for this assignment since, my first iterations didn’t turn out so good. I needed to establish a center point in my tile that will begin at the base and end at some height level. This line will have to be in the Z axis so I add height to the tile. Then I needed to create a profile curve as this will act as the base curve for the revolve. The hardest part was creating the profile curve since interpolating along the Z axis can create weird points. The revolve came out perfect which gave it the curvature I needed for a fish body and added sharp lines which made it appear like a sea shell. It even retained the ability for pieces to fit together in either direction. To add a little more flare I even printed them in UNM colors and added some blue to aid in the contrast of the different tiles pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3: Surface Morph <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I recreated one of my surfaces from my Parametric Vessels and removed the twist from it to get a clean surface. Then I used the code we developed in class to surface morph the tiles I created in part 1. I only problem I had was the surface morph was failing since I didn’t realize I was passing in a brep so I had to recreate the code as mentioned before to produce the proper surface. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
