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

The design approach to this part was simple. In the escher tile web application I designed a tile then exported it as a jpeg. In Rhino I imported the jpeg as a wallpaper, and traced two of the curves. After the top and bottom curve was created I associated each curve with a curve block in grasshopper and utilized the code we generated in class. Here is my result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Part 2 was a little more complicated, and took a lot more creativity. For my base tile shape I went with a hexagon, seemed the most interesting basic tiling shape. To create each hexagon I would traverse the lattice via a double for loop, at each intersection of i and j I would generate the shape. I plotted 6 points in a circle, incrementing 60 degrees for each point around the center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the shapes were generated, I began generating the 3D shape on top. To do this I placed a python block after the shape generation block and manipulated it. I ran out of creative juices so I made two designs in the hopes it would satisfy the assignment requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>

For this shape I began by extracting each point from the hexagon and finding the center of all the points. I placed two lines across the shape starting at two different points and ending at their opposing side. Once the lines were created, I got their intersection. This was the center point I linked the three lines to. It resulted in this cool box illusion.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The final shapes I created were these flower looking tiles. I wanted to generate something that could give two different patterns out of one tile. Designing this is a little difficult to explain. Using the same technique from my previous design I extracted points from the original shape and found points between them. I then lifted them on the z axis and made an opening 10 degrees wide. I then connected each of the points with a line and used edge surface to put it all together. I started with much more ambitious designs but ran out of time. However, I am happy with how it came out.

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

The surface morph was by far the most challenging for me. I used the first 3D design because I thought it would look a lot cooler on a vase. The first challenge I experienced was having to re configure the 3D design so the lattice was at a 90 degree angle, instead of 60 degrees. I was able to achieve this by placing the centers of the hexagon in different locations. For one row the center of the hexagon would sit at the lattice intersections, the next row would start in the center of lattice square. Once this was done, surface morph was able to properly wrap the tiles around the vase. Once it was wrapped I realized the tile sizes were off. I tried many things, but could never get the sizing exactly right for it to look perfectly sized on the vase. After awhile I began to like the way it looked so let it be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took it one step further and try to print out the vase. This came with a lot of challenges itself, due to my sizing issues. I originally tried to create a solid in grasshopper but ended up having to bake the vase and tiles separately then boolean union them in rhino. Printing was also challenging because the tiles stick out very slightly so it definitely needed supports. However, that would’ve taken up a lot of material and time so instead I printed without supports. Here is the final product (excuse the poor image quality).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
