Part-1: 2D Tile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I decided to tile a hexagon, following the same process we used with the square tile. I started with two vectors at a 120-degree angle but couldn’t figure out how to move those lines to the remaining sides. My next step was to add another line\/vector at a 120-degree angle, which clarified my understanding of tiling with three lines. After figuring out the order for moving the lines, I was able to tile a hexagonal plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the process, I noticed that my indexs for the lines and vectors didn\u2019t match up, so I quickly realized they had to align. Another issue I encountered was that my lines for the hexagon and Escher didn\u2019t match. I spent quite a while trying to fix this, starting by analyzing how my lines and curves were set up to see if I could rearrange them. After rearranging them, the issue persisted. I asked the professor for some advice, which helped me continue troubleshooting. Eventually, I experimented with the order of creating the lines, and that finally resolved the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I think this is where I struggled the most. I wasn\u2019t sure how I wanted to extrude in the z-direction. I wanted to try lofting using Grasshopper functions, but I\u2019m still not very familiar with them. So, I wrote some code to scale the same tile smaller, raise it to a certain z-axis, and loft the two together. Other attempts included lofting the tile with a circle, but the result didn\u2019t work as expected. I think I spent too much time experimenting and refining the first part, which left me with less time for this second part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For this last part, I didn\u2019t struggle with morphing my tiles to a surface. At first, I thought it was strange that they didn\u2019t cover the entire surface, I tried different shapes but they all had the same structure. I concluded that this morphing is due to the way I organized my tiles. As I looked at it more, I started to like my morphed tiles they create a ring-like structure with one side thicker than the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
