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

For the polygon lattice tiling I just used some curves that I thought were interesting. I didn’t have any major issues with this process. I also used this pattern for the surface morph in part 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to generate a hexagonal tiling. I had some trouble using the lattice from class so ended up building the lattice structure a little differently. I used the top left corner of the hexagon to rotate three hexagons around, then moved that centeral point away for the next area of rotation. As for the construction of the hexagon itself I used three curves, each set of duplicate curves are on neighboring segments of the hexagon (there is a better visualization of this with my lizard tile).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I designed a 3D tile from the first 2D tile designed in part 1. I designed it by lofting the curve with another offset curve and a manually designed curve. The tile and its tiling can also be seen under part 1 and 3. Each one took about an hour to print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was also inspired by Escher’s Reptiles (pictured below). I wanted to do my own rendition of a lizard tile. I used the hexagonal tiling I made in Part 1 as the base for the lizard and adjusted the curves. It took some trial an error to get a decent design. For the 3D aspect I did a series of manual lofts between segments of the curve in rhino. I tried several other techniques but had issues due to the complexity of the curve. Each print took about 2 hours and 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

I used the tiling I created from Part 1 to morph a surface that I created in Large Assignment 1. I followed the steps we went through in class and didn’t have any significant issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
