Part 1: 2D Tiles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For part 1 A. I used the idea of the code we did in class and took it in my own direction. Instead of creating and aligning all the edges systematically to fit together. I tried  designing a single base hexagon shape that could span a plane.   Afterwards I made a Echer title that had the same bounding span,this  means I could make one Echer shape and duplicate and move it in the same way as the base shape. This cut down on time to implement and total code complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For part 1 B. I already title a with a hex as base shape for my escher title. I went with a triangle with a parametric side length. I need to look up some simple math formulas to tell if a triangle exist you have to follow the rule: \u201cthe sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side\u201d. The code for triangle a makes a rectangle , rotates the base triangle 180 degrees and moves it by an (a,b,0) vector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For part 2 I wanted to help with research for my final project. For this I made flat hexagons that naturally span a plane and drew an optical illusion  that was my background for a few years(image below). This optical illusion was aided by the slicing program to give diction and depth. So testing for my final project,  I had a lot of trial and error to get the layer height of the slicer and the print correct. I needed a herringbone pattern with all the rectangles surface grain pointed short ways rather than long ways or mixed. This was achieved by making the parts layer height difference between the resolutions of the printer layer height and keeping all parts that need the same direction to be on the same level. This falls apart for bigger pieces but for these small ones it works without any intervention from me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

This is where a large percent of my time was spent making this work. The issue arose when I sent all my parts into the bounding box. Give me a list of bounding boxes. I watched a dozen or so videos on surface morph, and did the slides over and over again Try to make it work. I got all my hexes stacked up on eachother. After this was fixed I think the process went as smoothly as it could go. I tried my parameterization vessel form project but it freaked out at the hole and crashes even when opening the file So I picked a simple shape for the cylinder. I tried doing a render and the shadow failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
