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

Part A<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For part A there were really no issues. I just made y-axis a function that grew larger each oscillation and the x-axis a function that shrunk each oscillation. This resulted in the following tile and tiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part B<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For part B, it was the complete opposite. I knew I wanted to do a triangle tiling since I had a slight idea on how to start it. I knew I had to rotate it somehow but I just couldn’t find the right way to do it which lead to a lot of trial and error. The rotation itself was fine but making it repeat over multiple rows and columns lead to a lot of issues. Sometimes I had a triangle that was in the middle of nowhere. Once I figured out how to make the proper lattice structure, I had another issue. The tiling itself led to a lot of problems as when I’d color it in although I had thought it was closed off completely it would turn out that I had a ton of holes. This is again led to a bunch of trial and error involving changing certain conditionals until I finally got it. (This took forever! If anyone did it fast please let me know I’d love to see how you did it!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For the 3D Printed 3D Tiles, I wanted to make something that represented something occurring in nature. I stumbled across this picture of a diving bird and thought it’d work well. So, I traced the image and made it work for the tiling process as best I could! Other than finding something that interested me, the coding process wasn’t too bad. I had some trouble with the extruding and offset processes but I figured it out in the end by using the bounding box to get a center point. Although my z movement isn’t too complex, I felt like it complimented the fast nature of a diving bird when it dives into the water. The printing process wasn’t terrible either. I had one issue with my prints not sticking to the bed, but I just used glue and that fixed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

At first I wanted to use my triangle tiling, but this had a lot of challenges that I just couldn’t figure out. Then, I wanted to use one of my vessels from large assignment 2. However, I ran into even more issues with this as the object would have an extremely distorted surface morph that looked nothing like the tiling. Therefore, I stuck with my tiling from part 2 and created my own surface with a python block. I decided to go with a tornado-like surface as I thought it’d look cool to have the birds spiraling around a vortex and I was right. The wings of the birds actually led to a nice birds eye view ( \ud83d\ude42 ) of the object too! Enjoy the images!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
