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

a)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For this part of the assignment, I simply modified the code we worked on in class. I didn’t have a specific image I was trying to create with the Escher tiling, but I did want to push the limits of how different the tiling could be from the original shape. This turned out to be really fun, and I especially enjoyed experimenting with the colors, because I was able to program in some gradients, like the one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To create a triangular tiling, I just adjusted the rectangular\/parallelogram tiling so each quadrilateral was cut in half! I experimented a little, and found a tile shape that looks like a bird flying upwards from one angle, and a bird flying downwards from another angle. Again, I especially enjoyed experimenting with the colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

For this part of the assignment, I had an idea: I wanted to make a tiling that used knotting patterns, and fit together in a way that created the illusion of unbroken cords. I realized after I finished that I should have put more of the 3D design into the code, but it was too late by then. I only created the base for each tile in the code. The rest I did manually in Rhino. If I would have done it in Grasshopper instead, I would have had to do much less copying and pasting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, since I printed them pretty small (32×32 mm), the details on the prints were a little messy, but I cleaned them up as much as I could with tweezers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Creating the surface morph was again, fairly simple since we went through an example of it in class. The one hiccup I has was that when I created the surface to morph the tiling onto, it morphed very differently than I intended! Up and down were left and right! I’m not sure exactly why, but I found I had to create the surface by revolving a curve around an axis (rather than lofting cross sections of the surface) to get the orientation I desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the tiling and the original cylinder we used in class:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
