This assignment really threw me for a loop. A big problem I had was continuously attempting to combine different parts of the assignment without any form of success. I think I was able to achieve the assignment in the end after doing each of the parts individually instead of all-together, though it took me much longer than anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 1<\/strong>:
I actually spent the most amount of time on Part 1, initially when I read the prompt, for some reason, I thought I was supposed to create an escher tile starting from either a hexagon or triangle tileset, I had spent so much time attempting to create a hexagonal grid that allowed me to adjust the sides to create a unique tileset that I only had about a few hours to get everything else together.
When I finally split up parts A and B: I created this odd leaf looking pattern. The A and B lines are identical. The individual shape looks kinda like a leaf, but I think with the blue\/yellow patterns it reminds me of a lightning bolt of sorts. I was also able to create a hexagon grid using our existing code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 2:<\/strong>
Even after the demonstration, I still wasn’t exactly sure what we were going for with the 3d tiling. I ended up creating a pretty simple 3d shape that would tile together like a honeycomb. In doing so, the physical tiles are hard to keep together to show the actual tiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part 3:<\/strong>
For this part, I took an egg shape that I used from the data representation assignment and used that as my base surface. The tiles don’t seem to perfectly fit when going around the egg, so there is an odd gap in one section where tiles won’t fit. The tiles also would not morph to the top\/bottom of the egg but resulted in a cool looking spikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
