-  Thank You  -

Playing around with different ideas

All 5 projects are done and ready to present :)
Will post overall summary tomorrow morning

__________________________


So for this last one I had a few ideas using fractals

-  First Idea  -

The snowflake


Using polygons + rotation + series

I wanted to create a frame to the dimensions and hang them 
(kind of like decorations)

But probably wasn't a good idea SO


-  Second Idea  -

Dodecahedron Fractal

Having played around with lunchbox here's what I wanted to create


Inspiration
(Stolyarov Abstract Fractal)



Dodecahedron within a dodecahedron within a dodecahedron


Inception!



It was too hard to print and froze Grasshopper.. SO


  -  3rd and final Idea  -

Consists of spiral patterns.. this one is a lot more simple then my dodecahedrons!


Will post the rest for presentation tomorrow!

Lunchbox!

Played around with the Lunchbox plug-in using dodecahedrons (why are some words so long?!) and came up with this awesome star dice :)





**This is not my project 5 by the way (it'll be more fractal based)

Project 4 | Parametric Ferris Wheel | Final

Adding voronoi pattern


Adding seats




Adding lasercuttable frame + pegs

Final Script


Dropbox Link for GH + Rhino file


I had a lot of fun creating this ferris wheel for project 4 but will focus more on structural forms and using algorithms in future projects :)

Revision

After having my GH model looked at by both tutors I'll be making some changes by the end of the week.

From Elliot
- More abstract

From Rebekah
- More planar/lasercuttable parts

Plus I still need to add the hanging seats to make it a ferris wheel! At the moment it looks either like a hamster wheel, bingo ball cage, garden hose reel amongst other things lol

Project 4 | Final | Parametric Ferris Wheel

Continuing on from what Rebekah went through with me last week

- Perpend Frames
- Vert2Pts
- Pipes

Basis of waffling (excl. pipes)



Here is what I came up with |



Basis of Ferris Wheel















Will add the hanging parts to the Ferris Wheel later in the week :)

PS. I have the script ready to upload and/or give on usb. Please ask for it if needed
