Tessellation.Fold(s)_v1.

Here you are.
I'm sure most were starting to wonder...will Peter ever leave curves?
This exercise studies tessellation(obvious...). But not any regular old tessellation, something more interesting dealing with depth and hinting at structure.



Inspired by origami, I decided to script a common folding pattern to see the process on how to create the geometry digitally. Second step for me will be how to control my tessellation to keep it from distorting too much. Third one (which is most interesting) is if at the end I can flatten the geometry into one sheet for laser cutting and fold it into shape....only time will tell, and I'm couple days away from flying off to Paris....hope to update soon!.

Radial_(Rnd)Expansion_v1.

This is it, my last Vb script I'll be writing for fun. I have officially switched over to IronPython, since now maya is also using it as part of their melscript. (yay!)

In this script I looked into working with vectors (believe it or not) to control the direction of the expansion. its a pretty simple script, basically it takes a circle, divides it into points and then creates a line ready to expand outwards via copy.

:Color is starting to become a big thing in these scripts for me, so hopefully I'll start to make some really interesting connections and figure out a combination that really speaks to me.

Casestudies_v1.

Ok. I'll lets be realistic, I'm not in studio and all the scripts thought of have been written. What I'm really doing is beating a dead horse, making something pretty and trying to gain some insight on computation while doing it.

So here I present you Circles! its all the about the color. ;D

Branch(s).ing[z]_v1.

I'll be honest, this is probably the easiest script to write.
I'm no code expert but this is a kick start to hopefully a exciting future.
keep in touch and you'll hopefully see some fun/interesting things on here.

Things studied/developed,

:looping and storing arrays

A sample of code will be added soon.

Sukkah City - trial and error

I was given a chance to work with THEVERYMANY as an intern on their Sukkah city competition after they had won, the project contained:

49,722 holes

25,000 rivets

10,420 text

5,257 unique parts

120 hours of CNC

60 sheets of walnut veneer

Half of it being coordinated/built by yours truly. ;P

Due to the nature of this type of competition research and development was rushed and the need to produce halted further research time needed to study strengths and weakness of material used "Veneer".

We had divided the Sukkah into several parts for construction purposes. Assembly took place and as we added on layers, as the increase of weight steadily grew we could slowly see the feet buckle. After putting on the second to last part, the feet remained the same and we were confident that the sukkah would last the competition.

The design had succeed in almost every aspect we needed to think about except transportation. The ride on a flatbed truck over Manhattan bridge turned out to be too much for the Sukkah and when it had arrived it had collapsed onto itself.

This was a good lesson to learn but quite a hard one to swallow.

So I'm going to grab a beer see you all again.

Plastic Wall System

A project that my classmates and I put together...it was quite an effort...







We were able to obtain the best of both worlds in this project...the idea of infinite variability through digital methods, A mold that could form any variable and then a quick build system.

White Wall?

A scripting project dealing with 2 variables and 2 directions.
