OBDF 310 [02.) BLOG POST: 160x160mm Robotic drawing (part 1)]

 

1.) Prepare a 160x160mm cell (rectangle) in rhino.

Okay but first step - and I wonder how many people will miss this - will be when you create a new document that you make sure you have it set to Small Objects - Millimeters.

 

 2.) Within this square, create any design for a drawing you wish.

Rotations, etc etc


3.) Utilize the "fill patterns" grasshopper definition from class to hatch in closed regions as desired.

 I got this for, however note that remaining whitespace

 I'd like to fill the in-between space with circle-fill, however 


 Doing so just places the circles over everyhthign - which is fine - but I wonder if there's a way to have it only fill the in-between spaces and not the other shapes?

4.) Save this file and have it ready and on hand next class.

Experiments in Extreme Format Shifting and Physical Object Creation

What I want to explore is how I can adapt this to other media? 3d printing? How would a heightmap in Rhino affect this?   Now, I have all these and the process for creating them - .mp3 to .wav to .png to edited .png back to .wav back to .mp3 Can I convert the .wav to a spectrogram that can be printed then re-imported back to .wav to .mp3?   What can the introduction of Perlin (or other!) noise to the .png do to the .wav audio? What if I radically compress the .png - what does that sound like? What about other extreme format shifts back to audio?   Combination of an image and an audio file? What about a pen plotter? How to make 3d? Or flip it: image -> wav, edit the wav, -> back to image?     Maybe: painting -> .wav -> edited .wav -> new painting?   Can I create a cycle of iteration through integration of a 3rd transformation?   How would a print to a transparency re-importaed back to .wav affect the audio?  How far can I push t...

OBDF 310 - Vornoi Flowers

Image
Welcome To OBDF 310: STUDIO PRACTICE IN OBJECT DESIGN   First post of this class!   I'll start out with what I ended up with after a lot of learning, playing and experimentation - a vase voronoi sphere flowers with a backdrop of a massive voroni structure: So this assignment was a week to pick up the basics of Grasshopper was challenging but inspiring, it's so easy to see how this can make problems in Rhino I've struggled with not only a lot easier, but sometimes - such as in the case of the voronoi spheres later on - even possible at all. Didn't really run into any technical issues, the tutorial was really straightforward - really it's just a matter of getting familiar with the tools, and that just takes putting the hours in, making mistakes, and figuring out how to fix things. ...I did a LOT of fixing things. I really enjoyed the experience, there's a lot of potential here for creating what look like really complex shapes really simply, and even more interseti...
