We talked yesterday - keep on pushing. See Xueyan's comments for upcoming assignment requirements.

I did it! It was hard but fun! Sadly I spent mostly of my time on T-Splines... I guess the next step for me is applying the weaverbird/grasshopper to give the shape a texture/pattern. Also since I know how to make this starfish sphere, I will also be able to do iterations of it, there is even a possibility for me to write a grasshopper script for it, the tough part would be the compatibility between grasshopper and Tspline. From my study, the script will only work when the grasshopper outcome is a manifold surface, so that Tsplines can take in the shape and smooth it.

Dingwen, take a look at these for textures/perforations.

Very interesting project - see comments I gave everyone else. With your project, really emphasize the process of getting where you got - I think this will be the most fascinating piece.

Thanks Joe. I read everyone else's critiques and looked at the projects. I'm a little bit stuck with mine.

I figured if I build one physical module of this shelf I could do it from steel rod and CNC'd plywood, which would be a reasonable amount of work to do. For next week, though, I'm thinking just a small scale lasercut piece using chipboard and wire. (though I read your comment to someone about trying to get on the CNC as quickly as possible, so I can do that instead if it would be more helpful.)

I'm not totally sure how to model the Hilbert curve and still have it fit the requirements of this prompt. The boards for the shelves are easy enough to model on the computer and cut. Then I can generate the dimension for each individual bit of the big curve and cut rods to that length and then weld them, but I feel like that's an overly-analogue approach. I could design a corner joint? or CNC a few jigs to help me with the welds? What do you think?

Tbh I would much rather weld than design a joint. I think it would be more stable.

Not overly analogue at all - do whichever is a more interesting option for you. The 3 pieces/ 30 piece minimums are guidelines at best - just come to class with something physical.

Hi Joe,

Please find attached my Grasshopper file for my first attempt, as well as an attempt for another project in case I can't amend the first file.

Best regards

Leo

Looking good - keep pushing. Think of materiality and connections between pieces.

Thanks Joe. I have one issue in that one of the pieces won't bake. It doesn't matter how much I move the number sliders and pieces and graph, at least one piece won't bake!

Post up the script and let me know which part you are baking.
