Project 3 process

Project 3 concept:
Online I found a tutorial talking about a logic that could be applied to my project 2 with modification,  By controlling the point moving along the curve I set in Grasshopper, all the surrounding geometry simultaneously response to the movement of the point and make transformations. In project 2, Lola Run, the movie I chose, the character was running in a U shape route. Therefore, what I intend to acheive in grasshopper is to simulate the character's movement and show how it could affect the space around it. By using the slider and recording its changing condition, it illustrated the time factor which goes with the spactial transformation.
Challenge:
At first, I struggled alot to change the position of the "honey comb" shape to meet the curve. Yet there is not any helpful information online. Sophia told me to use bake. Aafter I baked it, a new geometry was generated, yet it could not be controled by grasshopper. Then thanks to Gene's advice,
I tried Move command and could move it. Yet the original geometries are still there. One compromising solution could be using preview command to hide the original geomtries, yet when I manipulated the point along the curve, it could response to the hidden geometries which is an unwanted result.

The idealistic goal I envision could be to apply this 2D skin to attach to my project 2 digital model and draw a U shape 3D curve to better simulate the process happened in the film.

Grasshopper tutorial practice

After three times trials, I suceed in the last time on sunday. This time, I wrote down all the key commands to keep myself be awared  of what goals the author was trying to obtain . Yet  more time is still needed to really think through the logic and the intention behind these commands.

The notes I took is as follows:
set curve
draw a polyline
view-plane radius-100
set integer:2
curve-perp frames
list item, set integer:1
vector-point-point polar
slider
cuver-analysis-end points
polyline
panel, first part of array; second part of array
flatten the input, true/false
sets-trees-flatten trees
list item, ctrl c, ctrl v
slider type: integers
list-shift list
W(rap)-set boolean-true
shift the whole list
polyline
joining them and shifting them to give them an order
ctrl c and ctrl v the whole logic, set it to another curve
deal with multiple segments
ctrl c and ctrl v, cut that into a new document
divide curve
troubleshoot the problem by using panel
(three deep in the array? four deep in the array?)

Project1_Tile_3D_printing

It is really exciting to see the outcome of project in rhino becomes a physical object with a pure white tone. It could be a very good way to explore spatial character. Just holding it, looking through the openings and rotating it could spur me to think further about objects and the space they generate.
