Vase Variations

This was a particularly interesing variant that i found occuring as I changed the step on one of my sliders
Step = 0
Step = 8

TO explain my low-res image, I set up 9 series’ and fed 3 of each into a construct point tool. For the z coordinate of each however, I first fed the series through a x^2 function. I decided to do this to try and get a curve. Having created these point I then used them in the Create Circle from 3 Points tool, giving me a variety of circles which I then fed into a loft command. Initially I just wanted to see what i could create purely from Grasshopper, but as I experimented with the sliders more and more I discovered that they could create seemless shapes quite easily and so stuck with it to create my variety of ‘vases’.

WK 2
Here in my trialling of surface division I played around with what elements I could relate to points and some different arrangements of that

WK 3
This was an initial trial after the demonstration was given in class
Playing with rotation values

This one was cool because the small branches zoomed in on became fractal.

In this one I reset the start curves hexagonally to to and recreate a snow flake

These 2 were varieties of this manor of generation

This one still had the six arms but I rotated their initial starting positions 3 dimensionally. The top image is the TOP view and the bottom is a perspective of the generated form

These two were alot more effort to create. It uses the same princi-ple as the Anemone L Systems but applied to a 3D tube. The first one is the basic tree, and the second one applies a relative down scale of the tube radius as well. It really looks like sprotuing flowers which is interesting.

WK 4
Experimentation taken from class, with a form being created by dividing surfaces of a pyramid over 6 iterations. The above has new surfaces x0.3 of the original, the below has x0.8.

Same process applied to a triangulated NURBS surface

My first attempt at applying the same process to spheres, but instead with the new speheres sprouting from the top and bottom. The left is without recorded data, the second is.
![Page 17: Graf joshua 587672 Algorithmic Sketchbook Week 4](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022020223/579053551a28ab900c8be9e5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This one is the same but with the smaller spheres only being reproduced at a x0.3 scale. It was another fun example where the pattern would continue even as you zoomed in.

I then attempted to set it up so that each successive sphere would create new spheres on 6 of the vertices. My inital attempts (left) produced some very unexpected results, but I eventually got it to work.
