Power Copying...








Here are some iterations of origami surfaces. The challenge was (except the manual powerCopying...) how to set up spikes NORMAL to the surface. Basically, those are done by manipulating sin curve functions (to control the curvature of surfaces). Deformation nodes are the followings.

-the span of sin curve
-number of waves
-repetition of waves
-height of the creases
-acceleration of curvature angle (by law)

The next step is to apply scaling to those creases. Well, actually those steps are similar to the physical origami studies from my 3A studio.

By the way, I think FoG stands for Function of Graph. Better guess than Frank O Gehry...

Digital Project

Hope the Rhinoscripting is going good. I just sat through a presentation of Digital project. The program seems amazing and is totally compatible with visual basic, which is good for all of us that started learning. From what Nick Pisca said the plus of Digital Project is its stability, and of course real time parametric updating that rhino doesn't have. Also turns out a lot of other programs can be accessed through windows platform. I don't know the specifics of it but really its this real-time, network, cross-program workflow that is fascinating.
