OBDF 310: Animation

This week we had the chance to use animation functions in Grasshopper, it can be accessed by utilizing the slider nodes and mapping the values for frames you wish to record. I think its a very unique method you can access to add some motion control models.

To animate the balls in the structure I first subdivided curves in areas I wanted it to pivot and using the lists of points created by the divide node I was able to select where the ball cans track too. Similar to making objects track into a specific path.

I wanted to design a scene inspired by M.C. Eschers surrealist drawings of endless balconies and mazes. I was hoping I could animate each ball independently with remaped values to control speed and have variance. But for some reason whenever I select multiple curves to subdivide and install the balls, it produces another copy that I wasn't able to fix/trouble shoot. The program feels like a huge grind to learn but Im happy to put some effort or at least attempt to learn it to the best of my ability.

OBDF310 Milestone Project 1: Stacked Slices

My current sliced model for this weeks blogpost. I wanted to test modelling an object in Rhino first and using the mesh as the starting point for the contour slices in grass hopper. I ended up experimenting on different extrusion depths and the vector direction for the slices. Modularity of grasshopper allows for rapid iteration and gives me a couple of choices to pick from. I decided on the vector slices along the y-axis which gave me a very simplified version of the bird but still recognizable. Rough model doesn't need to be detailed because the contour slices simplifies everything else.

REPLICATED/REMEDIATED: MOLD POSITIVES & MATCH PLATE

Last Supper 2023 Medium: Optimistic Students, Instructor, Acrylic, Plaster, Tape Site-Specific Performance We reached the end to this project and were building plaster mould's and finally some traumatic experiences with slip casting and lots of waiting. Good soup <3 We agitate plaster in water to facilitate an exothermic reaction that would lead into it solidifying. Its a great experience like making chowder or adding starch into boiling water except the water is freezing. Finishing this plaster mould. Before slip casting ensure that the mould plates are fully dry, once that is complete start pouring up to the rim and wait for the clay to precipitate. On the first try the clay did form around the plaster, mine but did not really dry but the first once is always di...
