Surface Topology

Here are some images of what I intend to send the mill… we are going to send the files to Associated Fabrication… here are some of the pictures from our visit there: PHOTOS

Here is a quick video of the mill in action:

This code is based on Dan Shiffman’s recursive tree example… modified it a little to have different trees in terms of branch timing and branching angles…

Self Conscious
Expanding Interactive Video – midterm

– Sitting with back to the audience, head down, eyes closed
– Eye Tracking gear on (one camera on my eye and one facing forward)
– Laptop in hand
– Ask everyone to turn on their own web cams and arrange them so people behind can see each others screens
– Music starts
– Fades from black to image of my eyes opening
– Turn and face the audience
– Start mixing the video reacting to the music

The spirals finally came to life…

Spiral Print

We used a software called Isosurf – normally used for MRIs.

The inputs are basic images of each cross section of the final 3D model.

Out assignment was to come up with a series of images to feed into Isosurf to come up with abstract and unexpected forms.

Here is the result.

Play with adding Fishes (press M) or adding Flies (B) 🙂

Midterm project.

The idea is to illustrate the “Rich get richer” phenomena. The fish eat the flies and get bigger, and therefore can jump higher and stay longer in the air. The fish that don’t eat get smaller and eventually die.

This is what I think I am going to go with for the print… using the Ying Yang symbol rotated…
