a beautiful mess @ NYU site
In this week’s exercise, I focused on the learning of the linear pattern and created a few variables out of it. The linear pattern is basically about two parts, creating a shape/polygon using dots and lines, and producing it on a designated line/curve. The first variable that I created is based on Marcela’s tutorial, but … Continue reading Grasshopper
Paneling Tool Notes on the Flowed Object: Flow (to align an object according to a curve) Rebuild (to give more subdivision to an object) ptGridSurfaceNumber (to give points to the surface of an object) ptPanelGrid (the paneling tool) p.s.: use the control key to create curves on the z-axis and extrude on z-axis Notes on … Continue reading Rhino

Fashion has been … Continue reading Project2 Proposal
In the actuator exercise, we made an electronic actuator on our own by wrapping the electric coils around a 3d-printed (by Marcela) cone (it is hollow and we used a toothpick to connect the cone and rectangle-shaped pick, with a magnet inside) using the sewing machine. For the circuit part, note that there is an … Continue reading DIY Actuator and Mechanisms
In the inflatable exercise, I learned to distinguish and utilize the functions of different equipment, like motor pump (dc motor that pump and suck air), solenoid valve(three ports, two to connect with the motors, and one to connect with the inflatable), silicone pipe(to connect the motor and valve), TIP transistor(to translate the voltage sent with … Continue reading Pneumatics & Inflatables
