Research & Ideation

First, search "What is a parametric pattern?" After watching the recording lecture, review especially about parametric fashion. While I was traveling,looked for parametric examples in familiar.

New tools like Rhino and Grasshopper appeared, causing a lot of confusion! Started by watching YouTube tutorials and tried creating programming on Grasshopper in the same way.

References & Inspiration

One of my themes is tea leaves, so I thought it would be interesting if the leaf shapes or veins could be made parametrically. However, since I still didn't fully understand Rhino or Grasshopper, I wondered if I could start by creating a simple design, so I decided to try making a parametric triangle.

Process and workflow

Step 1.

I tried creating a parametric pattern with triangles

Step 2.

First, start by adding Grasshopper as an attachment in Rhino." From Rhino's top toolbar, go to 'Tool,' find 'Grasshopper,' and click on it.

Step 3.

While watching tutorial videos, I’m working on programming in Grasshopper.!

However, the lines appearing on my screen are white, displayed in a different color from the ones in the reference material.

Step 4.

TRY AGAIN

Step 5.

However, the line color doesn not matter. I can change it also the description into full name in order to what each means exactly.

about your images..
  1. Remember to credit/reference all your images to their authors. Open source helps us create change faster together, but we all deserve recognition for what we make, design, think, develop.

  2. remember to resize and optimize all your images. You will run out of space and the more data, the more servers, the more cooling systems and energy wasted :) make a choice at every image :) This image is optimised in size with resolution 72 and passed through tinypng for final optimisation.

footnote fabrication files

Fabrication files are a necessary element for evaluation. You can add the fabrication files at the bottom of the page and simply link them as a footnote. This was your work stays organised and files will be all together at the bottom of the page. Footnotes are created using [ ^ 1 ] (without spaces, and referenced as you see at the last chapter of this page) You can reference the fabrication files to multiple places on your page as you see for footnote nr. 2 also present in the Gallery.

3D Models

upload the 3d models of MakeHuman, Final 3d modelled body, 3D Scans, etc use the fabrication files at the bottom of the page to link and upload models, referencing them with a footnote
