Scriptedbypurpose


"scriptedbypurpose" is the invited part of an exhibition at the F.U.E.L. Collection in Philadelphia in September for which Marc Fornes & theverymany got involved into by Skylar Tibits/SJET as curator on explicit and encoded processes within design.

here is the very first step, the webpage (beta) and the list of participants (to be completed): read, enjoy, and please come!

070720_SOM_Rhinoscripting_Class


LOG : here are the results of the very first rhinoscripting class I am starting to teach within SOM (Skidmore Owings and Merill LLP) - yet still very basic array space and crude components (two arrays and three curves further) but nice introductory exercice to .VB for the second session of three hours - more to come...

070714_Utilties_GeometrySplitAsAngleAnalysis



Small utility following on a previous experiment "mapping for tailoring" which would split a surface according to Angle anaylis or curvature analysis...

Update : developpment of a generic Rainbow color gradient function according to a a list of pre-set colors - the function is allocating a color gradient according to the number of colors and the order of the defined colors placed into the list...
next step is to deelopped the blending part...



RVB - PROTOCOL:
- subdivide nurbs surface either as point set or polysurface
- calibrate reference vector
- for each surface/points measure angle vector to normal

Extended option (yet not optimal in terms of speed)
- for each angle contour areas, check if subsurfaces are sharing an edge
- if yes delete both edges
- join left boundaries as "angle contour lines"
- split surface

EXTEND: (ie wikipedia)

CALIBRATION: Calibration refers to the process of determining the relation between the output (or response) of a measuring instrument and the value of the input quantity or attribute, a measurement standard. In non-specialized use, calibration is often regarded as including the process of adjusting the output or indication on a measurement instrument to agree with value of the applied standard, within a specified accuracy. (...) Calibration also can refer to judgments made by a prognosticator, for example, a weather-forecaster who states that "there is an 80% chance of rain today," if properly calibrated, will say this on precisely 80% of the days during which it rains.

"INTERIOR DECORATION or décor is the art of decorating a room so that it is attractive, easy to use, and functions well with the existing architecture. The goal of interior decoration is to provide a certain "feel" for the room; it encompasses applying wallpaper, painting walls and other surfaces, choosing furniture and fittings, such as light fixtures, floorplans and providing other decorations for the area such as paintings, sculptures and carpets."
