ARCH655 Project 1: Modeling of thallus installation
DESC RIPTION OF ARCH655 PROJECT 1: the modeling of thallus installation The production of this model mainly relies on grasshopper and kangaroo to complete. There are three main steps in the modeling process. 1. Simulating the curve pattern. I started it with a basic curve in Rhino and I divided the curve into a series of points. Now, the curve was a collection of many lines. Then, tether the curve to geometry boundary by using mesh. In this stage, I started to use the Kangaroo plugin to achieve the physics simulation. The first one is Bouncy Solver. I also need to set up the Button, Dumping, Toggle and Strength. Then, I settled the Segment Length for curve which will influence the result. For avoiding the Crossing Curve, I used the Collision. It will give the curves a force to push each other away. Then, I also need to set the angle goal to ensure that Line Segments are smooth and flat. Therefore, set the value to zero to ensure that there is no angle between them. Next
