My first ever GIF :)

This is the first GIF I've ever made and I think it turned out pretty cool. I made every thing in Rhino with Grasshopper then I uploaded the images to the gif making website. I couldn't remember how to reverse the gif using grasshopper so I just used a website that's called exgif.com to reverse it. I was also trying to make the mouth more like a smiley faces mouth but the surfaces kept overlapping so I just went with an elipse for the mouth. below is the grasshopper thingy.

parametric furniture, concepts and preliminary definition

Image
 Here is a rough version of the grasshopper definition. I'm going to continue it once I figure out how to filet the edges of the main shape.  The main shape is a polygon with thick legs.  I started doing some work in rhino. I figured it might be easier to bring the main shape in and filet it and project the pockets in rhino first. Then I would bring it to Grasshopper so it could be altered.  some sketches of what I decided to go with  some of my other ideas

glitched coffee table furniture design

Image
 So my plan changed from the footstool as I was having trouble making soft edges and rotating the pockets to face outwards rather than just up. so I changed gears and instead made a coffee table with randomly generated cubes to form the top of it. the legs and and cubes are fully adjustable with the design.  I was inspired to make it look like a glitch because its fun to blend the digital realm and reality together. It  would also make an interesting statement piece. Though maybe not for a house with children because of all the sharp corners.  Its not often that you see furniture trying to escape its own form. This statement coffee table could be found in any modern or Avant guard living room.  In reality I see this piece being made out of wood or molded plastic.  Here is a scale view and the glitched coffee table by itself Here it is in a plastic material and an animation of the tabletop and the grasshopper definition

The final stretch

Image
 We're almost done the group project :). We cut out and sanded the bench pieces and cut out part of the pieces for the shelves. It was a little trail and error with the tabs and sizing for the shelves but after making some adjustments in grasshopper and rhino we were able to get it done. It took a few hours for the tabs and holes because I did them partly in rhino and partly in grasshopper. I manually placed all the holes for the interior corners and adjusted the sizes to fit the thickness of the wood in rhino. Then I took the pieces into grasshopper and adjusted the thickness. It took a bit of time for it to load because of all the pieces. Thanks to Jess for making the tab grasshopper and Daniela for double checking my work.  The nested shelving unit. Daniela added some channels for the eventual addition of tables.  My edits to the grasshopper, changed the thickness and brepped the shapes from the rhino adjustments.  For some reason the list item didn't wanna work f...
