009 | Knowledge Pattern


there are three separate surface types being projected upon. all three are controlled by the same curve number parameter. each surface has its own udf file and catalog. the bottom surface is a quadrilateral fill with passing point. the next is a closed multi-section surface made with three quadrilateral sections. the last is an open multi-section surface with three curves for sections.

008 | Smart Powercopia


the heights of the tubes are driven by the three points hovering next to the framework. these are each given z values as a random number between 50 and 500. The distance of arc opening of the framework is also given a random value between 550 and 1000 (the limits I found that allow it to continue working). The tubes are then colorized based on a rule of the avg circumference of their opening. The initial sketch spline can also be moved to change the aggregate plan/perimeter of the tubes.

006 | Powercopies




used framework 1 from assignment 005 to insert cells which were then powercopied to fill in the rest of the framework




Ive got the power.... to transform the framework and therefore transform the powercopies
