 +====== Ornamatics Course at TUDelft ======
 +
 +> **Summary:** //The presentation and resulting scripts/plug-ins made for the Ornamatics course at the [[http://www.bk.tudelft.nl/|architecture facultiet]] at the [[http://www.tudelft.nl|TUDelft]] .//
 +
 +\\
 +
 +===== The course=====
 +
 +The object of this course was to design and develop shape and pattern based ornaments in conjunction with rapid prototyping (3-D printing and milling).
 +
 +This wiki page contains the scripts and plug-ins which I wrote as a result, as well as the presentations (*.ppt) format. Unfortunately there is no record of the presentation itself.
 +
 +\\
 +
 +The plug-ins and scripts on this page are provided as-is without any guarantee. These were written to do a specific task in a small amount of time. I did not put too much time into error trapping and UI.
 +
 +\\
 +
 +=====Shape=====
 +
 +The shape part of the exercise was aimed at designing a column fit for 3-D printing. I tried to mimic a tree's root structure (upside down), which maximized internal intersections (for stability and structural integrity) while minimizing sharp bends (for torque forces). Interestingly, my initial approach which set out to duplicate a natural root structure did not perform well and I had to create another, far more abstract branching algorithm.

 +
 +
 +=====Pattern=====
 +
 +The pattern part of the exercise was aimed at designing a 60*40 cm tile fit for 3-axis milling. I wanted to impose two conflicting patterns on the same tile, each of which would be dominant from a different distance.
