Generative Form

In this assignment we had to find a piece of ornament from Louis Sullivan and trace something that we found interesting in it. Then take it into rhino and use a series of commands: loft, rail, sweep, ect. Once you have something, you then can use another series of operations to develop a form.

I used the lines from the first picture. Took it into rhino, moved the lines in the z_direction, then lofted. Once it was lofted, I mirrored the crap out of the form to produce whats in the other two pictures. I also used this new rendering software called hypershot. You can download a 15 day trial of it for free. But if you want to save the rendered image of it, you need to hit print screen right before its just about rendered. Since its a trial you can't save the rendered image.
