Sanika Dhawan: Project 1 Surface Population

 Concept:

            I honestly had no concept when I started. I decided to make something random in Rhino, including the population object. It ended up looking somewhat like an egg with a hole in the center going through it. After making the populated object, I did some searching and found a necklace with blue beads that closely resembled the populated object I made. My reference picture is linked to where I said "beads."



Process:

            I started off in Rhino to make the root surface along with the population object. Then, I used Grasshopper to make the populated object. For both the population object and root surface, I chose to use random shapes. I used a sphere for the root surface and boxes for the population object. Since it was my very first time using Rhino and Grasshopper, I obviously had difficulty using it and understanding it. However, following along the recorded lectures helped a lot. I don't have access to Keyshot, so I used Rhino for rendering, which I think turned out good enough.





Materials:

            Beads can be made out of wood, plastic, glass, metal, or stone. I chose to use plastic since it looked the best for me in relation to the picture of the beads I was trying to resemble. For the root surface and population object, I let the material stay as the default option which was plaster.
