3D Objects 310

This week has been a bit trickier for me to be honest. Grasshopper has been quite the learning curve for me. I started this week designing a custom table and messing around with the leg thickness and length primarily. It wasn't too difficult, but I fount that I kept running into the issue where the legs would continue to overlap. I eventually just decided to make it so that the legs wouldn't get so large and limited their size. After the table, I decided to take a spin off the segmented table that Bryan made and more points & sliders to influence the shape of the overall design. My struggle with this wasn't designing the shape, but actually in animating it. I spent quite a while trying to remember how to make the animation go in reverse, but alas couldn't figure it out on my own. After some very useful advice I was able to figure it out, but wasn't able to figure out how to perfect it. In the end I'm happy with what I created regardless of it's flaws, an...

 It was definitely interesting using grasshopper for the first time seeing as there's a lot to take in. The instructional videos were pretty straight forward which was nice, and I didn't really run into any complications with following along. The videos and demonstrations sparked several ideas on making some intriguing organic shapes although I have not been able to dedicate the time to be able to fully explore them. Using what I've been taught through these videos, along with what I believe I will be learning in the near future, I want to render some organic iceberg shapes that I can play with and render. Just an idea though. After trying to explore some shapes on my own the only complication I ran into was trying to remember how to join polysurfaces together to make a complete form.
