FORCES OF NATURE // BREATHE

The aim of this assignment will be to create an live-interactive installation using forces as  parameters using Kangaroo as main engine.

The main goal will be to build a simple interface where the user can “play” with inputs such as attractors, sliders, functions and time to transform an object in space.

The selected location for the installation will be the IaaC rooftop area.

PSUEDO CODE

  • ASSIGN A MESH.
  • DRAW ANY SORT OF CURVE AROUND THE MESH
  • EXTRACT THE CENTRES FROM THE MESH FACES AND PULL THE POINTS CLOSEST TO THE CURVE
  • WITH THE CULLED FACES WHICH NOW IS INTERDEPENDENT ON THE EXISTING CURVE AND ITS AREA OF INFLUNECE
  • ASSIGN THE INGREDIENTS FOR THE KANGAROO SOLVER ( edge springs , edge length , pressure , load and smooth ) ONCE THE STRUTURE BEHAVES LIKE A BREATHING ORGANISM , SUBDIVIDE THE MESH AND WEAVE THE MESH TO ENHANCE THE AESTHETIC PART OF IT.
