New Textiles 2011

(8 bit) Angel Fish

I struggled  on what to do for this project as I kept considered doing a 3D print fabric. However, I’m somewhat satisfied with my experience on the embroidery machine as it did give me some ideas on how to tackle my final project. Through Processing, I made a (8 bit) Angel fish by using overlapping [...]

Material Computations

I have always been interested in patterns that were capable of change. For my Computational Design Project, I chose to design a circular pattern that could deform in shape and size. Using Grasshopper, which is a plug-in for Rhino, I used pre-determined values and a code to generate a 3 dimensional cylinder that expands and [...]

Nonwoven Assignment

Due: Tuesday, May 3, 2011 See student designs here Make a piece of flexible nonwoven fabric with some noteworthy characteristic. (An unusual blend of materials, interesting structural characteristics, embedded circuitry, special electrical properties, …?) Create a post that documents your project and add it to the Nonwoven category. Your page should include a photo of [...]

Judy’s study of 3D printed weaving structure

  For this computational textile assignment I want to try the 3D printing textile. It is a good experience of learning! It is my first time to do 3D printing, and I am a new hand in Grasshopper. So the work is challenging. I started from studying the basic structure of weaving, and then tried my [...]

Textured Bubbles

The pattern that I used to generate this code was a old data set that I modified to allow the results I wanted. The data set is a text file that is read by processing though the help of tabs. I acquired the data from a questioner I sent out to friends.

Mirrored Curves

Inspired by the rotational artwork that I used to do when I was a kid, I wanted to create curves that could be rotated about a center point to form a piece of unique art.
