I created a surface that is ribbed. I mapped color values from an image onto this surface and then I embossed and debossed the surface. Here are the images:
This was the uploaded image to be mapped onto the structure
This was my logic flow:
Part 2: I was able to adapt the color and the depth of the based on the brightness of the sun. Here are the images of that
Here was an overview of my workflow:
For the first part, I created a surface and then I created panels. Next, I imported the file and translated and transposed the image to pixels.
Then I flipped some parts and finally changed the depth of the panels based on brightness of the image pixels. I also embossed and debossed it based on this brightness.
To create the structure, I created different points on a line for the leaf base, mid leaf and end leaf. I created a sin wave for the base leaf and created rib points to create the surface.
I then created the surface. Then to adapt to the sun, I panelized the surface and changed the size of the panels and colors of the tiles based on the sun.
