Assignment: Rise or Shine | Due Mon, May 1st

Overview

In this assignment, you’ll use the surface of the structure that you created for your Module 3 assignment and enhance it in two ways:

  • Mapping color values from an image onto the surface to change the properties of the surface panels. We’ll explore changing the color as well as changing the thickness of the panel elements to create an embossed or debossed effect.

  • Computing the directness of the surface panels to the sun’s position and changing their properties based on these values.
Important Note for Students who Completed Module 3 using Rhino & Grasshopper
