Design Journal Entry - Module 2

Walk in the Park

My modeling approach for this assignment was step-by-step, as laid out in the instructions. I used a lot of integer sliders to provide easier flex and started with a smaller grid of 20x20 to iron out any kinks in the mechanisms, allowing it to run faster in between changes and additions. In the end, when I put it to 200x200, I had an issue with the max distance variable, as I wasn’t quite sure what that was, but then I realized that this was simply the park length, and that made it run smoothly. I added a lot of sliders in the sin wave portion, which allowed me to mess around very quickly in the end until I found a nice pattern that I wanted to end up with.
