Rise and Shine
Part 1
For part 1, I used the Arc.ByCenterpointRadiusAngle command to create the base arc curve. I then used the curve.extrude command to extrude the wall in the Z direction by a specified height. Following the examples this week, I read in the image file and sample the image data, as well as panelize the wall surface using adaptive panel “Rect Seamless Panel-4pt”. It took me a while determine which the image should be flipped, but it became easier after I combined the three options into a list and indexed them.
The parameters that can be changed with a slider in this part are:
- Radius, starting angle, and ending angle of the arc curve
- Height of extrusion in the Z direction
- Number of u and v panels for panelizing the surface (both set to 100 for the best resolution, but should be set to lower for the best runtime
Part 2
For part 2, I created a straight line with a specified length first, then used the formula Amplitude * Math.Sin((Distance * 360 * numberOfWaves)) to transform the line into a sine curve. I then extruded the sine curve in the Z direction using Curve.Extrude by direction and distance. I followed the same procedure as part 1 to read and sample the image data, as well as panelize the wall surface. I made the number of u panels (specified wall width / 8) and v panels (specified wall height / 4) so the panel dimensions are always roughly 4” x 8”. Lastly, I followed the example this week to use the sampled colors to set the heights of the wall panels.
The parameters that can be changed with a slider in this part are:
- Length of the starting line
- Amplitude and number of waves of the sine curve
- Height of extrusion in the Z direction (height of the wall)
- Maximum height of the wall panels
