A few sentences describing your modeling approach for each stage

In Part 1, I imported an image of Hello Kitty. I set the number of panels in the u and v directions based on the arc length and wall height. I also mapped the image colors onto an arc-shaped wall surface by sampling the pixel data and applying those colors to adaptive panels using a rectangular panel grid and used 100 panels.

In Part 2, I imported an image of traditional Chinese architecture. I controlled the number of bricks, and maintained a consistent 4” × 8” aspect ratio with 100 panels. I extracted the brightness values from the image and used them to control the height of each panel on a serpentine wall surface, creating a 3D relief effect based on image contrast.

A brief description of your design outlining the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change your structure

• Different pictures from the files (using 0, 1…)
• the arc’s radius, and ending angle
• Size of the surface
• Panels' size and aspect ratio (u and v)
• Panels’ family types
• Sample the image data (u and v)
• Flipping the image vertically, horizontally, vertically and horizontally, or no flip (using 0, 1, 2, 3…)
• Brightness values from the sample image (e.g. range of heights from 4” to 36”)
• Height of the wall (z)
• Length of the wall
• Curve of the wall
