- A few sentences describing your modeling approach for each stage
First, I created the baseline for the sine wave that is the footprint of the panels. Then the sine wave is extruded in the z direction to create the surface. The surface is split into a u/v grid of points based on the size of the image uploaded so that each panel is a square. The points are then used to create physical glazed panels in Revit. Once the panels are created, color information is taken from the uploaded image and projected onto the panel closest to that pixel location. For part 2, the hue and shade of the pixels is also taken into account to increase the panel thickness. For darker colors, the panels are extruded to a maximum of 3 in.
- A brief description of your design outlining the parameters that can be used to flex and dynamically change your structure
The parameters that can be used to change the structure are wall length, amplitude of the sine curve, number of waves of the sine curve, and the number of panels used along the length of the curve (the number of panels stacked vertically is determined based on the ratio of length/width of the image so that the panels are square). The image projected onto the panels can also be flipped vertically or horizontally.
