Figure 3: Panels adapting to sun directness

Description

Part 1:

This project used the same controlling curves as Module 3 Assignment and the surface was created by the controlling curves as well.

Figure 4
Figure 4

As shown in Figure 4, the surface was panelized by setting U and V values, then the image was read, then U and V values were set to be the input of xSamples and ySamples for Image.Pixels Node.

Figure 5

A list was created to offer different mapping choices and could simply switch by changing the input values in the Code block.

Figure 6
Figure 6

In Figure 6, the color list was flattened and the color brightness was analyzed and used as an input to calculate the new height of the panels, the original height could be changed by the number slider.

The embossed and debossed new heights were then added to a new list, and the code block was created to offer the choice of different effects.

Part 2:

Figure 8
Figure 8

The surface was created by using the same logic as part 1, Figure 8 shows the custom node to calculate the strength of sun directness, and all the nodes in the custom node were actually used as shown above the custom node because when I used the custom node, it returned NaN values, but when I copied and pasted all the nodes in the custom node, it worked well.

Adaptive panels then were placed based on the panelized points and panels were flipped, the strength calculated before then was mapped to the Revit model by using the custom node. The details of this custom node as shown in Figure 10.

As shown in Figure 11, to make the panels responsive to sun directness, the vectors were rearranged from 0.01 to 1, and then the rearranged values were used as input for the opening of panels.
