3d profiles

The model is complete! It is really big so I had to divide it into numerous separate files. I'm posting a plan and perspective pic of the uppermost level. I'm rebuilding all the surfaces to smooth it out and to reduce the size of the file. Once this is done I will post an image of the whole thing.

sweep sweep

Wed, 28 May 2008 21:19:12 +0000

My friend Simon helped me with a script for sweeping the curves. It doesn't sort out the edges so I will have to go back re-sweep but it does allow me to get a quick preview of what the model will look like. I have to re-project some of the curves because they are crashing into other curves in an undesirable way and I have to work out where I am going to thicken the curves so that they meet the layer above, creating both another (super-glam) inflection point and provide the structural support necessary for the model/building to stand (it also creates a hiearchy of inflection). I also have to make a suface for the floor level.

eureka!

I figured out how to get that perfect sweep over the profiles so that the joint remains smooth and the profile is always perpendicular to the curve! YAY! Sadly, its gonna take forever to do all of them :(

plan view of profiles which define body

This is the final plan of the profiles that define the body of the Church. Each color designates an aspect of the function of the space. The plan has been cut at approx. halfway up the volume and the profiles above that point have all been dotted in.
