Hybrid Manual & Generative Geometry Workshop
This one-day workshop will explore workflows for combining the intricacy of algorithmic artistic techniques with the expressiveness of manual drawing and 3D modeling. Using Rhino and Processing participants will learn how to use points, curves and surfaces that they model as armatures for procedural designs and conversely how to translate procedural designs into 3D printable geometry. Simple modelling techniques such as lofting and projecting curves will be combined with swarm and physics simulations to create hybrid designs.
- • 12PM – 6PM at the Grand Theater in San Francisco (2665 Mission St. 94110)
- • $180 (6 hours of instruction @ $30/hr)
- • Prior knowledge of these softwares will be helpful but not required.
- • Focus will be on the process of translation.
