TASK 4 - WED 7 MAY

A reminder that student lab access at this stage requires either myself or Eliot to be available for supervision as part of your induction process.

*** Your models for tasks 1 and 2 are due NEXT WEEK 2Apr.
*** Note that at this stage we are only scheduled to supervise until this Friday (see previous post: Important Dates)

*** ANOTHER OPTION: for you is to outsource your lasercutting or 3D printing job elsewhere if you're unable to make use of our availability during the times set out to ensure you're able to submit your models by 2 April.

Bear in mind there could be backlog as 3D printing may take a while, so the earlier the better.  Good luck!

This Weeks Exercise

In this tutorial you will be working on creating a surface with repetitive elements that will respond to one or more attractor points. You will apply a grid to your surface and fit a variable parametric element to the surface that will change depending on each elements distance from the attractor point.
