MAT 238 Assignment 1

Firstly, I complete the Rhino model and Grasshopper workflow under the help of instruction. Than I modified the parameters of the slider and finally made a design that I was most satisfied with. The smooth curves in the model remind me of the ocean and waves.

When I finished the model, I found out that there are many edges and notched in the curves that will make whole model not smooth enough. Therefore, I googled a lot about how to make curve smooth and tried several different methods like adding various components with smooth effect to the workflow. However, either of the methods worked. Therefore, I decided to re-examine my work and added a parameter value to offset curve component, and finally got the desired result unexpectedly.

After exporting the STL files, I accidentally clicked on the render button and the model started to reshape the pieces and becomes more sculptural. I think it's a unexpected discovery.
