third day meant time to make some proceedural art. i took inspiration from a suggestion from our in-class brainstorming session and decided to make some generative crystals.
it's always fun making proceedurally-generated art! for this project i used grasshopper for Rhino and some of the thought processes we learned in MFADT Bootcamp.
i wrote a grasshopper definition that takes exactly ONE input seed number and randomizes a bunch of values off of it. grasshopper has a random number generator that conveniently takes a 'seed' input, so that is how the process is started. randomized parameters include polygon sides, height, width, and many factors determining the baby crystals forming on the sides of the main one.
i wound up with a nifty little series of 5 crystals, all scaled the same but ending up with many different shapes and sizes. it's a fun project!
