What would happen, if we added more stories ?
or introduced a twist before closing the ring ?

CHSCHSUCBUCB Collins - Séquin CollaborationCollins - Séquin Collaboration
Discuss ideas on the phone
Exchange sketches
Vary the topological parameters
But how do you know whether it is beautiful ? Need visual feedback.
Making models from paper strips is not good enough.

CHSCHSUCBUCB Brent Collins’ Prototyping ProcessBrent Collins’ Prototyping Process
Armature for the "Hyperbolic Heptagon"
Mockup for the "Saddle Trefoil"
Time-consuming ! (1-3 weeks)

CHSCHSUCBUCB Collins’ Fabrication ProcessCollins’ Fabrication Process
Building the final sculpture (2-3 months):
Take measurements from mock-up model,transfer parallel contours to 1” boards.
Roughly precut boards, leaving registration marksand contiguous pillars for gluing boards together.
Stack and glue together precut boards,remove auxiliary struts.
Fine-tune overall shape,sand and polish the surface.
A big investment of effort !

Need a broader paradigm !
Use the SLIDE modeling environment(developed at U.C. Berkeley by J. Smith);it provides a nice combination of procedural modeling and interactivity.

Developed as a modular rendering pipelinefor our introductory graphics course.
Primary Author: Jordan Smith
Based on OpenGL and Tcl/tk.
Good combination of interactive 3D graphicsand parameterizable procedural constructs.

CHSCHSUCBUCB Conclusions (1)Conclusions (1)
Interactive computer graphics is a novel (to artists) medium that can play an important role -- even for traditional artists.
Virtual Prototyping can save time and can tackle sculptures of a complexitythat manual techniques could not conquer.

CHSCHSUCBUCB Conclusions (2)Conclusions (2)
The computer is not only a great visualization and prototyping tool,
It also is a generator for new ideas and
an amplifier for an artist’s inspiration.

CHSCHSUCBUCB Conclusions (3)Conclusions (3)
What makes a CAD tool productive for this kind of work ?
Not just “virtual clay,”
partly procedural;
fewer parameters that need to be set.
Keep things aligned, joined;
guarantee symmetry, regularity,
watertight surfaces.
Interactivity is crucial !
