Tie Table

Tie table design came from idea of molecular bonding called
Covalent Binding. The stable balance of attractive and repulsive
forces between atoms. Where the substance is not present but
attraction and repulsion are the most impactful.

Parametric Mutation

“Mutations result from damage to DNA which is not repaired, errors in the process of replication, or from the insertion or deletion of segments of DNA by mobile genetic elements.”, Bertram, John S. (December 2000). “The molecular biology of cancer

Our specie evolved based on random sequences of errors applied to our very first life principal, survival.

In digital realm, one of the first priorities are preventing errors. However like nature, errors are inevitable. In this trial of parametric contouring implication, an error in the script caused few dynamic openings on the contours. The geometry mutated from a known result through an error into a new geometry.

Morphobot, Plasticity Competition

Morphobot focuses on correlation between the advancements in digital artificial intelligence and the notion of responsive behaviors of living organism in nature.

This project was team effort with Mohammad Askarzadeh.

Order Vs. Chaos

“New order always emerges from within a chaos. As the nature of each is based upon each other. Only and only our perception separates them. In nature order and chaos does not exist and merely evolution prevails as we humans do not understand it yet and we are not in a direction of understanding it either”, Urban.i.zone

My first meaningful python script in Maya. Exploring density of building blocks through strategic randomness.

Explode object by face, Python script, Maya

You might wonder why exploding objects into faces in Maya is such a pain! well, paste the following python script in the script editor to explode object into faces. Select your object first, then run the script.

Python Code:


import maya.cmds as mc
cLst = mc.ls(sl=True)
faces = mc.polyEvaluate(cLst,f=True)

def divLag(b):
 mc.polyChipOff (cLst[0]+".f[0:%d]"%faces,kft=False,dup=False)
 mc.polySeparate (cLst,rs=True,n="piece#")
 vLst = mc.ls(sl=True)
 return vLst

print divLag(faces)

Here is the Tutorial if you do not know where the script editor is and how to insert and run the code:
