How annoying! Wasted so much time. I came up with the shape that I want to manipulate, but I can’t manage to wrap my structural roof around the form. The whole design relies on this element. I have been trying to solve this for hours now. I’ll still keep going, but I am losing hope. Just doesn’t want to work with me.
I am still currently looking at ways to approach the site itself. I have decided to work with the entire export park precinct as discussed in my pitch report. Its a massive area. However, I don’t want to make the same mistake as I did last year, where I concentrated on elements that were not that important. I must constantly remind myself that I am doing FABRICATION, and my task and focus need to tie back in with that theme.
Anyway, this was my starting point. Its a quick sketch of what I am trying to aim for. Obviously it’ll be changed once i concentrate on specifics.
I used the same method I’ve been using on other models. To create the vortex I am manipulating circles at different points throughout curve. Sort of looks like a stomach at this point.
Here is where I am stuck. Bloody thing won’t wrap the shape. Tried everything I can think of. Used every rotating key possible. The reason its not working is because I haven’t figured out how to rotate around the different sized circles whilst maintaining the central point of these circles, as well as not rotating in every other direction – like it has been. Damn It!
Close, but no cigar. Who am i kidding, its not even close. Can only manage to rotate it along its own end point curve axis.
