REPLICATION OF PROCESS

EXTRACTING NEGATIVE DECAYED FORM (SERIES C)

METHODOLOGY:

GRASSHOPPER:

VORONOI, SOLID DIFFERENCE, CATMULL-CLARK SUBDIVISION

VARIABLE:

QUANTITY OF SCATTERED POINTS CREATE A RECTANGULAR FORM SIMILAR TO THE STYROFOAM MOLD FROM PROJECT 1

PROCESS:

POINTS ARE SCATTERED INTO THE VOLUME AT SPECIFIED QUANTITIES REPRESENTING ACETONE DROPS

VORONOI FORMS ARE FORMED FROM SCATTER POINTS INTO THE VOLUME REPRESENTING THE PLASTER

VORONOI FORMS ARE JOINED THEN SUBTRACTED FROM THE VOLUME TO EXTRACT THE NEGATIVE FORM

TRANSFORMED INTO A MESH TO CREATE A MORE ORGANIC SHAPE TO REPLICATE THE BONE MATRIX

THE LIMITATION OF HAVING STYROFOAM PIECES STUCK IN THE CURED PLASTER FORM IS OVERCOMED. BRINGING THE PROCESS IN THE DIGITAL REALM ALLOWED FOR THE EXTRACTION OF AN ORGANIC FORM WHICH SUCCESSFULLY REPLICATES THE BONE MATRIX INSTEAD OF HAVING A SOLID FORM. DECREASING POINTS CREATED LARGER VORONOI FORMS THEREFORE RESULTING IN LARGER HOLLOW SPACES IN THE EXTRACTED FORM, WHICH REPRESENTS SEVERITY OF OSTEOPOROSIS.

HOWEVER, THE DECAYED TEXTURE OF THE NEGATIVE FORM IS NOT REPLICATED.
