From so simple a beginning endless forms…
April 27, 2012 in Uncategorized by Sivam
” There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.” – Charles Darwin 1859
Shige not only generates wonderful digital creatures. He documents and shares his learning. He takes a simple block and modifies in Blender (open source 3D software) using python scripting. From simple beginnings ….
He demonstrates clearly the power of scripting for generating variations.

How to build Genetic Models
April 12, 2012 in Compuational Design by Sivam
An introduction to genetic modelling. Instead of jumping into complex 3D shapes, genetic modelling is explained in 2D. Once the core principles are understood, they can be applied to more complex designs.

Introducing Learning Pages
This is our attempt to create interactive online tools that will enrich your learning experience. It will allow you to learn by interacting with design models. We hope that this will be a good way of understanding key concepts.
These are interactive demos developed in processing.
Have a look at our first one >
