Student Tutorial

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLp6wyjNznE
Random field tutorial can be really helpful for my theme as metafoil curtain has a lot of interrations in it.
I shall find out what and how to apply for my own theme and make it as a 3D

List Management

There are two lines one at the bottom and on top, two "divide length" components are set to each line. those are connected to a "line" component. we have an "item" component that connects bottom line to a "line" component. what "item" compenent does is that it identifies one particular panel when you divide the whole surface. 



In "item" component, if you right click on i(item) and edit expression to -1, however short or long we make this it will always go to that last item. if we edit it -2, it will go to the second last.


Important note: if you don't change wrap index to true boolean, it won't show.

The Three Theme

MetaFoil Curtain for Oslothe Opera House

 "Metafoil takes advantage of the captive gaze of the audience, introducing a foil, a false reflection, an illusion of depth, a novel typography that disrupts expectation and challenges perception," says Pae White.

Pae White is really famous for making the best stage curtain of any opera house in the world. This looks as if the curtain was made of metallic foil and an actual piece of aluminum foil was scanned to create the effect, however, surprisingly, Pae White made this curtain from woven cotton, wool and polyester.


Here is another similar looking of random pattern of crumpled foil. This was taken by one of my friends. The crumpled foil is maxi kinder surprise foil and random fractal was made by wrapping a round shape object and binding the top with a string this just seems amazingly cool.


Spiral systems

This is a picture of spiral galaxy. consisting stars around gravitationally bound system makes a perfect spiral system.

watertornado is a good example of spiral system


Captured moments (High speed photography)

I think this photo looks spectacular because you never study how a bubble pops with eyes but this picture captured the moment. The surface of the bubble vanishes from the spot where it gets popped there are dots, lines and a face.

Attractor

make series of x and y values and set it as cross reference.
make a sphere which will be an attractor.
drag a cone component and connect with the point that is connected to series x and y.
drag a distance component that computes Euclidean distance between two point coordinates and connect A input to series point output and connect B to shpere point output.

Cross reference

Learning the use of Shortest list, Longest list and Cross reference
and what Slide components does in different connection in Series.
