Matrix of Surface
The manipulation of a surface via moving a point within the Cartesian grid allows for a plethora of results each seemingly stranger than the last. Each row of distortions responds to a particular direction of distortion; some vertical, horizontal or diagonal. The original surface is in the top left of each matrix, and the orange highlights a final distortion within chosen parameters.

| Plan Distortions |
The view of the manipulations in plan allows one to see when points were being altered horizontally. The first, third and fifth row were prime examples of horizontal manipulation.

| Elevation Distortions |
The view of the manipulations in elevation reveals a similar yet vertical manipulation. The most extreme example is in the third row, where the object leaves the parameters of the overall grid. The grid is also tested by the fourth iteration, where the line between objects is almost breached.

The gradation change is helpful in understanding the warped object. Was it purposeful that the emergence of a color (orange) corresponds to the manipulation of the surface?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah I layered a rendering behind the line-work in order to highlight the emergent shadows and complexity of the warped form.
DeleteYeah, the color in all these helps a lot to expose the changes in the form. I would've liked an explanation on how you were carrying out your transformations though, was it some kind of variation of a rule?
