Digital Textile
May 4, 2008For me sometimes it is more difficult speak or write about my work that write the code in the editor. This images represent my eagerness that I had to translate this textile pattern, in to the code. so this is it.
Thi first step was to find the correct data store to find the points. then I put all this points inside of an array and then create the curve. and for the other curves I did the same, searching the even and odd of every point.
I know there are a lot kind of patterns in the textile insdustri, and also my Grandmother know how to create with the crochet technics differents patterns, some of them with very complex estructures. If we thought that an algortihm is and a mathematic or aritmetic rule that is repeated, (Cecil Balmond, Informal, page 112), we will see that my grandmother and all the people who elaborate knitted fabric are actually programming an Algortihm.







this is really quite brilliant. i’ve been looking at algorithms for less than a year now and have begun working with 3-d programs at my college. I would really love to know what porgrams you use and if you have any recomendations on what kind of things i should research or practice because i want to work with algorithms but need a clear place to begin.
thanks,

Hello Rebeca,
these works are scheduled in RhinoVisualBasic, this language it’s pretty easy to use and ideal to start. Also there are a lot of source and tutorials in the web.
