Surface to Surface
I have been interested in creating a simple framework that had the capability of adapting to more complex surfaces. I want to manipulate this surface into complex forms and geometries by way of parametric scripting. In order to do so, I thought it would be most interesting to take a more complex surface and map it onto the simple surface. The best way to do this was by simply drawing a curve or line in Rhino and allow the magic to happen in Grasshopper. To make this more interesting, I wanted to see if this script could be applied to a number of different curves.
Currently, I am getting closer to putting together a final form for the parametric study. In order to diagram a process, I have taken a series of snap shots of how I attempted to achieve this parametric study.
I drew a series of curves stemming from a line to a more serpentine design.
In Grasshopper, I used the move component to move the original curve in Rhino. I utilized a slider on this component as well in order to manipulate this move component. This may be useful to me later.
Grasshopper then allowed me to loft a surface between the original curve and the new moved curve generated.
Using the subdivide component, I subdivided the surface that would create a framework to repeat some kind of other complex surface.
Utilizing the subdivided surfaces, I used the Surface Box component that would essentially create the constraining boxes by which my complex surface would fit within when I map it.
With this surface mapped, I wanted to start to see how this form can be manipulated in more than just a Z direction and how this script looks when applied to other curves. Below are a few of those moments where this script is placed on the other curves.

I created this surface that I would then define as the surface to be mapped to the simple surface above. The bounding boxes defined through the phase previous would contain this new complex surface.
