Patterning and Facade Studies Using Adobe’s Illustrator
Tuesday, October 14, 2008 1:17
A tutorial video demonstrationg the speed and ease of patterning using Adobe Illustrator’s BLEND tool. This is meant to be part 1 of a multi-part tutorial. In part 2 we will import these into Rhino.

FYI, the link to the part 2 isn’t working…
so i’ll ask here : any tips on applying a pattern to a cylinder?

I”m not exactly sure why part 2 isn’t working i haven’t been able to figure it out. You should still be able to watch the video from the main page. I’ll try and get the link working again in the meantime.
Not sure if this will work…but you may want to try the FlowAlongSrf command to make you flat patterns “wrap” the cylinder. Give that a shot and let me know if that works out for you.

will do. cheers for the tip.

okay, so i’ve been working w/ this on a cylinder and while the FAS works, when the curve is extruded, it only goes in a one- or two-way direction. is there any such thing as a “radial extrude” for a curve? i did the google thing w/ no luck. thanks!

No such thing as radial extrude. However, one possibility is to create another cylinder that is bigger than the one you have and use it as a “bounding” cylinder. What you could do is then project all of your curves onto that cylinder and then do a loft between the two sets of curves. This should work but could be really tedious. If you want you can email me your file or an image of your file for me to take a closer look at the problem.

Please, please, please fix the problem with the part 2 link. It doesn’t work from the main page either.

Ok part 2 should be fixed now. I apologize for not correcting this problem sooner. Let me know if it works ok or if it is still messed up.

for bald skull: not a fancy solution but it seems you just want a variation of sweeping a rail with different cross section curves, which i presume all radiate from a particular point. SO
- pick yr radial point - draw as small a set of lines as is necessary from your radial point through your cylindrical shape, trim and sweep. Perhaps an iteration of zach’s idea, a scaling of the 3d shape, could give you two rails for sweeping/lofting. Aint grasshopper, but works is works.
