Week 2

Extra images and research :



This glowing tube anemone, a relative of sea anemones was found 500m beneath the waves
in the Gulf of Mexico.

Most fluorescent marine creatures have been found in shallower water, for instance this
tube anemone, Cerianthus Membraneceus from the Mediterranean Sea.


Two colonies of cnidarians growing over each other glow in different colours. Zoanthus in orange/red
and Palythoa in green. Can be often found in the rubble of coral reefs.

Some plug-ins that will help me in my assignment, something to share as well :

WeaverBird is the plug-in for topological transformations in Rhino and Grasshopper. It now supports colors and texture coordinates. It helps inventing, smoothing, modifying, thickening and preparing meshes for rapid manufacturing technologies. 


Its a must have tool, especially modelling organic shapes. There is videos on demonstration in youtube as well.


Something interesting i found that i might try to combine it with my assignment.
