Draft Iterations

I made the point z at null(zero), and increased the integers at x,y making the particles/spheres. spread out through the x,y direction.
I made the point z at null(zero), and made the x,y value at 1 making the particles/spheres form a circular shape through the x,y values.
I made the point z at null(zero), and made the x,y value at 1 making the particles/spheres form a circular shape through the x,y values.
Playing around with lighting tools
X,Y,Z points all reduced to '1', including the number of spheres in each coordinates, and the value of 'r' of the sphere has been increased.
X,Y,Z points all reduced to '1', including the number of spheres in each coordinates, and the value of 'r' of the sphere has been increased.
The number of spheres has been increased in its xvalue.The number of spheres has been increased in both x and y values.
The radius of the spheres have been increased.
The number of spheres have been increased in all x,y,z coordinates
The number of spheres have been increased in all x,y,z coordinates
Normal model of spherical objects circulating to shape a tornado shape.

Extended Research

With the help of my tutor, Malady, I have played and modified with the outcomes of last weeks tutorial i have tried, and came up with my very own pattern using spheres attached to the diameters of circles that extend vertically.

Fractal pattern/Air Molecules images





Image of a fractal pattern, shaped almost like a hexagon, the main shape starting from the middle, and the image repeated in a smaller scale around the main shape.
Image of a fractal pattern, almost in an abstract shape, with the main image in the middle, and smaller scale of the image around and inside the shape in random places.
An abstract fractal pattern, which the spiral and circles are repeated in different angles and scales.
Air molecules in 2D view, shows the circular shape of a molecule, and a collection of these molecules could form a basis of a fractal pattern.
Air molecules in 3D view, almost in a shape of a tornado formed by numerous air particles.

Theme: Fractal patterns/ Air Molecules

Fractal patterns:
A geometric pattern that is repeated at ever smaller scales to produce irregular shapes and surfaces that cannot be represented by classical geometry. Fractals are used especially in computer modeling of irregular patterns and structures in nature. (http://www.answers.com/topic/fractal)

Air Molecules:
In terms of fractal patterns, air molecules could be used in different scales to produce a fractal pattern.

Experimental Modelling - Week01

The above image shows a theme of recursion, in which an object is visible wherever you zoom in. In this image, the purple triangular shape can be visible when you zoom in on the object, and it repeats the pattern.

The above image shows the geometric aspects of a fractal pattern, in which the geometric pattern is repeated but the object being repeated is reduced in size. The theme shown in this image fractal patterns, and an iterative design in a way, as it constantly repeats its pattern in a circular path.

The above image is of a DNA, which shows the geometrical aspects and the themes of weaving object. Weaving essentially meaning the crossing of two streams, in which this case, is the crossing of the two 'lines' which connect all the little 'lines' between it in a spiral shape.
