Test



Currently Rhinoing, about to go to bed but here's an older image when I started the general shape of the beams. Currently trying to come up with a shape a shape for a space frame that will support the 16m span that will 'fly' above the beam track.

Water condition, you can see the flanges open up to release the dock as its deployed through the track. The beam would be bolted to a foundation under the waters surface.

Other end, on land. Flange turns into a pin connection.

Just a taste but I'm off to bed. 8am BSC class tomorrow T.T

  1. In retrospect I think this track needs to be more robust. Looks unstable in its relationship to the steel pontoons.

  2. Due to the arrangement and kinematics of your project I suspect you will have to use appropriate imagery to showcase the incremental steps to make the project work and present the material in the most favorable light possible. These thumbnail tests are not the views you would want to base your final renderings off of. There are a few instances where you may have to consider exploded axonometrics or at the very least adjust translucency to make the project detailing a bit clearer to the audience.

    1. I agree, as an example, I plan to have an image showing the pavilion pre-launch and post launch at the same angle, to showcase the kinematic ability and how the form changes. I'll also show an off-season shot to show the 'pavilion' aspect when it comes to skating or a skiing checkpoint. Those i guess are essentially the three main images I want to shoot for, maybe having intermittent shots of the deployment process. Thanks for the tip!
