I have been using Enscape with Revit for some time to create both static, 2D renderings as well as panoramic views and walkthroughs. If you don't know, Enscape is a great "plug and play" tool in the industry currently- it allows users to very quickly and easily visualize their models with correct lighting/materials at a … Continue reading Interior Walkthrough – Hospital Waiting Area

Family Creation using Dynamo – Part 2
After using Dynamo to bring in excel data to create family types for each of the equipment listed, it was time to figure out how to organize how and where the instances of each type would be created in the Revit project space. The user offered the option to bring in all the equipment at … Continue reading Family Creation using Dynamo – Part 2
Family Creation using Dynamo – Part 1
I thought I'd share some projects I've completed in Dynamo, Revit's visual programming language. Dynamo is a tool that allows user to create more efficient processes for whatever Revit task they are trying to conduct. I have found it to be immensely useful- I am a sucker for making any task automated! I have not … Continue reading Family Creation using Dynamo – Part 1
Parametric Brick Façade in Grasshopper
After my post regarding Delauney triangulation, I realized I had a few grasshopper scripts I had previously worked on this last year that I could also share. One project specifically stood out because I was able to play around with a parametric brick façade design. Always fun! I was tasked with creating a specific design … Continue reading Parametric Brick Façade in Grasshopper
Delaunay Triangulation on a Façade
Hello all, Today we are going to discuss Grasshopper for Rhino. A tool I love, but don't get a chance to discuss or even use enough. It can be a powerful tool for design, but sometimes difficult to implement, due to its learning curve. Additionally, figuring out how to efficiently import a design from GH/Rhino … Continue reading Delaunay Triangulation on a Façade
Udacity VR Developer Course: Puzzler Project
INTRODUCTION: I am currently enrolled in Udacity's VR developer course. My first project, named Puzzler VR, was about learning how to create a VR game using Unity for Android devices. I have only utilized the Oculus Rift and Vive headset + Unreal Engine to create VR experiences, so this was new to me and I … Continue reading Udacity VR Developer Course: Puzzler Project
Learning Unreal Blueprints for VR II
The second project for Udacity's Unreal program was called “Hide in Seek”. Building upon the foundations taught in "Kitchen CleanUp", the game required more complex blueprint coding. The premise was to initiate the game, hide an object around the apartment, and have the user utilize locomotion to move from point A to point B … Continue reading Learning Unreal Blueprints for VR II
Learning Unreal Blueprints for VR
I enrolled in Udacity's Learn Unreal VR Program to gain a better understanding of Unreal Engine and to learn blueprint coding. I have used my VR headset for gaming and 3D modeling purposes, but never to develop any sort of interface or user interaction. As these are growing interests of mine, this course was a perfect … Continue reading Learning Unreal Blueprints for VR
More VR Stuff, this Time with the Rift
I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful brother just as interested (if not more so) in emerging tech, specifically with virtual reality. He already owns a Vive, but decided to order an Oculus Rift a few months back. Due to some fluke, Oculus sent him two Rift Touches by accident, one of which he … Continue reading More VR Stuff, this Time with the Rift
Electroplating 3D Prints
I've always been interested in 3D printing in different materials or even possibly coating prints with paint or metal. During my time at UVA's architecture school, I printed in nylon, wood filament, and many other crazy materials. I've also tested smoothing ABS with acetone vapor (works wonderfully). However, I really wanted to try something new, … Continue reading Electroplating 3D Prints
