New path to the Manifold

This past week we reworked the model based on some of the sectional and connection properties brought up from the previous week. We became fascinated with the sectional attributes of the way voids were formed by our initial petal study and began to speculate how that could be enriched through a process of de/lamination.

Coupling this idea with a desire to create a more easily formed surface - and one that could be tiled in such a way to create an object - we produced a model that looked like an evil eye from the side (particularly with some of the lighting effects we began to conjure through a few quickly performed photoshop dodges). It's getting there and this week brought some further refinement in the shape and some more investigation into how this thing is connected (sorely missing from last week's boards). So tomorrow we'll hit the surfcam, produce some g-codes and start the fabrication. Pictures to follow very soon!
