Chameleon
This project explored how to use Rhino and Grasshopper (BGM) to apply repeating textures across complex surfaces. We chose a chameleon form and experimented with mapping a diamond-like pattern across its body. The aim wasn’t realism or beauty, but to understand how digital tools can create abstract, artistic surfaces through algorithmic control and parametric design.
This was a technical exploration using Rhino + Grasshopper, focusing on surface manipulation and texture duplication. We selected a chameleon form for its organic complexity and applied a diamond texture grid across its body using BGM tools. The process helped us learn how to work with parametric design, mesh subdivision, and control of texture behavior over complex 3D geometry. The final result was more experimental than aesthetic—an abstract object that showcased digital patterning capabilities.
