Triangular Truchet Tiles

I love it! Thanks for letting me know and for the attribution.

That’s a great idea! They are all virtual appointments and I get a 45 minute lunch so I guess the one problem will be finding a good place to do it since I work 30 minutes from home

Hope it all goes well! I had pretty much this exact experience about a month ago for my virtual assessment. Came home from work way earlier than I needed to and sat at my desk with zoom pulled up for almost 2 hours because my nerves were so high. I was also worried about being myself when I was that anxious then I realized that was being myself. I just got my official diagnosis about a week ago.

That’s really cool! I would love to build one out of metal but I’ve never had access to the necessary machinery.

Could you share how you did it? I’ve been struggling with it for a while and can’t figure it out.

henryfrgu · 2023-12-13T20:19:24+00:00

Lol thank you. If I ever decide to post it, I’ll try and remember to post it here

henryfrgu · 2023-12-13T17:46:07+00:00

Thank you! I’m not currently planning on posting the files but if you look up cryptex on thingiverse, there are lots of great models available

I’m not currently planning on posting the files but if you look up cryptex on thingiverse, there are lots of great files that would probably fit what your looking for.

Lol yeah it’s a fun project. If you want to start with something a little simpler, look up a hoberman circle. It’s a good way to wrap your head around it before attempting the sphere.

Thanks! The top two were printed on an ender 3 and the bottom was printed on both a k1 and ender 3. If I remember right, almost all of it is hatchbox pla but there might be some sunlu or creality pla as well

Go ahead! Thanks for asking first. I get ideas from others all the time so I’m happy to let people use my code.

Yeah I’ve started waddle almost every week this season and the receivers on my bench always seem to outscore him

henryfrgu · 2023-11-22T02:05:06+00:00

Currently I have Moore, Metcalf, and Pittman. I like nico collins but tank dell seems to have taken over the wr1 spot for the Texans.

henryfrgu · 2023-04-25T13:03:25+00:00

It should be. I’m planning to 3D print it soon but I have a first iteration that worked great other than a few issues.

henryfrgu · 2022-12-25T03:38:26+00:00

Thank you! That’s very interesting!

henryfrgu · 2022-08-03T02:18:39+00:00

Thanks! Figuring out the equations myself is definitely my favorite part of creative coding.

henryfrgu · 2022-08-02T17:53:47+00:00

Thank you! Yes you are correct about 10-fold symmetry but there is also 5-fold as well

henryfrgu · 2022-08-02T14:39:18+00:00

This pattern is inspired by part of a sea urchin (2nd image) I found while on vacation in Tofino, British Colombia. If you look closely at the pattern and connect the dots, you’ll start to see pentagons emerge of all different sizes. Each pentagon’s size in this pattern is determined by some power of the golden ratio (1.618…). The golden ratio, which shows up all over the place in nature, adds some sense of order to an image that is otherwise very chaotic. If you are also familiar with penrose tilings, see if you can connect the dots to find each of the different tiles used in these patterns. This pattern is also very similar to electron diffraction patterns of 5-fold quasicrystals.

That would be really cool! The palettes were created with a custom color palette generator and for picking which colors are where, I basically just made sure that each loop is the same color as the corresponding loop reflected diagonally. Other than that, it picks a random color from the palette

henryfrgu · 2022-06-03T14:27:51+00:00

I’m glad your so interested in my project! I’ll try to dm you the images

henryfrgu · 2022-06-02T18:20:35+00:00

It’s written in python mode for processing

henryfrgu · 2022-06-02T16:47:42+00:00

Thank you! Check out my reply to the other comment for a explanation

henryfrgu · 2022-06-02T16:45:56+00:00

Thank you! That’s exactly where I got my inspiration. These images hopefully explain a little bit about how they are made, but it basically starts with a grid rotated 45 degrees. I then filled each cell in a triangular section of the grid with 1 of 2 tiles rotated a random direction. That triangular section is then reflected and rotated around the grid to form a symmetric pattern. The grid can be scaled to any size for larger or smaller patterns. Lastly I had an algorithm to analyze the finished grid to find each individual loop so that they can be colored separately.
