Wallacei goal tuning

Wallacei goal tuning

- [Instructor] Welcome. I had my exercise file open already. This is the fourth in a series of videos focused on the Wallacei plugin, for Grasshopper 3D. Wallacei is an evolutionary solver and we've already set up our model, so we have this face as an input and the boundary around the face where this object is touching it. And what we're trying to do is optimize the form of this red surface, It will be a respirator and we're trying to maximize the area of the respirator cartridge, which is this rectangle. But while at the same time, maximizing the comfort of wearing this form on the face. So you can see right now, we've already set up an optimization to maximize this area, but it's ignoring the height of the respirator and the rotation of the respirator and if we extend the respirator far out, it could collide with objects around the person, right? This isn't very comfortable and if we extend it in, it's colliding with the…
