With the new metaball script in hand we then began to work on a way to create something physical from this. By making a negative of these metaballs we were able to create a real, tangible representation of how these balls might form. This was done by creating a block to cut the form of the metaballs out of. Think of this like a series of balloons cast into a block of concrete, what we had created was what would be left once the balloons were popped and removed. Thinking about this materialistically I thought of an idea of using an array of CNC cut timber fins, which would make a physical representation of these metaball spaces.

At this stage I feel this system has progressed as far as it can, and is almost ready for fabrication if we decide to progress further with this concept. I will move onto starting work on a different system tomorrow (Thursday Week 1).
