Here are a few images of the test model that Joe and I created for our tree project.  It is the first test, and is very rough, Printed on thick paper, cut by hand and used a whole lot of magic tape!

I have just finished the dwg file for the laser cutter tomorrow, so there will be some more pictures of a much more refined version of this form in very pretty transparent plastic.

Jo and I have completed phase 1 of the tree project for Research Studio 1. You can view the low resolution version of the presentation here.

Today marked a great achievement, Joe and I completed measuring the physical aspects of the tree. We used a number of systems including; locating the junctions of branches in the x,y,z planes, measuring the length of branches, counting typical new growth and calculating the approximate number of leaves and new shoots, photography, climbing and finally texture collection.
I’m sure I missed listing at least one of our methods, but all will be revealed on Friday next week. In the meantime here are a few images of us in action on site!
