About

The Twisted Spine project is hosted on the web and allows the user to interact with the model’s geometry through the use of sliders. The sliders control the count of the rings, the radius and the overall length. The code also allows the user to pan and rotate around the object by right clicking and holding or left clicking and holding, respectively.

Process

The geometry was originally created using Rhino Grasshopper. It was then linked into a computer code where multiple languages were used, such as HTML, CSS and Javascript. The code was modified to change the colors and behavior of the model. Rhino Compute was used to run the application.
