Parametric Art

Generative and decorative modelling with OCCT in Bitbybit, where the goal is a form worth looking at rather than a part to manufacture. Parametric art is a good way to build intuition, because the feedback is immediate and the constraints are loose: you can push a construction until it breaks and learn where the kernel's limits actually are. These worked examples build flowing organic forms from mathematical curves, showing how trigonometry, point generation, lofting and boolean operations combine into something that would be tedious to model by hand.
