Progress Report (3/28 - 4/3)

This week: I was tasked with the bumps of shapes caused by some parameters. I met with Jed and he explained a possible solution to the problem. He ended up implementing the solution himself. I find this solution does look nicer, but it still has some strange areas where the shape looks odd. Same as last week the shapes look odd beyond 90 degrees with a width change, but this is due to the design. At first I didn't like the look of the new shapes based off the new control point formula but they grew on me. I see more of a graffiti look in them. I wanted to modify the control point formula further but could not come up with anything. The bumps are indeed gone.

 The Old: The bump is visible at the top.   
The New: The control points are shifted.



Next week: See what the others think, likely further edit the control point further. I need to discuss the 90++ angles with the others as well. I also have a basic idea for logarithmic spirals but I am not certain if those will be involved yet. I do however believe they will be much more complex than the basic idea will work for.
