设计背景
“Helix Fairyland” explores the refinement of natural biological structures through parametric modelling to create an immersive digital world. It blends elements from nature, such as spiral forms, into a digital environment designed to evoke a sense of fantasy and adventure.
Helix Fairyland”通过参数化建模对自然生物结构进行精炼，旨在创造一个沉浸式的数字世界。它将自然界中的螺旋形态等元素融入数字环境，唤起一种幻想和冒险的感觉。
The design focuses on creating a visual and interactive experience using parametric structures like spirals, thorns, and crystals. The final output includes 3D renderings, animations, and a game-like environment that invites users into a fantastical world filled with unique architectural forms.
设计重点是通过螺旋、荆棘和水晶等参数化结构创造视觉和互动体验。最终输出包括3D渲染、动画以及类似游戏的环境，将用户引入一个充满独特建筑形式的奇幻世界。
My Contribution我的贡献
I was in charge of visual concept extraction, most of the parametric modelling, visual booklet design, and Unity material rendering. My partner focused on storyline development, video creation, sound design, and a small portion of parametric modelling.
我负责视觉概念提取、大部分参数化建模、视觉册子设计和Unity材质渲染。我同伴专注于故事情节、视频创作、音效设计以及少量参数化建模。

Contribution Process
构建过程
In this project, the integration of Rhino and Grasshopper plays a crucial role in the technical execution of complex parametric designs. Grasshopper, as a visual programming extension of Rhino, enables the manipulation of parametric curves and forms, facilitating the automated generation of organic and repetitive structures such as spirals and waves. This combination allows designers to iterate rapidly, adjust shapes dynamically, and meet specific design objectives with precision. Rhino, as the primary 3D modelling platform, supports detailed surface modelling and parametric design, ensuring control from initial concept to final prototype. The use of Rhino and Grasshopper together creates an efficient and flexible workflow for creating highly intricate models, from wearable garments to immersive digital landscapes.
在该项目中，犀牛和Grasshopper的结合在复杂参数化设计的技术实现中起到了关键作用。作为犀牛的可视化编程扩展，Grasshopper允许操作参数化曲线和形式，促进如螺旋和波浪等有机且重复结构的自动生成。这种组合使设计师能够快速迭代，动态调整形状，并精准地实现特定设计目标。犀牛作为主要的3D建模平台，支持细致的表面建模和参数化设计，确保从概念到最终原型的全程控制。犀牛和Grasshopper的结合为创建复杂模型提供了高效且灵活的工作流程，涵盖了从可穿戴服饰到沉浸式数字景观的设计。
Renderings
渲染图
The renderings leverage Unity’s rendering and lighting effects, combined with spatial audio, to create an immersive experience. The realistic lighting and dynamic shadows bring depth and atmosphere to the scene, while spatial audio enhances the sense of presence. The first-person perspective offers a more engaging and lifelike interaction, allowing viewers to experience the virtual environment as if they were truly within it.
渲染结合了Unity的渲染和光影效果，以及空间音效，打造了沉浸式的体验。逼真的光效与动态阴影为场景增添了深度和氛围，而空间音效则增强了临场感。第一人称视角带来了更具沉浸感和逼真的互动体验，使观众如同身临其境地感受虚拟环境。

Khloris: A Prelude to Helix Fairyland
Khloris：Helix Fairyland的前奏
Prior to the Helix Fairyland project, the team worked on a wearable design called “Khloris.” This project explored the fusion of Rococo aesthetics with futuristic design elements, focusing on creating a sleek, parametric garment inspired by natural forms like waterlilies and spirals. Using advanced tools like Rhino and Grasshopper, the project achieved a balance between luxurious details and modern minimalism.
在Helix Fairyland项目之前，团队曾完成了一个名为“Khloris”的可穿戴设计项目。该项目探索了洛可可美学与未来主义设计元素的融合，专注于通过参数化手法打造灵感来源于自然形态（如睡莲和螺旋）的光滑服饰。通过使用犀牛和Grasshopper等先进工具，项目在奢华细节与现代简约之间达成了平衡。
