iterative rotate

I'm going to post a few images of the "iterative rotation" that I have been working on with my brick design. These studies started out by looking at the properties of brick laying: how much rotation can you get with a standard mortar joint, and how much can a single brick cantelever. I have been working on perfecting an iterative rotation script where I can specify the number of bricks in a chain, the minimum and maximum rotation, and let the script "agitate" the surface accordingly. Still not perfected yet, but here a few images to show where this project is at.
