after a long session of inactivity (due to our gh3d workstation frying), we’ve been starting to patch together the urban future – gh3d particle system development.  we’ve also been teaching scripting, matsys and prefabrication techniques within our digital masters studio at usyd.  (more…)

as discussed before on the lace bloom veil house in surry hills, we had implemented a circle packing script originally developed by steven janssen.  (more…)

here’s a simple surface weave paneling script that takes any surface, generates a series of alternating u array of points and creates a set of polyLines, ready to loft flat weaved sections across the surface.  There’s a generic amplitude that varies the fold amount in which the script be altered for distance or pattern logic for a differentiation of folding amplitude (if you’re keen to get your hands dirty in the VB code).

ok,  so here’s the first in a number of particle defintions that we are writing in VB.  we’re aiming towards a full particleEngine.gha that users can drag drop various: particle emitters; space modifiers and script characteristic components from within the grasshopper tab environment without having to get their hands dirty with code.

we’ve been researching methods of unfolding surface geometry within grasshopper and have developed a number of techniques to execute the flattening of doubly curved surfaces.

another rhinoScript to grasshopper VB translation that takes a mesh object and recursively subdivides into child mesh faces with rotation, generation and mutation (optional).  gets pretty interesting when selecting a number of mesh faces with the original before varying the rotational and mutation values.

we’re developing the script further to constrain the geometry to set volumes. (more…)

no better period other than xmas holidays to take some time out and explore grasshopper scripting – we’ve been revisiting some of our old rhinoscript files and have worked out that it’s way more fun to explore parameter space in real-time… (more…)

here’s a pretty simple grasshopper definition that I developed for our grasshopper workshop in dubai last year. (more…)

we’ve been testing milling patterns in grasshopper over the last few days and have uploaded an simplified VB version of our arc pattern.  the definition gets interesting when paths cross, allowing for nested pockets of grooves.
