particle network testing in gh3d

Thursday, January 21st, 2010


another particle test from within grasshopper – this script is more directly exploring the displayPipeline and grasshopper’s potential for colour and line weights from within VB components.  still some issues with clearing the displayConduit on update but a call can be made to either pause or capture every frame before disposing…

we’re now looking to further develop auto-organizational systems + network structures (via particles and chains) and will start posting our grasshopper definitions for public exploration by sometime next week.

mesh bloom

rhino 5.0 / grasshopper 0.60055

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…)

pointSet VB script

006-dataTree
here’s a very simple VB script which threads  alternating pointSets.  the degree of rotation and scale are also affected by a sample point included in the rhino file.  we’re going to further develop the code to include zones of influence to alternate the thread pattern.

tangency network

002-tangency
a simple parametric rhino file + grasshopper definition inspired by the highway cloverleaf.

the definition references an infinite amount of entry curve directions, matching them up to exit curves with controlled tangencies to create blended networks.
