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.

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.

we’ve just received a copy of generative gestaltung (generative design) from amazon.de and have been surprised at the range of programming material covered in the volume.  with the expansive collection of luscious images, (more…)

We’ve been testing a number of auto-organization techniques from within the grasshopper3d environment, including an early build of a physics engine.  As the agents are controlled by distance logic and vectors, the script can be applied in a 3 dimensional environment.

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…)
