ecotect analysis grid 2 rhino This tutorial runs you through the process of exporting your rhino geometry into ecotect and then bring the analysis grid data back into rhino. The method shown is a work around – numeric data is imported into rhino as a heightfield surface, then Grasshopper is used to read the height, which is then used to control the dimension of other geometries. For this tutorial, you’ll need this Rhinoscript, Grasshopper definition, and Sample Data 1. Start with your geometry. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Third, we use these outlines to make the surface with "surface from planar curve" and transfer them into mesh by "Mesh from Surface/Polygon." After All, we send these meshes to the grasshopper and use the weaver bird to get the pattern. 先試著用長形的來操作 調整第一個D前面的Slider可以調整開口大小 Changing the slider of the first "D", we can control the size of the opening Render 再來試著在同一塊平面Voronoi上 將其分割並給訂不同開口大小 亦會產生有趣的紋理 Then we try to divide the Voronoi into separate parts to create interesting Pattern.

GRASSHOPPER TUTORIALS + EXERCISES | ex-Lab The exercises below test basic competence using Grasshopper. Attempt to complete the exercises and if you need extra help refer to the tutorial PDFs. This tutorial introduces students to the workflow of Grasshopper by creating a simple definition that takes a reference direction from input curves and re-orients them to face an attractor point. This tutorial extends upon tutorial 01 by creating a simple definition that analyses the curvature of a doubly curved surface and indicates how this could be further extended to manipulate material qualities to achieve complex double curvature from perforations in a flat sheet. Information regarding the further extension of this definition is provided at the end of the tutorial. This tutorial will panel a surface with a specified grid of polylines using triangular, rectangular, hexagonal and radial grids. Using a series of data manipulations, colour information from an image is used to inform a complex outcome.

Rhinoscripting Resources ecotect mesh data 2 rhino This tutorial runs you through the process of exporting your rhino geometry into ecotect and then bring the analysis data back into rhino. For this tutorial, you’ll need this Rhinoscript, sample data, and sample geometry. 1. Start with your nurbs surface. If it is a polysurface, explode them first, meshing them as polysurface will create triangulated mesh along the seams and you want to prevent that. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

WALLACE 2009 June Belousov–Zhabotinsky Oscillation The generative animatronics of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction is created by non-linear oscillations between two chemicals, usually a bromide and an acid. The arising concentric ring patterns are reminiscent of bacteria and fungus growth, no surprise then that the BZ reaction can be used as a model for biological development. As with all kinds of patterns of periodicity, the hallmark concentric gradients of BZ reaction seem to crop up in other domains too and at much different growth rates. Periodic variations in the precipitation of specific minerals during Banded Agate formation creates similar concentric arrangements. Where as the BZ reaction takes minutes to produce ornamentation, the formation of Banded Agates can take millions of years. Flickr provides a great hunting ground for some fine Banded Agates from across the globe. Banded Agate The Laker Agate has a distinctly bacteriopoetic arrangement of organisms growing upon tangerine facade.

karamba Karamba 1.0.5 is now available for download and includes the following new features and bug-fixes. Karamba 1.0.5 contains these new features: A simplified installation procedure. Iso- and stream-lines with user supplied values and vectors at mesh-vertices (unlimited mesh-size also in the FREE-version of Karamba). This intensive 4 day design/fabricate/build workshop explored digital form-finding techniques to produce a series of scaled architectural prototypes for freestanding pavilion structures. Candela Revisited The pavilion was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects London for the China International Architectural Biennal. Master of Architecture students of the University of Melbourne have completed a 12-week studio that involves using Rhino, Grasshopper and Karamba to produce grid-shell structures for a pavillion at the Northcote Aquatic Center. Students at the IAAC implemented karamba within their research in a seminar titled, Surface Action Structures, taught by Manja van de Worp.

A common problem is pulling information across from these types of programs, like EcoTect, into a designers environment like Rhino and Grasshopper or 3D Studio. The trick is to see the Visari animation as color data, the Reds, Greens and Blues. Step1: The image above is a single frame from Visari in Top view. Step2: Convert all the frames so that the colors are black and white. IMPORTANT! Step3: Open up the definition from the download (bottom of this page). Color Image Path: Point to the small color frames. Black and White Disp: Point to the small black and white frames. Extension: This just adds the file type extension to the files name, you dont need to change this. Timeline: Set this to the number of frames you have. Displacement: This will turn on 3D displacement, however it will be somewhat slow depending on your image size.

Grasshopper (Explicit History) Same Area Voronoi using Galapagos I have been quite fascinated by the recent development of Galapagos for Grasshopper. This is a simple example of its application set up to solve for a 10-point voronoi division within a user-defined boundary where all the parts are divided as equally as possible in terms of their areas. I ran this with an initial population of a hundred for 200 generations. Gradient Patterns Testing different patterns with grasshopper. Pagora Bench Playing with hopper and Maxwell 2 Two Surfaces Twisted Box It’s been a while I’ve played with Grasshopper. In order to use the definition, first define a box, and some geometries within the box as your base component. Two Surface Space Frame (Rhino Explicit History) Ah so, the new version of the Explicit History plug-in for Rhino is out. This is another way of creating space frames using U/V divisions from two surfaces. crtli_gh_space_frame.wrmcrtli_gh_space_frame.3dm Explicit history example files

How to build a Grasshopper component with Visual Studio in VB.Net | Architexted by Jonatan Schumacher: Jonatan[at]JSchumacher[dot]com This step-by-step tutorial showcases how to create a simple, but comprehensive Grasshopper component in VB.Net, using Visual Studio 2010 . It was created with the tutorials by David Rutten, which you can find in the help file for the Grasshopper SDK. David explains some of the actions in better detail, so I would suggest looking at his documentation simultaneously. We will start all the way in the beginning with the project setup: Open Visual Studio and create a “New Project”: From the ‘Installed Templates’ menu, select ‘Visual Basic’, and then ‘Class Library’. 1_NewVBClass Save the VB project by selecting “Save All” from the File Menu: SaveComponent Change the file type from the compiled class library from .dll to .gha: Of course, we could do this manually each time we compile the code, but why bother? In the ‘Compile’ menu of your project, click on ‘Build Events’ in the bottom right corner. GH_IO.dll Grasshopper.dll RhinoCommon.dll
