Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

grasshopper inverted kinetics

hey,

I am building a stradbeest by theo jansen using rhino and grasshopper. I got to the point where I can move the wheel but I need to connect all the components to make them move with the wheel.

I assume that I will need some sort of plug in. Could someone please give me some tips on how to progress with it?

Thank you

Everything in the stradbeest can be manipulated by a single Slider connected to an Evaluate Curve component of the 'Wheel'.

It is then based completely on Curve curve intersections of Circles. 

If you are getting stuck then you can have a look at the Samples and Examples section where I posted this http://www.grasshopper3d.com/forum/topics/jansen-mechanism

Thanks that's very helpful. I just over complicated it for myself

Hey I am trying to build a whole strandbeest that is moving with the wing by having a wind mill now. Have you done anything similar to that?
