Colour names RGB cube 2

A visualization of named colour density in RGB space. Colours processed and culled using Grasshopper VB scripting, iso-surface created using Metaball component and the Rhino MeshFromPoints command. This image was created as part of a blog post, but I ended up not using it (http://ieatbugsforbreakfast.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/colours-everywhere/). Image rendered with Brazil for Rhino.

You need to be a member of Grasshopper to add comments!

Comment by David Rutten on March 24, 2011 at 2:21pm: Vicente, ah, that. No indeed. I made a single material that could be assigned to all objects and it would automatically render them correctly where ever they are. It's also not limited to mesh density this way.

Comment by Vicente Soler on March 21, 2011 at 12:53pm: Ah, so you didn't use it. I was refering to this shader:

You created a material in Brazil using the gradient shader in WCS. The alternative i was thinking about is to bake the colors into the mesh vertices inside Grasshopper and then render them with that shader.

Comment by David Rutten on March 21, 2011 at 9:20am: Arthur, you kidding me?! It took me half an hour of manual mesh repair to get the metaballs tight and the rendering took 4 hours (yes, 4).

Comment by David Rutten on March 21, 2011 at 9:19am: Mårten, I saw it too. It goes away though if you change the camera angle :)

Comment by David Rutten on March 21, 2011 at 9:19am: Vicente, yes. I used three World Space gradients (black-red, black-green, black-blue) and superimposed them in a single material. It was actually quite tricky, but it turned out to be possible.
