Grasshopper courses

Hi,

is the first time for me in this wonderful network;

did you organize real grasshopper courses?

Rabbit + Grasshopper: 3D L-systems, 3D Cellular Automata

We are posting a few experiments, created with the work-in-progress RABBIT 0.2. We plan to release it within a week or two…

RABBIT 0.2 has a lot of new features:

RABBIT 0.2: New Cellular Automata features:

* user defined initial configurations

* automatic/manual control of the CA evolution

* CA memory – stores all configurations/states of the CA calculated for different time steps(t=0,1,2,3…)

Adaptive Component Systems Tutorials and Work

Hey all - take a look at http://blogs.cornell.edu/adaptivesystems/ to see the work of several semesters of Prof. Dana Cupkova's Adaptive Component Systems course, which deals with the development of systems combining parametrically-driven metal prefabrication and new sustainable technologies. The blog features video tutorials, student projects, and downloads of example definitions. Of particular note is the Radiance-to-Grasshopper… Continue

Spatial Truss (WIP): Knot selection

Knot selection routine completed.

Now, we can select each Top Knot by its Index Number and all lines arriving at it, for fabrication purposes.

Also, this will be usefull when the time come to bake geometry of a very large spatial truss.

We'll be able to bake knots one by one, avoiding the burden of baking hundreds of knots at once...

Next:

1. Do the same for the Base Knots

2. Do the same for each bar

3. Diagonal…

Spatial Truss (WIP) next

Next steps:

1. Make each Apex height a function of the medium of Base Trusses.
2. Finish the Select/Bake mechanism for each knot: Each knot should be selectable together all lines arriving at it, for knot fabrication.

Spatial Truss (WIP)

As part of an ongoing research on parametrics, this definition is our first attempt to understand the solution to an old problem in spatial structures.

Here it goes: Tetra.Tesselation.07.ghx

What it does: from a set of curves (might be splines, straight lines or closed plines or splines) it generates a lofted surface, subdivides it into an U&V grid and constructs a spatial…

Math plug-in for Grasshopper

I developed a GH definition that works as Jess Maertterer's Math plug-in.
So it creates surfaces starting from their parametric equations.

I'm glad that yesterday I presented my work to Jess at Rome, at the end of his lecture, and he did appreciate it!
