PhylloMachine is a set of scripts/UserObject for Grasshopper to model plants using some properties of phyllotaxis.

The basic idea is that a mesh with phyllotaxis proportions has a topology described by two Fibonacci numbers, and its topology (indices of vertices of faces, parastichies spirals, cycles and topological neighbors)…

I modified this nice script due to roly hudson (see here) for generating Penrose tilings to include a decoration of the tiling by triangles. The result is a non-periodic pattern on the plane by a system of corner-sharing triangles (i.e. there are two triangles at each vertex). This is sometimes called a 2-D combinatorial…

Hello everyone,

here you have a script to make animations with "V-Ray for Rhino" plugin, using materials in .vismat or .vrmat formats.

My thanks and appreciation to Pieter Segeren for helping me to polish the script and to…

Hello to everyone,

Does anyone know if it is possible with Grasshoper to change the grid size gradually. For example I would like to start with 0,1  m cells and end up with 1,0 m cells .

There's a new movement for sharing food freely by recycling from the supermarkests. Well I thought it could be nice to create a small space for meals, so people could eat together.

For that I used a catenary sketch whith kangaroo and a tesselation to create the pieces.…

Ladybug will give me a max height of wind speed on ten meter (about 33Ft). Therefore, I may not able to take wind speed for force as calculation to future optimization.

However, it will provide information on wind direction during a year for each month.…

One think which has always intereseted me is how the streets of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg are full of improvised gardens sel-made by the neighbours. So I decided to empower myself and start a design of a plant pot for my neighbourhood, but my way. So I took grasshopper and things like this came up:
