converting unidirectional diffused light Into spot lights grasshopper definition(1 panel)

the idea is to bend light using a series of prism glass panels to direct all unidirectional diffused light onto a single spot on the ground. The file is just for testing: please comments thx=D

diuleilomo.ghx

the definition can be extended to an array of panels each with different normal vector directions. The more panels, the stronger the focused…

Join command,

Hello all,

Im having a little trouble, Lets say I have 3 lists(a,b,c) of 10 curves. How do I join these guys without destroying their order? What Im hoping to have is curve 1 in list a, join to curve 1 in list b and c so as to end up with 10 joined curves. I would have thought this to be automatic, yet it isn't....Im iterating these through a list of z vectors and their order makes no sense to me.

Any help would be welcome, it seems like a simple…

Diffusion Limited Aggregation

My main Grasshopper development these days is Kangaroo, which is nearing a beta-release, but in the meantime here's another little bit of physics based messing around from a while back that I felt like sharing.

DLA is a simple algorithmic model of a type of fractal growth that produces dendritic forms which occur frequently in both living and non-living nature, introduced in 1981 by…

[WS2] RESPONSIVE SKINS - Grasshopper Advanced Design workshop with ecoLogicStudio

Added by ecoLogicstudio on March 4, 2010 at 3:17am — No Comments

is there a function for the math logic of "probability" like "C"??

for instance

if i have a bunch of pionts, say "4", i want the connection of them without getting connections within the same 2 points.

the answer should be (4X3) / (1X2).

but with the built-in Line function, grasshopper connects point 1 among the 4 to the rest 3 and then go on connecting point to the rest 3 and so on till the end.

therefor i will get 16 connections(althought there will be 4 invalid lines)

how do i get all the connections between the 4 points… Continue
