Thank you so much for your kind suggestion.

Many web sites such as YouTube and Facebook are not available in China,which maybe incredible for you.Despite of this, I will frequently be here to try to learn more.

谢谢~（Chinese）haha~

Try access from another computer outside of you current local network. Also check to see if you can't access any other videos on Vimeo or YouTube... this would prove my hunch.

Comment by sun xuan on April 1, 2012 at 3:42am: I still can't open that page，but thank you all the same!

Comment by Brian James on March 28, 2012 at 10:19am: Video is playing fine here Sun. You can try another browser or the direct Vimeo link here... https://vimeo.com/24138876 You can download it from that page as well.

Comment by sun xuan on March 23, 2012 at 10:02pm: I can't see the videos.How can it be downloaded?

Comment by Brian James on November 21, 2011 at 7:17am: To wrap the weave onto a non-flat surface, I'd use FlowAlongSrf (http://vimeo.com/3111916) in Rhino after baking out the geometry. You could use GH to do it all but that would require a different definition probably starting with a referenced surface.

For making the weave look like satin or twill, you will need to bake the geometry and use a rendering engine in Rhino. Brazil, Vray or Maxwell would all do the job nicely.

Comment by Alina on November 20, 2011 at 5:49am: Dear Brian,

Thank you very much indeed. I am wondering if there is any chance to change the surface shape (in this case, changing a flat surface into a sphere for instance)?

And if there is any option to change this plain textile pattern into Satin or Twill or any other desired textile patterns?

Many thanks in advance.
