Permutations

A C# script which iterates over all the possible permutations of all sliders in a document. It saves out the viewport image associated with each setup.

Really need your help

Comment by Parametric House on December 2, 2013 at 4:38am: That is great! Thank you David :)Waiting to see it in the next grasshopper version!I just made an userobject which uses the number slider animate feature and randomly changse all the number sliders! It's something similar to Genoform but does not need any plugin!

Comment by Dieter Toews on November 27, 2013 at 2:52pm: This seems like it would be great for testing a script to see if it functions well across its entire input range. Visual scripting testing!!

So additional things to increase awesomeness (IMHO):

Time out, and crash recovery, logging - so that if a certain combination of parameters nukes everything this will be caught and skipped when relaunched so testing can continue where it left off.

ability to select certain sliders - like you did for Galapagos.

Comment by David Rutten on November 27, 2013 at 6:54am: would it be also possible to automaticly save also the .gh files for each step with the same name as the bitmap?

Yes it would. How problem does this solve?

Comment by phillip on November 26, 2013 at 6:20am: (Sorry, pls click to animate.)

Comment by phillip on November 26, 2013 at 6:19am: Considering this, what do you think about a pointcloud- or voxelmatrix display?

Still it would be a huge amount of data, but maybe reduced to a boolean pattern.

If there is a smart way to store and access this, you could create a rough, -non-informed- geometry which is then only shaded by a viewer later on.

So you could reduce the data of the images, be still 3d and interactive but do not rely on RhinoCommon. Does this make any sense?

Comment by Christian Schmidts on November 25, 2013 at 12:23pm: very useful indeed. would it be also possible to automaticly save also the .gh files for each step with the same name as the bitmap?

Comment by David Rutten on November 25, 2013 at 11:54am: Phillip, yup. The number of images goes up exponentially with the number of sliders.

Comment by phillip on November 25, 2013 at 3:35am: Very interesting. Could this also be a method to create the discussed Gh viewer?

I guess transferring something like this into a useful 3d-viewing matrix will produce incredible big files though, right?
