reprojection error (scanners fault) :-)

I'll even bet those slight deviations on the scan are zip-tie placement.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. Great to see the tool being used. Just a shame you're not there to see it :( Hope all's well in Lausanne!

Cheers Will. It was actually Henrik and Martin that did the scan, I just compared the two :) The elastica behaviour seems to be spot on and it is super useful to be able to use bending member segments with odd lengths. They're currently running at workshop up at CITA with the UDK students implementing this definition. here's a peak:

Really nice Anders! I didn't realise you'd gone to such lengths as to verify the model with a laser scan. As always, in awe of your graphical style ;)

nice one!

Great work. Thanks for the detailed reply.

Thanks Djordje, they represent an approximation of the local bending radius and orientation at each vertex. Here's a few images which might make it more clear (they blue points is a laser scan of physical model to verify to form finding model):

This is wonderful Anders !!
