Spherical Extrusions

Hi,

Really quite new to Grasshopper and I recently wanted to create a similar effect to these images I have found online for rendering with a sub polygon displacement with Cinema 4d. This is done completely through rendering in the program, but I wanted to do this through grasshopper and I thought using an image sampler component might work. Generally looking for some direction on how to implement this effect.

Hi Rafaie,

You have to download WeaverBird and 4d Noise.

Make a mesh sphere and extrude points
according to their normals with a simplex/perlin value.

Check out the def

Hope it'll help you

PS: you can try to make the same thing with a Facet Dome.

Nenov,

Thank you so much, this is really helpful! I have heard about this effect of smoothing edges with weaverbird and have never tried it before. I will be sure to go through the definition and learn about its effects.
