Extruded Hex Pic
Extruded Hex Pic

This Grasshopper definition is a continuation of some image tessellation experiments I have been doing in Processing extruded to 3 dimensions. The definition abstracts an image into hexagonal clusters made composed of 3 quadrilateral whose common point is then extruded to a height relative to the image brightness at that point. A mouthful, I know, […]

Trianglephant
Trianglephant

This triangular tessellation is an abstraction of an image and is generated through a script I wrote using the Processing programming language. I wrote the script to interpret an input image and give a resultant triangular tessellation with larger triangles representing brighter areas of the image and vice versa. After initial investigations/experiments I am very […]

TIMEless
TIMEless

  This sculpture was a piece commissioned by the Superfront Gallery in Los Angeles for their exhibition, “TIMEless,” an exhibition exploring the 4d possibilities of space. I worked with Michael Fox of FoxLin to develop a sculpture based on a short story which Michael wrote titled “Nano City” (read it here). The story is of […]

ENV Downtown
ENV Downtown

ENV Downtown was my Senior Degree Project at Cal Poly Pomona. The proposal is for a new facility for the College of Environmental Design of Cal Poly Pomona in downtown Pomona. As a concept, the idea of a College of Environmental Design is a unique one. The model at Cal Poly Pomona is unique in […]

Facade-O-Matic!
Facade-O-Matic!

Catchy name, yeah? This is an idea I’ve kind of had kicking around in my head for a while. It is based on the Random Tessellation script I wrote for Processing a while back. This Grasshopper does much the same thing but in three dimensions instead of two. A unit module is created by the […]

Recursion RhinoScript
Recursion RhinoScript

This is a simple recursion script with pretty nice results. The idea comes from Marc Fornes’ experiments with the same technique. This script creates a recursive equilateral triangle sequence. As an input the script asks for an edge length, incident angle, and the number of iterations.   Download the Script   Recursion by Luis Gil […]

Weaving in Grasshopper
Weaving in Grasshopper

This is an update to the weaving Rhinoscript I posted a while back. I decided to play with it and try it out in Grasshopper a while back when I was learning Grasshopper. This is the result and it works a lot better and smoother than the RhinoScript version ever did. Feel free to download […]

Random Tessellation
Random Tessellation

A script developed for the irregular tessellation of a randomly generated “tile”.

Parametric Coffee Table Design
Parametric Coffee Table Design

I’ve had the idea for this coffe table for a while. I’ve finally gotten around to making it.

Picture Dots Sketch
Picture Dots Sketch

This script takes a picture and rebuilds it using a series of dots and lines.

KeyStroke Visualizer
KeyStroke Visualizer

A script that visualizes key strokes by connecting typed letters randomly colored curves.
