The Way of the Dinosaurs
I created this piece entirely in Processing with minimal post production. The algorithm processes a specified set of characters in a number of specified fonts to extract the perceived “brightness” of a character on a blank background. This information is then used to plug the best matching characters into a matrix of sample […]
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, […]
Curve Branching
A simple L-systems branching script for Rhino. Run the script, select a starting curve and the script will replicate that curve in a branching manner. Download Script Curve Branching by Luis Gil is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
Hexagonal Weaving in Grasshopper
This Grasshopper definition was inspired by the structure for the new Pompidou-Metz Center by Shigeru Ban. The structure is said to be inspired by hexagonal weaving pattern found in traditional Chinese hats. This is a very common weaving pattern also found in things such as chairs. For a large scale structure, however, it is impractical […]
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 […]
Convex Hull Import from Qhull to Rhino
A tool for importing convex hull information from QHull into Rhino.
