Panelling Modules onto minimal mesh

From my past experience, i just know how grasshopper panel modules on surface rather than mesh.

But now i had to panel three-dimensional modules onto minimal mesh generated from geometry gym. The modules and the target mesh are shown in attached 3d file. Anyone can panel modules onto that minimal mesh??

i see the http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/lamp-nr-4-1?context=latest

can achieve what i want.

im pretty sure this image http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/lamp-nr-4-1?context=latest is using weaverbird mesh window frame component for this.

Hi kinggold,

I agree with Michael, I also think this is done with the Grasshopper Weaverbird plug-in.

I think in your case you need a panelling definition working with meshs.

Just have a look on this discussion, there I posted a mesh panelling definition.

Maybe it will help you.

Best,

Martin.

Hi kinggold, I did the minimal surface with Jon Mirtschin's mesh relaxation tool and the panelling with Giulio Piacentino's Weaver Bird (picture frames). Wieland

You're going to have a very hard time paneling to the triangulated faces on your mesh...the quad faces will be easier, if you get weaverbird, pull the edges of each face, and make a series of surfaces for morphing (although orienting your module will certainly be tricky as well!). You may want to try rebuilding your target mesh using Kangaroo and making sure that its topology is constructed entirely from quads. This might help you get started:
