by David Mans

Aug 12, 2015

The WIP release of mesh+ 2.0 is now available for download here.

This release is a complete overhaul of all components and introduces a large range of new functionality. Please report any bugs, issues, etc. on the grasshopper project page.

In addtion to updates to all previous components, new major additions include

  • Analysis components for the return of geometric and topological data
  • Selection components for both manual and parameter based selection of mesh elements
  • Smoothing components which introduces weighted subdivision methods
  • Make components which offer a range of methods for meshing surfaces
  • Mapping components which use Barycentric mapping to morph meshes and curves to mesh face bays.
  • And many other new components...

Sample files will be released shortly.

The following updates are in development now:

  • Make : Diamond Tiling
  • Make : Hexagonal Tiling
  • Smooth : Modified Butterfly
  • Smooth : Doo Sabin
  • Smooth : Face Based
  • Smooth : Edge Based
  • Smooth : Kobbelt
  • Smooth : PN Split
  • Volume : Manta
  • Volume : Gyroid
  • Graphics update (most icons are placeholders)
  • Descriptions will be revisited to check for clarity and consistency

Documentation is under development and will be released at a later time.

    Big update!

    Thank you, and thanks for keeping open source. What next? Where you are walking?

    Much encouragement with the documentation, doing so is a rather boring for me X)

    Daniel, thanks, huge fan of your work, so I hope you find the components useful, and please feel free to suggest revisions, improvements.

    Documentation will be coming in a couple of weeks.

    Samples will be out on Friday

    New components... tbd.

    Whats next is shifting efforts back to Bumblebee, Konrad Sobon has developed a version for Dynamo, and we have substantially rethought the workflow, so that will be coming up in a few months as well as a series of Windows Forms based tools for live chart, graph, and data display. 

    Next big step's for m+ will be developed for Rhino 6 and GH2. These will include integration of Plankton for better performance, and a move away from user object to creating an actual GHA. (still to be open source) This will be developed for both GH and also Rhino.

    I was just checking the sample files and was surprised of all the new approaches and how well they work. I like especially the different morphing and the subdivision components. Also the ring and band topology is interesting. What algorithm is behind them?
