Hi Andres! Actually this "plant" doesn´t use fibonacci (which would be botanically correct). It was a very quick and dirty approach to creat something plant-like. So the whole thing bases on a star-shaped leaf element that is copied along a spine curve. The rotation of the elements works like a twist modifier.

 

You can download the Rhino file and the GH definition here.

 

Cheers,

Frank

Frank, great job! i guess you did use a Fibonacci for the distance?

it would be great if you could upload the definition here or maybe send it to andriusmv@gmail.com?

Again congrats! cheers

Hi Frank
Just wondering - how did you render it?
Thanks

Hi Dmytro!
In the picture you can see the definition and the rhino scene (a little bit small, sorry). The main curve and the leaf element are directly modeled (and manipulated) in rhino. The grasshopper definition creates a number of points on the curve and puts a copy of the leaf element on each of them (and in the local orientation of the curve). So the distance between the the elements depends on the length of the curve and the amount of leaves along the curve.

hi, which function u've used to make a distance between leaps ?
I wonder to see definition file.
Thanks.
