"That is the [List Item] component. In the latest GH versions you can zoom in on the component and add additional outputs for +1, +2, +3 etc. and -1, -2, -3 etc."

Evolutionary Principles applied to Problem Solving

This blog post is a rough approximation of the lecture I gave at the AAG10 conference in Vienna on September 21st 2010. Naturally it will be quite a different experience as the medium is quite different, but it my hope the basic premise of the lecture remains intact. This post deals with Evolutionary Solvers in general, but I use Rhino, Grasshopper and Galapagos to demonstrate the topics.

Hi David,


I know you are currently very busy with your relocation issue.
Still I will be very pleased if you could reply, whenever you find some spare time.
I am interested in your "Grasshopper Voronoi Xmas" video from here.
Could you share the definition please?

Thank you.

hahahah david it blew me nearly off my chair when I found my script part of your ACADIA video!! It is at 2:15 and I am very proud that I am a part of this video. Keep up your awesome work and thanks for it, you made all this happen!

best klemens

Congratulations David! Grasshopper is a huge contribution in Architecture. You deserved it.

Hi David,

I apologizing for disturbance.

I did not know to whom do I need to send this issue.

I made a reply in particular topic. After posting I noticed that I made a few spelling mistakes, so I edited the post, and saved it.

After posting it, I noticed that one of my images (which I included in post), was cut on it's left side. Like this:

I thought that I made an error while making this image in Photoshop, so I made another one in Photoshop, edited my post, imported the new image, and saved it. Again the same thing happened. And this time I was sure that the image was correctly created in Photoshop. It appeared later that the first one was correctly created too.

 

Now I thought that maybe shrinking of the image size will help, so I shrunk the image width from 724 to 700 pixels. And again I saved the post. Nothing - the same thing, image is shrank on it's left part.

 

I though that maybe I need to refresh the page. I did that and a strange thing happened. After the page, completes it's refreshing, my post disappears and only the attached .gh file remains. Like this:

Here is the video capture of this situation:

http://youtu.be/m0WfGXEyDC4

 

My intention was not to edit the post so many times, but I did not know what to do.

I know you are not responsible for the forum code itself, but maybe you can address this issue to the ones that are.

 

Thank you for your time and sorry for disturbance.

 

Regards

Djordje Spasic

hi david, i have recently begun trying to work with marching cubes. I was wondering if you could recommend some links to things that would help me understand how it works. thank you

Conguratulations, David RUTTEN..for ACADIA AWARD..YOU ARE the MAN who created Grasshopper..so, Thank you so much for that.

 

Keep going .... (:

dear David,

I am trying to use data from Ecotect by using Geco and trying to optimize my facade to an optimal shape against the sunlight where it recieves the least abount of red on it. 

I would like to know if there is a way to convert the mesh colour from RGB to some usable value. Specially the red colour? So that I can link it with galapagos and find an optimal form?

Hi David,

I'm using DIVA for Rhino and Galapagos to generate architectural solutions. I'm using the Last version of GrassHopper. I have some troubles with the Galapagos parameters as Max stagnant and Population Number and also the Runtime limits. The problem is that Galapagos dont respect the values given to these parameters.(Screen shots)

Best regards,

Anis
