Weaverbird – Topological Mesh Editor

Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers. Instead of doing the work repeatedly, or sometimes using complicated scripts, this plug-in reconstructs the shape, subdivides any mesh, even made by polylines, and helps preparing for fabrication. Weaverbird – 0.7.50.0 Spring GH. For Rhino 4/5 [...]

Grasshopper tools in C#

Grasshopper features an impressive amount of highly interlinked components – from lines to trees, from circles to graph editors. Sometimes, however, when design tasks become more advanced, we might need to further customize this plugin by directly borrowing from Rhino commands. With these scripting components, the user can quickly solve otherwise more complex design behaviors. [...]

Knitting patterns on a surface in Grasshopper

Last week I have been visiting my brother in Barcelona. Maybe I should blame the maritime environment if I started experimenting with knots and threads. So, what I am going to show you today is a method to digitally knit yarn in Grasshopper. A similar definition to make a chaining fabric is provided at the end [...]

"Mh, if I see it right, the error is on line 121, char 12: "Anl�gstype"It does not expect that character.Can you try just to see if that is the cause?If so, it is probably a problem of encoding. It should be possible to fix it.Giulio"

Weaverbird - Topological Mesh Editor

Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers. Instead of doing the work repeatedly, or sometimes using complicated scripts, this plug-in helps reconstructing shapes as meshes, subdivides and refines even polyline lists, and helps preparing the model for fabrication. Weaverbird is the first released addon for Grasshopper but the group is new, so please join it to participate in discussions, ask questions…See More

I thought it was developed with WB's catmull-clark subd. but for me that result is uncontrollable, but I like the result anyway¡¡

Thank you again, you rule¡¡

At 12:26pm on January 22, 2012, Roig said…: Hi giulio, great fan of yours¡

If you don't mind, i've got a question:

How do you control the mesh in your model (in your own web, see below) so it is arranged where it's possible? I mean, It is a regular mesh('ordenada' in spanish) in the main building and become irregular in the union...

Maybe this place is not the right place to ask you directly, please forgive me if not...

this is what I get:

thank's so much

Was wondering if you have an updated version of baking numbers as curves for the 0.7---- series?

At 10:46am on May 6, 2010, Zach Hines said…: Hi, Guilo, wanted to say thanks for the great components!

Also, I had a question about your Bake Attributes component. I want it to bake my object name in this format: obj(123) and it currently looks like this: obj123

Is there a way to add the () before and after the number?

Thanks,

Zach
