I am very excited to announce the release of a new build for Firefly, complete with a new suite of tools for computer vision and audio synthesis.  First, I would like to thank Panagiotis Michalatos for his support in the development of many of these new tools.  In…

Hey everyone, I submitted my thesis project to be considered for the land of tomorrow exhibition put on by suckerpunch. It’s a voting competition, so if you could go to this link and just click the little green vote button next to the main image that would be awesome. It literally takes 5 seconds (link below).…

does anyone know what they were using to generate the form and…

Since David Rutten added to GH the ability to set a default text panel background color, I’ve had my panels set to be white instead of the default bright yellow. But in all my old definitions, the panels remain yellow, and it drives me nuts. I was going through and changing them manually when it occurred to me that there was a much better way, based on a trick I saw David mention in a…

Dear Experts - or probably even beginners? . . . I am a complete newbie and am completely boggled! I have tried a million things but can't seem to crack this (probably) super simple problem.

I want to array a square along an arc (or a circle) - I have managed to get this far quite easily - but the square needs to rotate around its own axis by 90degrees (see scrnshot). I cant figure out how to create the "step and rotate" function. I only manage to rotate all the squares the same angle…

As mentioned in my earlier post I tinkered up a little quadtree definition, which in fact became an octree definition. The main component 'OCTREE' delivers 3 output streams: 'final' represents all the boxes that are the result of the point-specific number of recursions. 'iterated' represents all boxes that have been collected on the way of recursions, as long as they contained the point in question. 'skipped' represents all boxes that ehh..that have been skipped because they didn't contain…

Today I did a little bit of rework on an older project which was about quadtree illustrations. I stumbled upon the cluster input/output in the params tab. Wonderful..clusters are exactly what I was waiting for. Not just because they tidy up the canvas but also prevent the geek in me from messing up the production schedule by parameterizing for hours, days or weeks. Clusters are somewhat final. You wrap em up and go ahead.…

Having seen this video in Kuka PRC, http://vimeo.com/30506602, on kuka settings in Grasshopper has prompt me to ask more questions about simulation and path generating.

1: Having created a 3D object, how to create toolpath?

2. How to simulate in Rhino?

3. How to output SRC file?

Would anyone willing to do an example using this example model provided?…

This definition is sloppy at the moment and needs a lot of work.  The parking counts are not accurate (it counts lines instead of spaces) and the generating spaces need work as well.

I'm posting the progress though in case anyone wants to check it out.

It was roundabout 2002, Macromedia Flash was quite en vogue these days and the interconnection between algorithms and new visual experiences was virgin territory for thousands of designers. At this time I also got in touch with a set of easing formulas for the first time. Dunno where Robert originally got it from, but this set rapidly spread over the whole Flash-community and pushed (action)script-based animations to another…

Would you please send me the good web links for GrassHopper SDK development resources? I am not talking about VB  or C sharp dot net internal components(GH Scripting), but about how to deal with the global situation from GH SDK with Rhino.  I really need to have small demo on Grasshopper SDK  development.

I mean, which library I will need to call and will it be a Rhino SDK. I am developing Rhino SDK and SDK for Autodesk products for last couple of years. But never did GH SDK , so…

The 2nd parametric design workshop leipzig at the htwk Leipzig is finished.

On the website of the htwk Leipzig you can find some images from the workshop.

For the past 18 months I've been working as part of Method Design developing the geometry for the structural and connection steel for the cast stone in this project.  It's now been featured on both the archdaily and the architect's newspaper...…
