Diffusion Limited Aggregation

My main Grasshopper development these days is Kangaroo, which is nearing a beta-release, but in the meantime here's another little bit of physics based messing around from a while back that I felt like sharing.

DLA is a simple algorithmic model of a type of fractal growth that produces dendritic forms which occur frequently in both living and non-living nature, introduced in 1981 by…

Project Kangaroo - Live 3D Physics for Rhino/Grasshopper

Project Kangaroo - Live 3D Physics for Rhino/Grasshopper from Daniel Piker on Vimeo.

Very early tests of my new project - a Physics engine working within Grasshopper and Rhino and allowing real-time interaction.

The intention is that the various types of form-finding and feedback this allows could inform and enable some new ways of designing… Continue
