algorithmic modeling for Rhino
The Pufferfish is one of few animals which is capable of changing its shape.
This plugin is a set of 318 components which focuses on Tweens, Blends, Morphs, Averages, Transformations, & Interpolations - essentially Shape Changing. Pufferfish mainly uses parameters and factors for inputs for more custom control over operations like tweens and grids as opposed to grasshoppers usual division count inputs. These components are accompanied by support components which are useful methods for tween / blend / morph / lattice operations such as making curves compatible, a custom curve graph mapper, and a multi-threaded morph to twisted box. In addition, there are extra components which simplify some common grasshopper operations such as testing for equality within a tolerance and rounding to nearest numbers. Please email me if you find any bugs. Works with Grasshopper for Rhino 5, Rhino 6, Rhino 7 WIP, and Rhino Mac.

Pufferfish V2.1: Update - adds 13 new components. Mostly utility and helper components. Additional inputs/outputs added to some components. General optimizations and fixes all around. Some components require at least Rhino 5 SR14. After installing the pufferfish2-1.gha, please close Rhino completely one time to avoid potential assembly reference errors with the "Twisted Box" components. Make sure to first remove any other versions of Pufferfish you may have installed.
Fatima check this discussion
https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/pufferfish-2-0-discrete-polylines/66...
@Fatima not really possible to tell where you are going wrong without the file and geometry.
Hi!
First I want to thank you for such a great plug in, it is great and very fun to explore.
Im an architecture student, currently doing my graduation project (Vertical City), and I have been exploring closest vector guide curves to create a skin for my building.
Im so new to grasshopper, so I just have couple questions if you have the time:)!
(Im using your example files btw) with Rhino 6 + Puffer fish 2.0
-
This is rough sketchs of what I want it to look like.
-
here Im trying to get the vectors to start from around the building by using populate geometry instead of plane but it still starts from underneath the building instead of around it. How may I fix this ?
-
As for here, I have changed the resolution of vector star and it still looks rough and has unorganized lines around, can this be fixed ?
-
Thank you :)
Pufferfish V2.0: Update - adds 16 new components. Most notably components for Tweening Curves Along Curves, A custom Curve Graph Mapper which accepts any and multiple curves as inputs to graph with, Unsplit Surface components for making polysurface like surfaces which read as one untrimmed surface, Twisted Box components like Sweep, Deform, Thicken, and Subdivide. Additional features and options added to previous components. General optimizations and fixes all around. Some component rearrangements in the tabs. Some components require at least Rhino 5 SR14. After installing the pufferfish2-0.gha, please close Rhino completely one time to avoid potential assembly reference errors with the "Twisted Box" components.
Pufferfish V1.9: Update - Re-uploaded Pufferfish V1.9 to add a K (Keep) input on the Mirror Cut components dealing with geometry which gives the option of keeping the input geometry and mirroring them regularly if it is mirror cut into non-existence, or to output them as null/empty in that case. Re-uploaded the V1.9 example files as well.
Pufferfish V1.9: Update - adds 26 new components. Most notably Mirror Cut components for all geometry types, Scale To Length, Twisted Box Curve Variable, and Twisted Box Pipe Variable, Parameter Mesh Surface, Trim components and others. Additional features, options, and outputs added to previous components. General optimizations and fixes all around. Some component rearrangements in the tabs and renamed. Some components require at least Rhino 5 SR14. After installing the pufferfish1-9.gha, please close Rhino completely one time to avoid potential assembly reference errors with the "Twisted Box" components.
@Garikundesu ah yes - Rhino6>Plug-ins>Grasshopper>Components is where the files that make up native grasshopper go. Libraries is for Grasshopper Plug ins.
Hi Michael,
I could finally install it with success. I found the problem.
After downloading the component file, i pasted it in Rhino6>Plug-ins>Grasshopper>Components, while the software could load everything except the twisted box Tab.
Now i removed it from there and i went to paste it in Users>AppData>Roaming>Grasshopper>Libraries, and every Tab of Pufferfish is now working.
Thank you so much for the swift answers regardless of the time difference.
Cheers,
