Information

Quelea - agent-based design for Grasshopper

Agent-Based Design for Grasshopper
+ A new paradigm for 3D modeling utilizing agents.
+ Assign forces and behaviors to systems of agents to create interactions.
+ Utilize any data to drive the system.
+ Easily debug your system by displaying individual force vectors.
+ High performance, parallel algorithms, spatial data-structures.
+ Write your own custom forces, no coding required.
+ Open source framework for others to build custom behaviors.
+ Boid forces: Cohese, Separate, Align, & View.
+ Contain Agents within Brep, Box, Surface, and Polysurface environments.
+ Forces: Path Follow, Attract, Contain, Surface Flow, Seek, Arrive, Avoid Obstacle, Avoid Unaligned Collision, Sense Image, Sense Point, & more to come.
+ Behaviors: Bounce Contain, Kill Contain, Initial Velocity, Eat, Set Velocity, & more to come.

Future work:

+ Behaviors to drive simulations of people and vehicles.

+ Temporal inputs can change the actions of the system over time.

If you find any bugs or have any feature requests please post them on the GitHub Issue Tracker which will allow everyone to see which bugs are open or closed and allows me to update you when it is fixed.

This is an open source project so if you need custom defined forces or behaviors for your project reach out to me about becoming a committer.

Hey Calvin Karel, 

see if this is something you want..obstacleavoidance.3dmobstacleAvoidance.gh

Hi all is it possible to achieve something like this using quelea

same flow of lines ???

Thanks in advance uelea

Hey Alex and All, 

Firstly, I'd like to thank Alex for the wonderful plug-in and the tutorials online. It has been a great help in understanding what Quelea could actually do and i can't wait to use it in my future school projects.

I've downloaded obstacle avoidance file from the Quelea website and am currently exploring on it. I've tried adding more components such as the "bounce behaviour" but it just doesn't seem to work well along with the "avoidance force". 

The image drawn below is what i was trying to achieve. A mixture of "Bounce Behaviour" and "Avoidance Force" that will steer away from the obstacles. Thus, creating a history lines to show random circulations. Would there be any possibility for the 2 components to work together ? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Kelvin Karel

Hi Alex

Is there a way to save each iteration of quelea points between separate lifespans? Currently every time a lifespan ends the next created Quelea replaces a pre-existing data tree path. It would be nice if each iteration of a particular lifespan was a separate data branch. So that the branch structure had depth. For example {i,x}, i as the current iteration of the lifespan and x as the particular path of quelea points. Maybe there is a way to do this that I am not seeing. Thanks in advance for the help.

Hey Alex!

Is it possible if you could do a tutorial on the Jewelery Heart necklace example? (The one where you made the agents follow a path) Otherwise is it okay if you upload the script you used to achieve that?

Comment by Andreas Iosif on September 17, 2015 at 4:48am

hello guys!

i was wondering if its possible to use Quelea as point emitter to update point cloud on Locust every time while seeking some points and add more particles in the swarming process. To create somehow a loop and make both working together, since i am not familiar with scripting methods. I guess i have high hopes, but if anyone got something to suggest that would be great. 

 

Thanks in advance! Great plug in! 

Comment by Djmonster on August 28, 2015 at 6:47pm

it would be so kind if u can do a pathFollow one. like the one u did in the test file

Comment by Alex Fischer on August 17, 2015 at 7:38pm

Hi Djmonster,

No need for sorry's, I created this group so you could bother me. There are some example scripts on the Quelea website here. Is there a particular file in the test folder that you wanted to look at? I can remake it manually for you.

Best,

-Alex

Comment by Djmonster on August 14, 2015 at 7:15am

Sorry to bother, but a lot of the script in the Source file u provided on GitHub is not working since u update the name of the Agent to Quelea. Is there any updated version of the test files?

Comment by Alex Fischer on June 21, 2015 at 2:04pm

That's awesome Petar, thank you for sharing it. It seems like you got it to work. There's not much that can be optimized in the script through, you have a lot of agents and a lot of interactions, it just is going to be slow. However, if you record your data points you can set it to simulate and play back in real time by using the list item and animate a slider.
