Inspiration - Grasshopper as information tool

a very cool site of visualized information and images: Visual Complexity visualcomplexity.com In terms of 'scripting' programs used, processing seems to be popular for these types of visualizations. But I think grasshopper would be a more accurate and methodological process of achieving these types of images?! Any thoughts or examples? Bake and illustrate! :] Jali

    the ability to manage large data set of gh and using rhino as a (3d) vector drawing tool, was usefull for me to express the idea of "sound intensity" as a spatial-volume concept.......this basic image i did for my thesis project shows how an intensity (in dB) of a certain frequency (Hz) changes the radius of a sphere when you are close or far from the sound source.....

    gh it really helped me to visualize sound intensity not as numeric data alone......

    Hey Yerko,

    Really interesting stuff! :]

    Did you come to any conclusion in your thesis regarding the sound intensities you mapped?
