Sonic

UPDATE: Sonic components are now part of Mosquito:

http://grasshopper3d.com/group/mosquito

-Refract

-Flow

-Surface/Target Ray (reflect)

Sonic is a Grasshopper plugin that allows you to cast multiple rays, calculate reflections(bounces), calculate flow paths down a sloped surface. (eg. water runoff) Plus Added Math components.

    wow~ it's awesome!

    It would be good  add a gravity vector input to Flow component...

    How would I be able to simulate watershed around human settlements using the flow script? i have attempted setting multiple surfaces and joining surfaces in the example script but nothing seems to work

  • Carson Smuts

    Hi Lisa, can you post an example file with some demo geometry and I will take a look.

  • Carson Smuts

    Lisa: here is a quick example of how I would go about doing this. The plugin requires a continuous single surface.... so , I modeled the terrain and the buildings and then used rhinos "Drape" command in order to get out a single surface representing the terrain and buildings.

    Then the plugin should work , taking into account both the terrain and buildings.

    flow.gh

    that's perfect, exactly what I was trying to do! is there a way to physically calculate supposed water runoff? I had extracted data from the endpoints of each curve and input those values into a panel, but all I understand it to be is location coordinates

    Hello,

    is there a way to use sonic reflection to create a noise map?

    many thanks,

  • Carson Smuts

    Norbert: could you be more specific? what do you mean by "noise map"? could you post an image or link?

    I have a problem with using Mosquito plug-in. And for reference, I tried to select "Multiple Data" as well. I got Mosquito 0.3. Thank you

    Jaewa: 

    This can happen on some window systems. The solution is to move the Newtonsoft.Json.dll file from the grasshopper components folder and put it inside the same directory as your Rhino.exe file.  Restart Rhino and Grasshopper and it should then work.
