Cellular Sphere

Having some more fun pushing this definition to breaking point. Invested a bit more time into the creation of form this time. It is based on Voronoi component, but hopefully i modified/distorted it enough that you won't hold that against me. Animation in comments below. No rendering, no post-processing, images are grasshopper previews. Development from this: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/organic-sphere?context=latest www.tyrertecture.com

    Perfect! I look forward to you explain us how you did it!!!!!!!

  • JS

    How is this a grasshopper preview!? Do you need a plugin or something to get it to glow?

  • Nick Tyrer

    Dani: In time

    JS: Magic! No plugin, its not actually glowing, its basically the colour of the mesh. The inner side of the mesh is white the outside is black. I like the effect.

  • David Stasiuk

    Excellent...nice tip on the mesh light effect as well.

  • Nick Tyrer

    Thanks David. There was a conversation i was in a while ago about using grasshopper to render but i can't find it. But it was enlightening (pun intended) showing alternative ways to display meshes from gh.

    I google searched it but 'grasshopper' and 'render' are pretty generic words.

  • Nick Tyrer

    No wait! I found it, it was in the comments of one of my images. I suppose it not best place for public knowledge.

    Nice work Nick, good to see your progress. Hope i find soon some time for a AO implementation.

  • Navaneeth

    Very nice work Nick and thanks for the 'mesh color' tip.

  • Nick Tyrer

    Thanks Thomas, it was actually yourself and Ursula at Jordan that opened my eyes to meshes. Though i don't know what AO implementation means...
