Obviously you can skip the creation part and instruct GH to deal with instance definitions already listed in the Block Manager (say: find the block named "cell666_B3" blah, blah) ... but that means that you can only use them (meaning a rather "limited" parametric approach) and not make them from scratch (meaning a true parametric approach).
But I guess that you've tried the block way in the Rhino environment already. That said I use rather solely this approach in GH and yields quite manageable object collections - I would say "real-time" response (up to 20K instances) but I use dedicated Xeon E5 1630 V3 workstations (with NVida Quadros K4200 and up for the graphic response part of the equation) so the "performance" is rather a subjective thing.
Modifications:
easily doable with GH (on instance definitions at placing time: since you need only to scale them and not vary their topology).
Anyway post a portion of the R file.…
FORE MeshMachine (rather better) or after
BTW: For a mesh with 7M points ... well... you'll need some proper CPU to deal in a reasonable amount of time (what about a Xeon E5 1630 V3?).
Alternatively find a friend who knows very well Modo ... and see first hand what the US Movie Industry is all about.…
, so using distance to centre point, you can give all the useless values a 1. Cutting down the values you actually need to work out by 80%. Which is helpful when approaching 1 million points.…
e able to loft them correctly. picked a point on the curve, decomposed points, selected x-output. but how to arrange the curves now from -n to +n?
cause my list looks like: -90,-80,-70,10,20,30,-60,-50,-40,40...
im so sorry but i have no idea, and unfortunately no time :(
thx in advance
michael…
the only thing that i have to fix is to make the holes appear semi-random. At for example at 30% - 80% of the height, or between fixed heights.Thanks again for your effort.…
7,8. It would plot on the line of the 20%, 20%, 70%, 80% of the length of the line. I'm not looking for a way to divide the curve by 2 and then by 2,not steps. So I would have two points at 20%. I hope this is clear.
Thanks,
Tom…
