For my project I want to make a sphere or spherical-like shape and pack it with circles of varying sizes. The circles all have to touch each other and thus on a point where three circles 'sort of' meet, there can only be three circles. This is shown in the second picture I have attached, a 2D circle packing made by Daniel Piker. So basically what I want to achieve is having the second picture projected on a 3d surface, that I can also edit. Also I would like to be able to change the size and amount of the circles that populate the surface. This means that I would be able to say 'there should be 30 circles with a radius of 2, 40 circles with a radius of 3 and 50 circles with a radius of 4, put them on this particular shape'.
As I've just started the project I haven't done so much research yet. What I have found is for example this Kangaroo definition of circle packing in 2D: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/group/kangaroo/forum/topics/circle-packing-definition?xg_source=activity
It is very beautiful and does exactly what I want to achieve, except that it is in two dimensions. I also have to say that I feel pretty confident working with both Grasshopper and Rhino, but not really with Kangaroo. I have used it a few times but not extensively.
So what I'm wondering is, how could I best approach this project? I looked into the concept of 'circle packing' and I noticed that it can be approached very mathematically. As I am an architecture student I don't know much about the math behind the geometry (although I do think it is very interesting) and thus I'm wondering if I will be able to achieve what I want to achieve. Also, do you think I could best approach the project in Kangaroo and do you think it is realistic for me to think I could finish the project? I'm just trying to see if I'm not going to try to tackle a problem that is very difficult to solve even for skilled mathematicans or something. Sorry for the long and perhaps vague read, but I would be very happy with any sort of input you might have on my problem!
Thanks in advance!

ectly in grasshopper (drawing a curve on top of a line with different angles), i did the curve shape in rhino and import it into grasshopper.
i'm having a problem where some of the sine curve shape can orient or map onto the triangle surfaces nicely, but some of them do not. whenever i try to orient the shape onto the bottom portion of the icosahedron, the shape becomes 'negative', forcing me to flip the lines before offsetting and patch (i am using loft method) or else it will become a weird loft (image 3).
i have tried several different ways to orient the ones that worked (orient 3d in rhino, rotate 3d etc.) and still could not get them to work.
the reason that i want them to face in the same direction is so that i can use WB thicken and make sure they extrude in the same direction. i have tried to unify the normal faces in grasshopper and still it is not working.
does anyone have any idea why or how can i do this? your help will be greatly appreciated. i am fairly a beginner in GH so if there is any other easier method to do this will also be great :)

between internal structural frameworks and non-bearing skin elements, this approach promotes heterogeneity and differentiation of material properties. The project demonstrates the notion of a structural skin using a Voronoi pattern, the density of which corresponds to multi-scalar loading conditions. The distribution of shear-stress lines and surface pressure is embodied in the allocation and relative thickness of the vein-like elements built into the skin. Its innovative 3D printing technology provides for the ability to print parts and assemblies made of multiple materials within a single build, as well as to create composite materials that present preset combinations of mechanical properties.

and the degree of your periodic curve is 3, then start picking one point to the left. If the degree is 5, start pickin 2 points to the left, etc.
Every curve has a domain. A domain is a numeric range defined by two numbers (a lower and an upper bound). Within the domain, the curve exists and the equations which govern the geometry of the curve yield decent answers. The lower limit represents the start of the curve, the upper limit the end of the curve. Everywhere in between you can evaluate curve properties (position, tangency, curvature and any other derivatives, tension, torsion etc. etc.).
There is no significance attached to the actual numbers in a domain. All that is required is that the lower limit is smaller than the upper limit. When we create curves in Rhino we tend to pick domains that represent the length of a curve, but if you scale a curve afterwards you change the length, but not the domain.
Curve parameters are numbers inside this domain. Basically, think of all curves as finite line segments which can be bend, kinked and stretched in 3D space. Curve parameters are locations on the 1-dimensional space that is defined by the line. The curve equations are all about converting those one-dimensional parameters into three-dimensional points and vectors.
Like I said, the mathematics are pretty involved and periodic curves are more difficult still.

mber of ways, and how they are represented will dictate the final outcome.
2)If you use rectangles a question for area would be how do you dictate the ratio between the width and length? It may be easier to use circles or rather simple points with a specific charge attached relating to required area, think of the metaball component in 2d or using an isosurface in 3d (I recommend Daniel Piker's Aether plugin). So do you want something orthogonal or more amorphous?
3)Means of creating adjacency: I think for the best results you will want something that operates recursively. Hoopsnake, Octopus, Loop all allow you to create your own recursive loops, however, you might find that using something like circle/sphere packing within kangaroo will give you the desired results. In the case of Kangaroo, the spheres can be given different volumes and the connective network treated as springs to push and pull things together.
4)At this point you will have your basic geometric relationships, start simple and build up. You will want to go back and embed more intelligence into the script pulling in new parameters and inputs to relate to the given context (orientation, sun angles, topo of site, vertical arrangement, circulation). Here you may add new forces to the kangaroo to create a repelling force or attraction to certain areas.
5)Once you have this all in place it is time to flesh out the model, floor plates, partition, aperture, etc. This can be done strictly in GH native. Your primary challenge is establish believable connection between the recursive solver and the forces and output, not an easy task, but very doable.
Good luck, …
ual not tactile. i havnt touched the roof of my house i have been living in since 25 years yet its a part of my space. its still a visual plane between me and sky ( except that it protects me from rain). anyway, the point was to reconstruct huge cathedrals without moving big amount of earth.I came up with Nuun lense ( i had in sketches, it will be shorter form of this ugly cube, probably in mms) which will line the necessary floors and stairs-wells and towers.
During my experiment I realized this can be used for visualizing architectural spaces in real time, specially for arch student, it could be used as a console, that can replace cad and other 3d softwares. you can draw basic grids, orthogonal shapes ( not Zaha hadid stuff ). I still am very enthusiastic about this idea. I want to see it function some day.
Grasshopper was used to drive poor reflectors through firefly, to bend laser.( it failed badly) Its just for idea if anybody likes to follow, i dont have enough resources but it would make me happy if some day i see students working on realtime laser models and building having virtual ornamentation.
Any architecture/ electronics student who wants to further his research in lasers and its application in virtual modeling can contact me.

ive input but I have no clue how to begin doing this. I've read about using Processing and have even tried something with Processing but it didn't work for me.
I haven't had any luck finding step by step tutorials on inputing data with the 'read file' tool either. I have a feeling that just knowing how to import data would help a lot but the only examples I've found didn't work for me.
I'll be honest though, when it comes to programming and code, I'm an idiot and at a very beginner level. However, once I have working code to study and play around with, I pick up pretty quickly. I've done this with some of the GH definitions I've found and had some good results.
Basically, it's been very difficult and frustrating since I've spend literally 4 weeks trying to figure this out. Like I said, I'm not good with code! Fortunately I've had a little bit of help from the GH community and am very thankful. With any luck, maybe some other people on here would be willing to help out a couple students working on a thesis project? We don't have money but could exchange fabrication services for your help with code or definitions. We have access to a 3 axis CNC mill, Laser Cutter and FDM printer.
Thanks for your time (and hopefully your help),
Matt.

ry branches would be an added bonus.)
I had an idea of using contours to find the center point, then connecting these found center points to create my centerline. However, I am facing a few challenges... specifically, I do not know how deal with splits in the tree branch.
I think I have an idea for how to deal with this, but I am not skilled enough (yet) to execute. The whole idea would look like this:
1) create a list of contours through the tree branch
2) connect the center points of the contour lines
3) when a single contour produces two separate polylines (when the tree splits), AND the previous contour produces only a single polyline, divide the list into two new lists starting at that contour.
4)when a single contour produces two separate polylines, AND the previous contour also produces two separate polylines, draw a polyline between the closest pair of centroids.
Has anyone run into this (or something similar) before? And, is this a good way of going about it?
The attached script is incomplete, but has the oak tree branch internalized.
I have been struggling hard with this....Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Ethan

lot - therefore I can not really understand what they did. I really like what you did but you took it too far. I am more interested in the circle and the square points and how you got them to change the shape along the curve. I will dissect your file and see if I can transfer the idea into one plane - as flat as it gets - probably going to take me a while.
What I want to do is this - in simple 2d - I will extrude it after I pick the shape that I like best that can be obtained from this morphing of 2d shapes
And I have managed to do it in a 3d form see cube (run the galapagos simulator) and the galapagos files - galapagos will make my shape move from a circle to a whatever shape - but i don't know what parameters I can input before that.
I just need to morph or whatever it is called the base of the future building or/and each level - individually - extruding after and placing in the right position should not be so difficult. I tried with loft before I wrote this post but if you open the file you will see my little disaster - please don't laugh too hard I am still new at this :P - that is also why my explanation of what I want is not that accurate.
