D.ghx" in the upper picture i assigned a hexagonal grid points to the CA algorithm and watched the evolution of one/two three cells (1/2/3points) and changed the rule slider until reached a symmetrical growth then assigned the final result of grown points to the Voronoi 3d algorithm file----i will record some videos of Mantis files to show all of my vision of using this tool within the next days

nting marketplace and community. Shapeways harnesses 3D printing to help designers and the curious make and share their ideas with the world. By providing a platform for individuals to share ideas and gain access to cutting edge technology, Shapeways is bringing personalized production to everyone. This hands-on lab will introduce designers to the world of web-based 3D printing services and the future of on-demand product marketplaces. Participants will receive a credit on Shapeways to fully realize their own design.
Audience:
Interior designers, architects, designers, representatives, and anyone who is interested in learning more about 3D printing and how this disruptive technology is impacting design.

Ronnie Parsons is an architect and expert in the field of generative design. As the co-founder of Mode Lab, a knowledge platform for creative professionals, he combines his expertise in design, technology, and education to help foster innovation across a dynamic, ever-evolving design community.…
mensional constructs.
I'm really clueless at the moment on how to achieve the latter. I have compiled 3 excel datasets of my chosen painter - Rembrandt, in terms of his paintings and year they were produced, location coordinates of the places he lived and visited before, and paintings' location coordinates.
Is there any script file or tutorial that I can refer to? I have been trying my best to search for it or I can't find anything relevant.
I have attached two images to show the output of the task I'm supposed to produce. They depict the relationship between artificial and public spaces in the world, shown as 2D and 3D diagrams produced in Grasshopper and rendered in Rhino.
Any help is genuinely appreciated as my deadline is around the corner.…

an do many things, because it outputs booleans in fact. World generator outputs only 3d grid of points, and this 2 (bools and points) give many possibilities. Culling points with booleans output pattern displays only points that are alive (true). Proximity 3d gives only a good preview on what is happening with CA.
Voronoi 3d gives structure like "3d ca.jpg" in my attachments. These are 93 points (true booleans -> alive), but it took quite a long time to calculate it.

Mesh Intersection trims great with two mesh objects, but not so good with 3 mesh objects. I've tried every combination known to man and beast, but can't get the same results intersecting 2 versus 3 mesh objects.
What am I missing?

ves not fat beams.
(3) Extract the triangular "unit cell" from one of the faces.
(4) Simply move/scale them into place onto each 3D mesh face using box morph or equivalent transformation.
(5) Flesh out the truss lines with various plug-ins, especially Cocoon marching cubes.
Now looking at Intralattice, I see nearly the exact same workflow!:
"1. We first begin with a cell component, which will generate a unit cell. This unit cell is the basis for the lattice topology.
2. The next stage involves a frame component, which will populate a design space with the unit cell, based on various parameters.
3. The final stage involves a mesh component, which will convert the lattice wireframe (a list of curves) to a solid mesh, which can be 3D printed."
Distinction: my definition is for thick surfaces that enclose empty space. Intralattice is more fully filling 3D based on a 3D unit cell. Mine is for what may be called a 2 1/2D or 2.5D cell since its completely reliant on the pseudo 2D form of a mesh surface despite it's 3d curvature.…
e the same (a 3d point is 3 floating point numbers), is to measure if their difference is smaller than a tolerance value.
For example, check if the distance between the two points is smaller than 0.01. If it is, assume that they are the same point.…
