Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

This is the first successful test of my Miura-Ori folding simulation in Grasshopper. This initially started as a Processing sketch (using Toxiclibs), though it has undergone significant changes since then.

My initial attempts to simulate this required the use of imaginary spring forces, but now the folding mechanism can be attributed to the Hinge force in Kangaroo.

I'm not quite sure how to label this, as it's not really the Miura-Ori fold, and it isn't technically rigid origami anymore (due to the spring lengths changing small amounts). For the same reason, it ceases to be a developable surface, so its not really origami anymore.
