MSAFluids with Processing and Grasshopper

2013-04-01T16:41:00.812Z

We recently checked out the MSAFluids library for Processing, a fluid simulation engine based on Navier-Stokes equations. Not physically accurate, but visually awesome.

We edited the MSAFluid java library a bit to add interior collisions in Processing. This allowed us to import building footprints to the canvas in order to see how fluids would interact with different shapes.

Gestural object selection in Rhino

2013-02-27T07:54:11.257Z

Now using two webcams (the other is above, out of view) to get 3D info out of my gestures. Grasshopper detects which object in the Rhino scene I am closest to, and then by pausing on that object, it is automatically selected in Rhino itself (moving out of camera view deselects everything). The goal of this is to create gestural workability within the pre-existing Rhino commands.

Major credit goes to Andy Payne for his Firefly components, and to Andrew Heumann and Chris Tietjen for scripting help.

Object creation (line and extrusion)

2012-09-24T03:52:37.620Z

First steps into webcam-based 3D modeling. One finger draws a line, multiple fingers creates an extrusion. My hope is to eventually have the modeling interface allow Drawing, Editing (perhaps with Kangaroo-based forces), and Viewing (see previous videos).

The script relies heavily on Andy Payne's vision and utility components in Firefly and also uses "interactive baking" with Rhino, courtesy of a baking component in Nathan Miller's Lunchbox and reference tools in Jacek Markusiewicz's Horster Reference. There's no Hoopsnake yet, but I think I'll have to put it in when things start to get more complicated.

I need to start coming up with a fancy name. Live Drawing? Hmmm....
