Here is another basic exercise in Grasshopper. This exercise “Point Waves” creates wave-like deformations on the grids of points. The major function of the definition is to calculate the distances from every point of a grid to an attractor point, with the help of Distance (Dist). Then it sorts them from the smallest to the largest (= closest to farthest) with the Sort List (Sort) component. This component takes and matches two lists of the same size, called key (K) and value (A), and sorts the list of keys
This is an interesting study for me. First, I developed a regular tree generation definition in Grasshopper. It was similar to those I studies earlier, here, here, and here. I call this dancing tree, because, then, I added a group of components to animate the growth. Here is the Grasshopper definition. You can see it better if you click on the diagram. The result looks like this when the Number Slider in group number 3 is increased from 0 to 1. Here is another animation: In component group 1, I […]
Here is the method I used for approximately modeling the Gyroid, a triply-periodic minimal surface. It is very popular in architecture because the symmetrical solid and voids in includes are interesting. I modeled this for the Common-action Wall project we exhibited together with Fulya Akipek in 2017. After several attempts to generate it in Grasshopper, I decided to model it in Rhino. There are some sources on the internet, explaining the geometric modeling process. However, none of them was giving me the
