Inspiration for final poster renders







Final Grasshopper Script



This is the complete grasshopper file capture of my Final model. I have submitted the weekly progress of this model in serparate grasshopper and rhino files in the course folder along with my submission work.

TUTORS: REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU OPEN MY GRASSHOPPER FILE, IF THE MODEL DOES NOT APPEAR IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE WEAVERBIRD INSTALLED ON YOUR MACHINE!

Above is my final flowgraph model which contains 4 main clusters of nodes that can vary the overall output of the model.

- The top left group contains a WeaverBird Prism (wbPrism) which begins the modelling process by creating a shape of which to work off. I have attached three sliders to the prism varying the number of sides in the prism, the size of the prism and the levels or section lines within the prism. 

- Below this is a Point Grid node (pComp) which uses the output of a RecGrid and feeds it into pComp - decomposing those points into component parts, which have then created the points using those (x,y) coordinates.

- I then wanted to create multiple curves that connect the points in the x or y direction. Ultimately creating a set of curves that will bend based on point attractors. The at the bottom left contain this. I created four curves with a number slider for each curves x and z output. As well as this I made two number sliders that link the y axis of each curve together. 

- The group on the top right is the main output cluster. This group contains a Weaverbird Frame tool where the slider varies the edge count, resulting with each new face containing a new hole forming a mesh type form. A Weaverbird Thicken tool attached to a multiplier changes the thickness of the strands in the mesh form.
