I’ve recently started making small Rhino Python scripts with ChatGPT, so I’m still very much a beginner.
I’d like to recreate this type of diamond metal cladding (see attached image) on a reference surface, with real 3D overlapping tiles (the reference surface could also be curved and include window openings that I’d eventually like the tiles to trim around).
Before I dive into it, I was wondering if anyone knows of an existing script, plugin, Grasshopper definition, or a straightforward way to achieve something similar. Any suggestions on the best approach would also be greatly appreciated.
No fabrication at all;
It would be rendering (we try to push photorealism quite a bit; so using normal map or displacement sometimes is not enough) and also for documentation drawings.
