Creating Fibrous form with attractor points to create density

rogers.j.matty · February 8, 2018, 3:05pm

Hi guys,

I am looking to create something like the attached image. does anyone know if this is possible in grasshopper? I know this image was made in python but I feel that may be beyond me!

I want to be able to control density of the fibres with attractor points.

Thanks in advance!

Alternatively populate 3D and push and pull with attractors with specific domains to get the starting points, then a mix of shortest walk or proximity 3D for the starting lines, edge bundling (try Frei Otto, wooly paths) and a lot of stuff from the transform tab, maybe download jackalope. Or try field lines, might be fun!

This Culebra looks amazing thank you! Are there any example scripts anywhere? Lets hope it does the trick Thanks a lot

With the download you get example files and there’s also a quick tutorial video

Have a look at nursery http://www.food4rhino.com/app/nursery . Gwyll (author of nursery) taught with francois for several of these studios, And nursery is his grasshopper toolset for making stuff like this. I would assume this was actually done with Processing and Toxiclibs:
