Hi all, My question is regarding how to create a branched root system that begins above ground from a stem as shown in Fig 1. (Image) Fig 2. (Plan view) Fig3. (Section). Steps taken: I have used Grasshopper for creating the circular plan view L-branching I have set the parameters for the depth o…

Here some explanation on a way to have something more similar than that you want. let say you want something in a cylinder of radius 10 and height 10, centered on 0, 0, 0 Let’s generate the roots with seed points on a disk. The points are set on 2 levels Z=0 and Z=-1. [image] Then points on the…

For creating some sort of “realistic” result you should avoid at any cost any L-System and go the recursive way (but this requires code - if real-time results and complex solutions are required). See the “inverse” (i.e. grow in posZ that yields a tree (and a DataTree for monitoring the history of ac…

Hello You can look at these discussions [image] Shortest Walk Tapered Branching Script This is the script of Daniel Abalde's Peacock tapered offset post, here: http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/the-variable-offset-component-spends-0-5-seconds-w… …

Hi there, Funnily, I used the Shortest Walk Tapered Branching Script to create the branching shown above since the L-systems weren’t working. The smoother geometry thread is exactly what I was looking for, so thank you :slight_smile:

Hi there, This looks amazing, my reasoning for going with the method I initially did is because the roots don’t have much variation in angles/root numbers. Within the Range of Degrees slider, if reduced would that factor in a simpler form such as below? [image]

[image] libaanw.rsame: a simpler form In general with a proper recursion you can anything imaginable (and if something is missing … you just add another variable). All that are very simple … provited that you know how to code (otherwise is pure Chinese). Anyway here’s the core of the matter …

Cheers, In general I am familiar with it and have done a couple Linkedin learning sessions. Am I proficient in it, is a separate matter haha

Hi Laurent, Thank you for the explanation, I can see where I went wrong not having generated and connected the radial points with the separate trunk (and the shortest walk that connects through both). The smoothness of Dendro really is amazing despite it not being from smoothed curves. My initial p…

Don’t worry the definition is provided, see above! It is always more pleasant to work for polite people that makes effort.

[image] libaanw.rsame: Linkedin learning sessions C# is like martial arts: you need isolation, NO Internet, NO computer, books, Karma, cigars and Vodka. So … get this for a start and add things that you may need (for instance a ceiling option [ but why?] and/or an option to restrict the solu…

Hi Laurent, Really sorry to disturb, when opening the file it keeps showing this error. P.S. The black export looks insane and alien-esque! [Item1] [Item2]
