Nautilus plugin

[laurent_delrieu]

I just published on food4rhino my plugin named Nautilus.
https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/nautilus

@DanielPiker , I use one of your script, tell me if it is OK for you.

Shortest walk curves smoothing

Here’s a little script for smoothing a graph: graphsmooth_example.gh (48.9 KB) and with the initial graph generation using shortest walk: graphsmooth.gh (12.8 KB) I guess it could be adjusted to also merge the segments into nurbs curves.

This plugins allows to:

• Draw Spirals
• Make directional Reaction Diffusion on a mesh
• Make perfect Maze on a mesh
• Generate single line path useful for 3d printing (will be licenced)
• Tools to make thin structure objects(will be licenced)
  • Clustering,
  • Flattening
  • Riveting
    Some tools needs ergonomic modifications or bug treatment.

Some of the tools requires a licence. At the moment there is a key that is good up to the end of the year.

Many new tools must be added in the next months. Tell me if you want something or if there are bugs (I have seen some).

Hi @laurent_delrieu congratulations on the new plugin. Looking forward to trying it out. Yes I’m happy for you to use that script, thanks for checking.

[closedcurve (Weston)]

Really enjoying this so far, thanks Laurent.

I put a list of examples on food4rhino

Thanks for the shout-out! And best of luck with the plug-in.

Hi, the link to f4r seems broken, and can you post some images of the use?

Hi @Holo
You will find here some of the results that coud be done by the plugin
Mesh clustering subject

Mesh clustering

[ba8688d3781e6455757789ec70ab5d8f16804698_2_1000x1000] Following the question of Gijs here a short explanation of my mesh clustering. A shape (disk here) is first triangulated with mesh machine, [image] Some random lines are draw on the shape [image] Points on lines are used to get index of mesh faces that are closes to the points. These index in a Datatree are then used as the seed to cluster the mesh [image] Contour of the cluster mesh is extracted as a polyline [image] Polyline …

Single line fill

First journey in 3D printing

Some weeks ago I began my journey in the 3d printing world. The main job was to generate 3d printer paths from closed curves which represent the intersection between a slice (plane or not) and a solid. The paths must be a single curve, which means the extruder never stop to extrude during the print. The results are very similar from what is presented here and on this paper “Connected Fermat Spirals for Layered Fabrication” The main tool is Offset from Clipper but there are many optimizatio…

Directional reaction diffusion

Reaction diffusion simulation on surface based on Gray Scott model not working

Hi. I’ve been trying to simulate a RD system based off the original script by @laurent_delrieu from a few years ago From here but it doesn’t seem to work correctly when I attempt to use a negative multiplier to produce the pattern on the mesh (mesh just produces glitches). I’m doubtful that rewriting this in python will be much better for performance (too much overhead?) but if I can get this working enough to see the effects visually, I’ll rewrite the script this week. I’ve also looked into g…

Maze

Some new geodesic that output all geodesics found

Also a pack and scale to Unit component. So whatever scale geometries could be seen on the same scale.

[Holo]

Absolutely stunning, thanks for sharing!

[mathias_gmachl]

Looks great @laurent_delrieu ! Congrats.

Will this work in 2023?
Thanks!

[laurent_delrieu]

The plugin works just some components will output partial results. Components with red or yellow square.
I will perhaps suppress these components from this plugins.

[nial.quinlan]

This looks awesome! Are you able to show example files for the reaction diffusion module and others? Looking back at the old examples is confusing as they have different modules.

[laurent_delrieu]

Hello
I put some examples on food4rhino

[nial.quinlan]

I saw the screenshots but completely overlooked the examples in the download section. Thank you!

The Food4Rhino page is missing

[laurent_delrieu]

I suppress it from food4rhino. If i reload it i must change the licencing suppress some tools that nobody want to buy. What are your interest

[laurent_delrieu]

Nautilus is back!

I added some components.
Component to outputs fonts and text as curve, surface or brep

One component to cut a mesh/brep rotate the part and link the 2 parts.

I need help with text effects

Hi everybody. With basic commands, can I do the same. I don’t know how to do it yet [image] [image]

A tool to calculate the radius of branches of tree

Organic trees

Here some techniques or link to make organic trees. There are not surely good glasses to drink but I wanted some simple geometry to test techniques. [glass_tree] There are some components that are very useful to make Trees. Without speaking of the generation of points Proximity 3d and Shortest Walk are the main tool to make trees. [image] The parameter group changes a lot the looking of the tree [image] See this discussion The second useful component is able to smooth the line network…

A tool to add arc on a polycurve

Parametric lampshade: how to generate arches from a polygon?

Hello internet, I am currently working on a program for variating and generating a design for a hanging lamp shade. This lampshade will be made up out of many smaller arcs, which are layered and then 3D-printed in transparant filament. I have added pictures of my current design for reference. I am able to make a program for lofting the shape through sections, but making a program for the cross-section geometry is tickling my brain a bit. I need to divide a polygon into the different smaller ar…

Spiral on a sphere at constant distance. Useful to populate a sphere with spheres.

Here a little one that was useful is some applications. It is a mesh sphere with a specified tolerance. So the number of faces depends on the radius and the precision specified.

HI, How can i obtain the Plug-in? I cant fund in food for rhino

[laurent_delrieu]

There is a validation process and it is the week end!

[travemaxi]

Very well, thanks!
