Nautilus plugin

[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!

[Javier_Torres]

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 envelop a network of lines (that lies on a surface or a mesh)

Thicken a network of lines with specified half section

A tool to carve a mesh with deformed ellipses

Mesh carving/chiseling (How To)

Here are some renders of simple meshes that were carved/chiseled with 2 methods. Explanations will follow.

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.

[travemaxi]

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!

[daniilangelo.bravi]

@laurent_delrieu But the cost of the plug-in? There is no price indication on the site.

[laurent_delrieu]

The price will be on food4rhino. But i have to make it clear what is included or not.

[laurent_delrieu]

There is also a tool to populate an image
2 first images with standard settings and use of Remove Overlapping Circles and if you don’t want to use it, use the Cs Output of Populate an Image

[laurent_delrieu]

And now on 0.5 version a tool to make hexagons on a surface with seams, like a revolved one a tube, a pipe, … You just have to give a surface, a number of ring and to specify the orientation
It will gives quite regular hexagons/polylines with 7 points.

Look at this discussion to have more tools and tricks

Hexagons on surface : Is there a tool that outputs nice hexagons?

Dear community I tried some plugins to put hexagons on a surface with a seam. I tried lunchbox, ngon. I didn’t try Paneling tool. These tools have problems or the seams (lunchbox, or too much points (polyline with 9 points for ngon plugin), not hexagons at the ends, or too much distorsion … As I need quite nice hexagons I developed a little tool 2 hours work). You just have to put the number of hexagons on a ring and say where is the seam (U or V). [image] Did I miss an existing tool ? M…

[laurent_delrieu]

Today I added on 0.6 version some new tools

Gilbert Tessellation (2D and 3D)

Belousov-zhabotinsky reaction /Stepped Bump on Dual Mesh

SnowFlake growth/Stepped Bump on Dual Mesh

Noise on Mesh

[laurent_delrieu]

I added a 0.7 version.

there is a tool too color the faces of the dual mesh (color at the vertex of the mesh)

A component apply directly the color to the mesh vertices.

Mesh colored is now seen as an output for Reaction Diffusion

Script to do that (licence level 1 needed to get this result)

[laurent_delrieu]

Following these discussions and for a future release (0.8)

How to lay item flat

That actually works really well! Thanks for the suggestion

Convex Hull Orient / Orient geometry by center of gravity

Orient Geometry Convex Hull Face. Hello everyone, In a recent discussion found here, we arrived at a solution to automatically orient geometry on a plane according to its convex hull. Please have a try with the sample gh file I made, and let me know how it works for you or if you encounter any issues with the cluster. Thank you. Requires: MeshEdit Components & Dendro plugins. [image] Convex Hull Orient Example (Shared).gh (12.9 MB)

I made an implementation in my Nautilus plugin of stable positions of a list of objects. In order to work it needs some geometries that are closed (volume and centroid calculation). Using Pack it is possible to see all the stables positions.

Cow is funny, 9 stable positions

I also added a 3d convex hull, not a lot of news except that it accept many type of geometries (point, curve, brep, surface …). This rely on Grasshopper SDK tool GH_convert.ToMesh( …)

As Easter is approaching I added some eggs

Also I add coloring if multiple meshes are outputted

[magicteddy]

@laurent_delrieu

As Easter is approaching

This looks more like it’s Christmas every week with all those new tools to discover !..

[laurent_delrieu]

Most of the tools are old ones that I made to answer some questions.
I have also

• YANG Nodes.
• From Mesh To DualMesh Transition.
• Image knitting.
• MacroWindow(Morpheus).
• Wire bundling
• blur line
• Geodesic wave front
• Roof generator (medial axis)
• Medial axis for shapes with holes
• Growing circles/anemone
• Curve suppress prockets (for tools like CNC)
• Manhattan voronoi
• Some patterns ( Hybycozo style)
• Image thinner
• Interlocked spiral
• and surely some others

And I keep some just for me and some need a licence to work well.

Version 0.8 published
I added my version of Curve Divide Distances (work with linear search), thanks for the interface (wrap), I also implemented yours but it stays on my PC but you could surely make a plugin. Just an advise, separate gha from the tools, so make a library.

How to divide the curve by the varying distance?

Late to the party, I have a Divide Distance Multiple component. [image] magicteddy.gha (78 KB) protected override void SolveInstance(IGH_DataAccess DA) { Curve curve = null; bool wrap = true; List<double> distances = new List<double>(); if (!DA.GetData(0, ref curve)) { return; } if (!DA.GetDataList(1, distances)) { return; } if (!DA…

Mesh Cage morph, useful to use @DanielPiker MeshCageMoprh2

Cage edit command that can adapt to any form automatically

I agree this is a bit of a limitation. I’m using weaverbird mesh offset when some of the points are exactly on the reference mesh… [image]

Quad Mesh groove

Pattern Challenge: Wave-Like Creases

A bit more better, for sure a C# script allows some more robust grooves. It is so simple it must exist in a plugin (mesh+, Pufferfish …) [image] [image] [image] [image] Rapid explanation, understand who can understand I take a quad mesh face and I subdivide it and displace it Lets say alpha is a coefficient that is 0 on point A, and 1 on point B [image] Interpolated points between A and B are calculated with For the number of subdivision i from 0 to n-1 alpha = i/(n-1) point = ptA …

Mesh Quad strip (for also for triangles but not good)

Uniform developable strips in Z direction

Hello I think you will need to make some program (Python, C#). If you need to make some fabrication at the end it is quite mandatory to make program because you’ll have some constrain to take into account. I made some stripper. I get this with your topology (put 100 in this line instead of 10) while (CountNumberOfRowsDone(meshFaceRow) < mesh.Faces.Count && numberOfRow < 10) [image] And with another logic that (not published) [image]

[DanielPiker]

Nice work!
Also - in Rhino 8, as an alternative to MeshCageMorph you could use MorphToMesh to map geometry to the hexagons from your HexagonOnSurface component
