Ripple complex

[Morris-gh (Morrygamer)]

Hi, greetings
I’m trying to make a surface with several ripple effects, i made a script and result isn’t so bad. I think there’s two things that need to change.
first: adding decay to waves
second: controlling wave height in each points
I will appreciate if you help me in this project.
thank you for helping.

Ripple/Raindrop Pattern

Nice elegant definition @maje90 I was inspired to have a play with an iterative version using Kangaroo- Using springs instead of Laplacian smoothing gives a slightly different effect, with more isolated waves- surface_ripples_kangaroo.gh (12.0 KB) Doing it with only existing goals this simulation ends up doing a lot of unnecessary work - since it is calculating all the 3d forces and then restraining them to be only vertical, when all that really needs to be updated is a …

WOW, you excited me.
Thanks for sharing script, it gives a whole different result but its awesome.
I keep playing with it.

Adding Points to Ripple

“radial rectangles” - Again, no change to the core algorithm, just a different way of generating rectangles arrayed in a circle, to use as input for the rippled surface/solid “machine”. ripples_2019Jun08d.gh (62.2 KB) [ripples_2019Jun08c] [ripples_2019Jun08c] [ripples_2019Jun08c2] [ripples_2019Jun08b5] Same code, different list of rectangles (below) from “radial rectangles” group. These are ~3" X 16" along an arc of radius 36", using the same ripple points and wave forms as before. [ri…

Hi,

Not sure this is helpful to you or not?

Free Grasshopper Definition (GH file): Circular Waves from 2 Points

The Gh is on the Youtube page. You can add more ripple points by copying an existing section.
Its in mesh… so if you want to convert to NURBs, you might need to add a Quadremesh component.

Thanks for the script.
It’s awesome, I made my desired model by using your script and i’m happy with it.

Hi there, It was really helpful however can you provide me the algorithm for this attached photo facade panel to draw in rhino.

Hello @Prince_Patel
the link you provide could surely be simulated using some ocean shader/texture

Ocean Wave Generation in Rhino

Dear Rhino Users and Developers, from some time I am thinking about best methods for generation of quite realistic ocean waves in Rhino, or outside of it. We have displacement and we have bump for rendering effects which both used wisely can generate nice results. However in Blender for example there is implemented open source Houdini Ocean Toolkit, which I believe really can provide better quality, and is adding some animation capacilities.
