Would anyone know how to make something similar to this using grasshopper? I tried manually modelling but it just isn’t working out how I would like it. I’m new to GH and I found a similar thread on creating a ripple effect. [image] How to add decay to self interfering ripples ! Hey guy…

Here’s a version that lets you input specific locations and the iteration number for each at which it drops. dropsequence.gh (16.8 KB)

Thank you so much for the definition you shared - in return i have a small contribution : After a few hours searching how to add a time shift to the math function, I came up with the lazyest possible idea. [2022-07-07 16_34_13-Grasshopper - ripples experiments_] (I just tested it on a simplified…

Hey Daniel, your work here is amazing. As always. When trying to open this last GH file, it seems to miss a library: [image] Would you have a trusted source where to obtain it? Many many many thanks :heart:

Ah, sorry about that- looks like I accidentally left in a reference from a different project. It isn’t actually used in the code and the line can be deleted. dropsequence.gh (18.8 KB)

Thanks so much for getting back. I downloaded the new attachment twice, but it’s still coming up with the exact same error message. Maybe it’s still addressed somewhere else in the code? Would be so nice to use this :pray: Curiously when you press “Cancel” on that message, Rhino completely freeze…

ah, my mistake again - I had removed the ‘using’ statement in the code, but not the assembly reference in the component :man_facepalming:. Try this one dropsequence2.gh (21.9 KB) (though if it was freezing before when you dismissed the warning message, I expect it would still freeze for you here,…

Oh wow it works now, and it’s incredible!! I see the 100 points you generated. I’ll try to work out if I can change it so that my point cloud drops into water all at the same time. Sadly I have 650 pts for one big image of interference waves :laughing: but I hope it’s still possible. The time fact…

To have them drop at the same time, just connect a single value to the ‘x’ input of the script instead of a list. For 650 points hitting at once, you’d probably need a very dense grid though, which could get slow. As I mentioned above - this way with 3d forces is an inefficient way of doing things…

I am so grateful for this whole thread!! I’ve been experimenting with ripples at specific points using @DanielPiker 's dropsequence.gh; as I began increasing the density of the mesh (trying to get small detailed ripples as though from very small rain drops) I noticed an interesting phenomenon where…

Hi @shisanwu I hadn’t noticed that artefact before. Interesting that it doesn’t show up at lower resolutions. Looks like it’s caused by how the smoothing interacts with the square grid. One alternative approach without additional coding is to triangulate the quads and use the Soapfilm goal instead…

Hello
what you show is not really Ripple/Raindrop
you could look at that
