Hi @jessesn , regarding the first test with the 01_ImageModule script, it works well. [Cattura23456fdggfghgfh.PNG] [Cattura23456fdgg.PNG] [Cattura23456.PNG] [Cattura.PNG] I have two questions: What is guidecurve used for? I tried checking it, but I didn’t really understand what it does. I …

@jessesn In the Brep script, the 2-4 version is working well overall, but I noticed some empty areas in the result. What do you think could be causing this? Could it be related to the input geometry, tolerance settings, or some limitation of the algorithm? 2-4_BrepModule_ciabatta.3dm (4.5 MB) 2-4_…

@jessesn Do you think this inner area, where the pattern converges, can be improved, or is this simply a limiting edge case? ImageModule_CurveAttractor.gh (1.1 MB) sim fillet edge 1 - brv.3dm (12.2 MB) [Cattura23.PNG] [Cattura234.PNG] [image] Simulate Fillet Edge Rhino …

[image] Brv: Do you think this inner area, where the pattern converges, can be improved, or is this simply a limiting edge case? Yes, you are right, this is the limitation of unfolding - we still need to improve how localized bumps are unifromly unfolded. Thank you.

@jessesn do you happen to know of any method to create alpha textures with Rhino, a plug-in, or through Grasshopper? Since I use ZBrush, I know one method, and I remember Blender offers a similar workflow. For example, I create any kind of 3D model, either organic or geometric, and arrange it insid…

[image] Brv: @jessesn do you happen to know of any method to create alpha textures with Rhino, a plug-in, or through Grasshopper? Could you pls give it a try with ShowZBuffer ? Thank you. ShowZBuffer | Rhino 3-D modeling The ShowZBuffer command toggles the display of a grayscale…

@jessesn Ohhh, this definitely belongs in Rhino’s collection of hidden commands. @Rhino_Bulgaria There isn’t even a dedicated icon for it, and it doesn’t appear in either the rendering or display command categories. Please make sure it doesn’t remain hidden; I’ve been using alternative methods for y…

@jessesn Question: what am I doing wrong here? In ShowZBuffer it says that I can capture the alpha texture using the command: “The ViewCaptureToFile and ViewCaptureToClipboard commands can be used to capture the contents of ShowZBuffer.” However, when I switch to the Top view, I can’t see the m…

@jessesn If I want to distribute a single repeating mesh cell over an object while maintaining a 1:1 scale with the original along the surface, is it possible to do that? [regerge.PNG] esagoni-zbuffer_alpha texture.gh (29.1 KB) The single cell I made manually is repeatable, but it doesn’t work …
