This is the work of Laurent Delrieu and I want to learn to make something like this

Agate (Nervous style)

Copycatting NERVOUS work on Agate. [20200506_03] I already tried but it was not similar. Now it seems more similar, mainly because I studied how to use Clipper as a DLL in Grasshopper. http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper/documentation/Docs/Overview/_Body.htm [20200405_agate_4] [20200405_agate_3] [20200405_agate_2] [agate_1] And this could give a puzzle like that. I used my mesh clustering and my MultipleMeshes Catmull&Clark subdivision 100 pieces (shape triangulated) [image] 200 piece…

I have no experience with coding. I recently started using Rhino and grasshopper and I love it. Still figuring out the basics. Can anyone please tell me what languages do I need to learn to make something like this?

Hi,

This is based on mesh clustering. @laurent_delrieu have already provided enough information here in new forum and in old too about this. If I’m not wrong, he used C# coding and grasshopper for these. You can’t request him for the plugin or code as he already mentioned its for his personal use not for public sharing. But he is also an active member here in this forum he can provide you more insights about this more than me on this for sure if he look at this thread.

Since you recently started learning Rhino n GH first figure out all basics and move to the next level. Starting directly at this is not a good idea/move. Definitely I’m not demotivating you just a free advice. Good-luck.

Mesh clustering

Here are some news on Mesh Clustering. I implemented a “Multi Material” Catmull & Clark subdivision. Each face of the mesh has a material (an index here). The problem with “classical” Catmull & Clark subdivision is that it leaves some spaces near places where there are 3 frontiers.

Hello
there are many techniques for the puzzle here

1. Agate generation : It is a simple offset of curve then coloring. You’ll need to use Clipper in a code to generate the dots. You can code in Delphi or C# inside Grasshopper. See documentation here
   http://www.angusj.com/delphi/clipper/documentation/Docs/Units/ClipperLib/Classes/ClipperOffset/_Body.htm
   Nervous is using also Clipper.

For the clustering there are many techniques. See Nervous and link provided by @ajarindia

For the smoothing of the pieces it is also explained on links provided.

Take time, it is quite long to implement all techniques.
