3.1. Anemone

3.1.11. Panel Spreader (2)

Date published: November 24, 2022

DESCRIPTION
This exercise spreads panels with different length in a limited area to minimise material waste. Different from the conceptual exercise, with the use of anemone, distance left behind can be calculated every time the previous panel had found its position, automatically jump to next row if no space available, hence no more panel exceed the boundary.

This exercise is using Grasshopper version 1.0.0007

10. Generic Puzzle Maker

3.1.10. generic puzzle maker

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This conceptual exercise allows you to convert a field of tiles into a field of interlocking puzzle pieces. Using the add-on “Anemone”, it does this by iteratively looping through all the tile edges and splitting them into “male” or “female” groups. If an edge has not been evaluated yet, it becomes “male”; if not, “female”. Here the puzzle edge is created by copying interpolation curve control vertexes either in- or outwards.

09. Fractal Mesh

3.1.09. fractal mesh

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This exercise subdivides a triangular mesh following two-dimensional fractal subdivision logics. Conditional statements can be added to create more diverse geometrical patterns

08. Crowd Behaviour

3.1.08. crowd behaviour

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

Craig Reynolds created a computer model in 1986 that coordinated animal- like motion such as bird flocks and fish schools. The generic simulated flocking creatures, the “boids” followed three simple steering behaviours which describe how an individual boid would manoeuvre, based on the positions and velocities of flock mates within its vicinity. This definition uses HoopSnake to define the behaviour of a series of vectors (boids) that follow the same three rules.

PROCEDURE

1. Separation: steer to avoid crowding local flock mates.
2. Alignment: steer toward the average heading of local flock mates.
3. Cohesion: steer to move toward the average position of local flock mates.

07. Downhill Flow (Mesh)

3.1.07. downhill flow (mesh)

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This exercise does the same, but for meshes instead of NURBS surfaces. It allows you to select a random point set or all mesh vertices as starting point for the downhill flow analysis.

06. Downhill Flow (NURBS)

3.1.06. downhill flow (nurbs)

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This exercise uses Anemone and the record button to visualise the water flow direction and speed on a generic surface. Note that the cross product of two vectors gives a vector perpendicular to both. By taking the cross product of the Normal vector and the Z-vector we get a horizontal vector. By then taking the cross product of the normal vector and this horizontal vector we get the one that points downwards

05. Connect Farthest Points

3.1.05. connect farthest points

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This exercise shows how output data can be joined with the initial input data to generate cumulative effects, e.g. the densification of a Voronoi pattern

04. Incremental Voronoi

3.1.04. incremental voronoi

Date published: August 23, 2022

DESCRIPTION

This exercise starts from a random point cloud, connects the 2 points farthest away and keeps doing so until all points are depleted. For this, the recursive data is stored in 2 paths: {0} with the remaining points and {1} with the drawn curves. Used points in path {0} are removed with every iteration and the newly drawn curves from those points are added to path {1}.

03. Fractals

3.1.03. fractals

Date published: August 23, 2022

PROCEDURE

1. Break up a polyline into its subcurves and use that as a starting value for Anemone
2. Divide each input-curve into 3 parts. Add a 4th point by rotating the end point around the 3rd point according to a specific angle parameter. Then draw lines through all 4 points.
3. Use the newly generated lines as input data for the following iteration
4. Test whether the amount of lines created supersedes a predefined parameter.
5. Connect this boolean value as a “stopper”, creating a while loop (= do something “as long as” / “while” a predetermined condition has not been reached).
