Whether you want to experiment with halftone frit patterns or generate organic vector shapes for CNC laser-cutting, CNC milling and 3D Printing. The options are endless. Scriptographer is a scripting plugin for Adobe Illustrator. It gives the user the possibility to extend Illustrator’s functionality by the use of the JavaScript language. The user is no [...]
Ted Ngai has posted many interesting RhinoScript and Grasshopper examples on his blog atelier nGai. Especially worth mentioning are two tutorials that experiment with a generative approach using Ecotect solar simulation data to drive the creation of geometry in Rhino. In this instance solar access data was used to determine the size of skylights in [...]
See how the open source software Topmod could be integrated with Revit into your schematic design toolbox on the Everything Autodesk Revit & BIM blog. TopMod3d is a free, open source, portable, platform independent topological mesh modeling system that allows users to create high genus 2-manifold (watertight) meshes. While we have seen people do similar [...]
ParaCloud released version 1.0 of GEM, a simple to use design tool for components population. The software is able to populate mesh components over design models resulting in compex 3D models (e.g. a facade or a roof structure). ParaCloud Gem works with SketchUP Pro, TopMod, Rhino3D, Cinema 4D, 3DS Max, Maya, AutoCAD or any 3D [...]
