090627 – grasshopper workshop in Santiago, Chile. (parametrica.org)

eSCRIPT-O is now member of PARAMETRICA a recently founded design research group from Chile, and as PARAMETRICA, we area going to make a super hiper workshop of grasshopper!!. follow the link for info.

090622- surface panelization from gaussian curvature- (buggy WIP)

Another old work scripted in rhinosript. the script divides the surface into wuadpanels according to the gaussian curvature.

090517 – VB scripting in grasshopper – early tests

I´m going nuts… rhinoscript, Digital Project/catia with VBA, Melscript, Maxscript and now…. im into a real obsession with scripting in grasshopper. it´s a lot of info, and i dont have the time to get into all. my head hurts, but im still trying to do some stuff into this tricky world of vb.net..

Some early results, once u get used to all the sintax, u can really fly.currently im into really conventional and boring stuff ( a common diagrid), but wait for more interesting results. (i need an core i7 or phenom II cpu!!!!!! and lots and lots of RAM) … and a quadro VGA

090515 – maxscript solar tool (WIP)

currently working in a solar analisis script for 3ds max. basically the script make an analysis of a surface (or a solid) and calculates the solar incidence (the script ask for the resolution /subdivisions of the grid).

thanks to rodrigo culagovski (culagovski.net) , for the help.

i have to work onthe algorithm for the color of the panel. but i think in the next days i will be able to fix it.

more to come…… stay tuned to escripto.

090427 – acoustic ceiling project

Project: acoustic Ceiling

design : D. Pinochet + “art & science” class :  Arturo Torres + P. Gonzalez

Analisis and design adjusments: Diego Pinochet (early tests) -  Constanza jorquera (final tests)

Executive project and Construction: Arturo Torres – Paloma Gonzalez – Constanza Jorquera

This is an old project (january – march 2008 ) , for the PUC. it´s and acoustic ceiling made of plasterboard. the objective of this work , was to develop new possibillities fdor the plasterboard material , according to deformations, specially the double curvature of the each panel.

090427- hexatect (WIP) – Digital Project

Some hexatect (hexagon skin + ecotect analisis) stuff, now in digital project. The information from the txt file (analisis data from ecotect), works really great.

Really like Digital Project/catia, for real parametric design. the scripting replication of parametric componentes in a surface by vba, represent a great tool for customized architecture.

090426 – Flat Hexagon Skin -digital project

This is the hexagon system i´ve been working since last year, now, scripted and modelled in Digital Project.

All the hexagons are flat.

hexatect in digital project coming soon!!….

090425- Digital project – parametric surface

This is an exercise made in the Digital Project (gehry technologies) workshop  dictated by arturo Lyon. The exercise was about  modelling a parametric component for it´s replication into a surface by scripted powercopies (vba).

090418 – back to basics 2 – Multi Attractors in Maxscript

the last script, now working with multiple inputs.

090418 – back to basics – attractors in maxscript

Here is one  simple script written in max script.

– create an empy array named a

a=#()

– the force (attractor)
ori= $atr.pos

–iteration loop
for i = 1 to 12 do (
a[i]=#()
for j = 1 to 12 do (
a[i][j]=#()

for k = 1 to 12 do (

– create the boxes

a[i][j][k]=box pos:[i,j,k] width:1 length:1 height:1
)
)
)
