091105_SHOW ME THE CODE!! pythomata (cellular automata in python)

this is the code for the cellular automatta posted before (rhitomata), but now for it´s aplication in maya (python).

so , here´s the code.

you can visit http://digifab.wordpress.com for the MEL code.

090829 – Acoustic ceiling project + Parametrica on the TV (chile)

Ou yeah man, acoustic ceiling project and the members of parametrica.org, rockin´ the national tv news!!!!, showing some grasshopper and parametric stuff..

090731- SHOW ME THE CODE!!!-(RVB) – automatic unroll

This is another fabrication tool that i wrote almost two years ago for my thesis. So… let´s show the code!!!!

This tool was developed for the automated process of unrolling planar surfaces for fabrication via laser cut or cnc cut. It allows the user to select the surfaces of the model (or polysrf) and make an array of contours with an ID, in the model and the array (for further assembly help). I wrote it for the ribber tool, and added to the MAB FPS and exatect structure scripts.

It´s a very simple, but powerfull tool ,i hope you use it , and again , do whatever the f#$#cK u want. but remember to name the real author of the script.

Video showing the script running, (in spanish).

stay tuned for more SHOW ME THE CODE!!! in escripto…

090730 -SHOW ME THE CODE!!!! (RVB) – attractor function

OK, lets show the code!!!..

Function esfera (attr,k,mval,pa,pb,pc,pd,scale,i)

	Dim face
	Dim center
	Dim dist
	Dim esf
	Dim color
	face= rhino.addsrfpt (array(pa,pb,pc,pd))
	center= rhino.SurfaceAreaCentroid(face)

	ReDim dist (ubound(attr))
	Dim ptatr():ReDim ptatr (ubound(attr))

	For k=0 To ubound(attr)
		ptatr(k)= rhino.pointcoordinates(attr(k))
		dist(k)=rhino.Distance(ptatr(k),center(0))
	Next

	mval= rhino.min (dist)
	rhino.Print mval
	esf= rhino.AddSphere (center(0),(mval/scale))
	rhino.ObjectColor esf,rgb(255,i+(mval*5),133)
	rhino.ObjectColor face,rgb(255,i+(mval*5),133)

End Function

According to the recently attactor «fashion/porn» in the digital age (mainly grasshopper), i´m showing one of my first scripts in rhinoscript (2006). it’s an attractor function. Use, do wathever the f#$K!! you want with this function.

this was the core of my MAB-FPS code (https://escripto.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/080630_mab-fps-multi-attractor-based-flat-panel-skin/), a nice script for my thesis.

090717-playing with the power of python (MAYA)

Yesterday i started to play some hours with mel , but i remembered the recomendations of rodrigo culagovski (www.culagovski.net – http://www.parametrica.org) about the benefits and advantages of python. So, i stopped with mel and put my hands into python.

090711-parametric bridge – Thesis Final project-

Some images from my final project for my master degree thesis. its a parametric bridge with a parametric skin – (hexatect). All the project it´s defined by scripting (rhinoscript) and some specific grasshopper definitions (vb.net) .

acoustic ceiling project – old render stuff (in construction)

Project: acoustic Ceiling

design : D. Pinochet + Arturo Torres + P. Gonzalez

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

Exevutive 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.

090109-some hexatect renders… old stuff

some old renders of the hexatext system.

090108- the hexatect(hexagon mesh + ecotect) WIP – (Work in progress)- early tests

Here are some images of the hexagon system that im working, this is the skin reactive to insolation (radiation expressed in Watts/hr), the script takes the value from excel and asign it to the aperture parameter of each cell of the skin. so far its working great. some images here.

010609 – working on the assemblage of the parts…

Im working on the new component for the assemblage of the structure. I think this desing it´s much better than a simple triangle… the system still works amazingly good.
