JimDavies Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi all, I have been trying recently to make some large panels that would have some organic looking shape. Apparently they are very popular in the architectural community. I have been told that you achieve something like this with Voronoi algorithms ??? Any ideas on that one? I know this is vague. I will try to upload some photos. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEANT Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Look into this free plug-in for Rhino: http://wiki.mcneel.com/labs/panelingtools This plug-in allows all the preliminary modeling to be done with NURB surfaces, thus benefiting from the Rhino toolset. Once the model is finalized then the plug-in can be employed to subdivide the surfaces for fabrication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDavies Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thank you Seant, I have found something else while I was googling I will download some pictures and post again. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimDavies Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 While I was looking for Voronoi parts I found this site that sells panels that I need. http://www.engrave3d.com/shop/category_7/Panels---Textures.html?shop_param=cid%3D%26 I will get some from them for now until I will apply the solution that I came across below There is a product called Grasshopper that automates Rhino commands and it produces these kind of surfaces. I think http://www.engrave3d.com made these surfaces this way. I have seen similar results in the Grasshopper site. Jim PS Sorry I could not find how to attach pictures but you get the idea I think.
