The sdf/voxel editor/renderer can now do basic sims!! The user builds the sim program, deciding what should happen in each little time step and the solver chugs along on the gpu. Since everything is on the gpu, built with the voxel system, there are no load times etc :) Currently only tried fluids/smoke, but it should be able to do sound/heat aswell :)) Will add FEA functionality aswell. It will be able to couple many different modes, for example fluid + heat - lava lamps!!!!

For some reason I cannot for the life of me think of how to wrap a spiral around this to make a candy cane stripe? I'm sure there is an easy way to do this. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm stuck on something that feels like it should be simple. I've got a line/curve I'm moving around with the Gumball, and what I want is to raise it so it lands at the exact same height (Z) as another point/corner somewhere else in my model, I don't care about matching X or Y, just the height.

I remember doing this before with Osnap's "Project" option turned on, dragging the Gumball's Z arrow and hovering near the target point so it would snap the height over, but for some reason I can't get it to lock on anymore. I've got End, Point, Vertex and Project all checked in Osnap, and I even see a dotted tracking line show up sometimes, but it never actually grabs the point the way I remember it doing before.

To make things worse, my computer got formatted recently and I lost my entire old Rhino setup/settings, so I'm not sure if this is a config thing I had tweaked before and forgot about, or if I'm just doing something wrong. Does anyone here know how to fix it, or knows what settings I might be missing?

I tried using perlin noise and then cutting contours , I get the random contours but i dont any idea how to get the droopy surface

Part of a city I am designing

I wanted to share a Rhino technique I use a lot in jewelry design.

In this tutorial, I use Surface from Network of Curves / NetworkSrf to create very different ring forms from the same basic approach — from a simple ring to a much more organic design.

The idea is not to copy one specific model, but to understand the technique and reuse it in your own designs.

Started out trying to recreate a bryozoan (moss animal) fossil in Grasshopper, and wound up with this structure. Rendered in Blender.

I’m doing an installation for a local art show and I want to make something like this. I’m fairly new to grasshopper (took a digital fabrication course in design school and learned the basics) so I’m wondering the best way to go about this. My initial instinct is create the blob form, use lunchbox to do a sort of panel situation, then subdivide and unroll? Is there a way to make the blob using SubD and then manipulate that within grasshopper? Am I way off? Please help me, grasshopper gods!!

I wanted to share a simple workflow I use for creating more organic jewelry forms.

The basic shape is created in Rhino, then I use just a few simple tools in Blender to add the organic detail. The idea is specifically for Rhino users who have little or no experience with Blender or sculpting software.

You don’t need to learn the whole Blender workflow — just a few useful tools can make a big difference.

Hello, if you have advice or methods to do this job - i'm still here to listen. i'm learning rhino with project as this one - rebuild Chartres Cathedral from France.

Hey all

I've been building this for the past year and just released it on Package Manager and food4rhino: Slicelab Tools. It's a GH plugin for Rhino 8. It's free, open source (AGPL), and runs on both macOS (Apple Silicon native) and Windows.

It started because I do a lot of 3D printing work and kept hitting the same walls: no good way to generate tetrahedral lattices without leaving Grasshopper or only on Windows with very limited tools, and no PDF layout at all on Mac. So I built the tools I wanted:

• Tetrahedralize + 10 lattice generators: turn any closed mesh into tetrahedra, then swap between 10 lattice topologies (vertex/midpoint/face-center networks, edge lattices, Voronoi dual). Pipe the struts into Dendro for a printable volume.
• Adaptive TriRemesh: triangular remesh with feature curves/points embedded in the output topology + attractor-driven density
• Mesh Operations: Manifold mesh booleans, plus repair/refine/decimate nodes
• PDF layout: composable multi-page documents (nothing fancy) straight from GH (text, images, Make2D linework, viewport captures). Mac users: this one's for you.
• Export: fast binary STL, 3MF with metadata, GLB with Draco compression

Install: Rhino 8 Package Manager → search SlicelabTools. (Windows: Rhino needs the NETCore runtime — run SetDotNetRuntime, pick NETCore, restart.)

I'm the author, happy to answer anything. If you try it and something breaks, please let me know, this is one of the main reasons for posting it here.

Thanks

A year ago we've had a similar session when I still lead Computational Design at HLA: https://www.reddit.com/r/rhino/comments/1labw9h/i_lead_the_computational_design_team_at_henning/

Since, we've launched https://jifto.com/ which runs interactive sustainability assessments directly in Rhino. Built for architects, it encourages exploration in early design stages when massing changes often.

It's been an incredible ride so far and I'm happy to share what I've learned along the way.

I'm having issues with Make2D and I can't get it to have good lines. How can I get a display mode to look like the image above?

Hello! I wanted to ask if anyone has an idea how to make voussoir cloud by IwamotoScott Architects.

I guess i want to focus more on the shape of the pavilion and how to get that triangular patterns, as well as where I should start. Not wanting an exact copy, but something close enough.

Thanks!

recently made this Infinity Ring in Rhino and recorded the workflow.

I tried to keep the process simple and focused on techniques that can also be reused in other ring designs.

I’d also be interested to know how you would approach this shape in Rhino.
