RhinoScripts
Rhinoscript connection to OpenOffice Calc
These scripts were written to connect from Rhinoscript and OpenOffice Calc, a spreadsheet program very similar to Microsoft Excel. The biggest difference between the two is that OpenOffice is opensource and free to download and use. This makes it much easier for us to implement spreadsheet based parameterization with clients and students because everyone has [...]
Rhinoscript: Fab PolySurface
Fab PolySrf v.1: Script takes a polysurface (in this case something that has been unrolled but not exploded) and prepares the geometry for fabrication with a laser cutter. Script organizes geometry into separate layers.
Print Parametric Field
Print Parametric Field Script + Sample File The script uses a method to divide the surface and pass the information to a matrix, but in this case we test the curvature of the surface and use that information to generate circles with a radius and orientation based on the Gaussian curvature value and normal direction [...]
Parametric Vector Field
Parametric Vector Field Script + Sample File
The script goes through the surface and evaluates the curvature on each division point, then creates a curve relative to the normal vector on each point of the surface. Curvature values at each evaluation point is considered in order to give length to the curves. The final lines in [...]
Image > Dot Pattern
subCirclePattern.rvb This script uses the RhinoScript GDI Bitmap Extension. In order for this script to work properly, you must download and correctly configure the plugin. The script prompts the user to select an image. Image types supported are JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, EXIF, GIF, ICO, and RLE.
