Concrete Form[ing]work workshop University of Malaga December 2020
This is a Grasshopper 3D and Rhino file generated for the online Masters student workshop.
These files can be used to generate arrow smocking patterns from a series of input surfaces.
A few surfaces are provided but feel free to try your own! Note that higher tessellations will be quite heavy for laptops.
You may also need to download some grasshopper plugins to open the file.
The script sections are split with vertical lines.
The file has multiple Kangaroo 2 solvers in it, and it is important to run each solver before moving onto the next.
Items grouped in CYAN are meant for previewing, components in RED are meant for user-interaction/input (play button on a solver, adjustment of sliders, etc.)
Try it out, and happy smocking!
