C# on Grasshopper
Grasshopper is a visual programming language extension for Rhino, a 3D modeling software widely used in architecture. Architects and designers can use Grasshopper to create parametric models and design workflows using a graphical interface, which simplifies the manipulation and experimentation with complex geometries.
C# is a programming language that can be used to create custom components in Grasshopper. With C#, architects can extend Grasshopper’s functionality and create their own tools for modeling, analysis, and optimization. For example, architects can write C# scripts to automate repetitive tasks, create complex geometric forms, and analyze design performance.
Together, Grasshopper and C# provide architects with a powerful and flexible design toolset that can improve their design process, increase efficiency, and enable them to create more innovative and optimized designs.
Wave Function Collapse
I contributed Yungh by writing Grasshopper scripts in C#. The Wave Function Collapse algorithm generates rhythmic patterns based on a set of rules. This algorithm has various applications, such as creating game maps, architectural designs, and images.
Marching Cubes
Additionally, I used the Marching Cubes algorithm to resample the model based on specific parameters and reduce its vertex count, which could be helpful for rebuilding models or generating stylized architectures.
Quadrilateral Grids
Quadrilateral Grids can generate segmented quadrilateral meshes based on point clouds, which are useful for urban planning and street generation in games.
Polar Convexity
Polar Convexity can create divergent rays from one point, which can be used to analyze the lighting effects and spatial layout of buildings.
Medial Skeleton, Straight Skeleton & Erosion
Lastly, Medial Axis, Skeleton, and Erosion are plugins that create suitable building ridges based on different curves.
All of these tools are part of the Yungh open-source project and are designed to increase efficiency and reduce repetitive tasks for architects. The code is available on GitHub.
