Twisted flower pot. https://www.printables.com/mo Twisted flower pot.

https://www.printables.com/model/399604-twisted-flower-pot
[link in bio]

Just another flower pot. Geometry was created using a parametric model in Rhino/Grasshopper. The model is solid and is intended to be printed in vase/spiral mode. Two versions are included: one is completely closed and the other one has a hole on the bottom.

Dimensions:
diameter at the top: 116mm
diameter at the bottom: 84mm
height: 90mm.

Conway's Game of Life. I got curious if it was Conway's Game of Life.

I got curious if it was possible to recreate "The Game of Life" with the simulation nodes in Blender 3.5.0 alpha. It's a cellular automaton developed by the British mathematician John Conway in 1970. Well, the complicated part with geometry nodes is to get the formulas for neighbour indices correct. That includes an infinite simulation plane, similar to a torus. But after that the fun begins!

2022 stories recap. 2022 stories recap.
Snowflakes with ChatGPT. Just before christmas Snowflakes with ChatGPT.

Just before christmas we wanted to generate some parametric snowflakes for fun in our BT-course. @florian.ghn came up with the idea of generating a script with ChatGPT. The script somehow worked, but the resulting geometry was very simple and far from a snowflake.

I gave it another shot, but this time ChatGPT should only generate coordinates {x, y, 0} for a polyline. This seems to work better, but the shape is still very primitive. In the first picture I added a Koch curve to the description of the shape, which at least makes angles of 60° appear. 

It is actually no wonder that it does not work well, as this is not the purpose of ChatGPT. But it is still fun to experiment with.

Lorenz-Attractor II. The famous attractor again, Lorenz-Attractor II.

The famous attractor again, but this time it is only the path of one particle, instead of a swarm. Utilizing the simulation nodes in Blender 3.5 alpha, this is an ongoing extrusion of a single vertex which gets converted to a curve. A square profile is then applied to the curve. There's also a weight applied to the scale of the profile curve that depends on the distance to the equilibrium points of the Lorenz attractor.

Lorenz-Attractor I. Revisiting the famous Lorenz Lorenz-Attractor I.

Revisiting the famous Lorenz attractor. Blender 3.5 alpha introduces simulation nodes, which makes it way easier to do iterations. The last time I tried this you had to incorporate a py-script to update the position of each point. Now geometry nodes can automatically update your simulation data for each frame. In this animation there are 1.6M points, rendered as point cloud (fast!). I will try this again with rendering the path of a single point.

Art Tower Mito (Arata Isozaki, 1990, Mito/Japan). Art Tower Mito (Arata Isozaki, 1990, Mito/Japan).

The regular geometry of the tower makes it an excellent test-subject for 3d-printed joints. Basically it's just a repetition of tetrahedra which form a helix. The joints are almost identical to each other, there're only special ones at the top and the bottom. The connection between the joints is made of wooden rods (similar to chopsticks) with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of ~8.5 cm. It's just a friction fit, no glue was used. The faces of the tetrahedra are covered with 3d-printed panels. The panels are printed without a top or bottom surface, therefore the pattern is just the triangular infill (3 layers = 1 mm). They're only clipped onto the rods. Overall height of the model is 61 cm.

Geometry was created using Rhino/Grasshopper.

BUGA Wood Pavilion 2019. A short stopover in Heil BUGA Wood Pavilion 2019.

A short stopover in Heilbronn on the way home, after attending SWAA 2022. Wasn't the best time to visit the Wood Pavilion, because obviously the site was about to get dismantled (hence the construction fence, D'oh!). Might see this one again in Mannheim, the Fibre Pavilion was already gone. But I'm always impressed to what point computational methods have brought us. The site is still worth a visit, there's much more to see.

Urbach Tower (Remstal Gartenschau 2019). After at Urbach Tower (Remstal Gartenschau 2019).

After attending SWAA 2022 (Stuttgart Week of Advancing Architecture, Engineering & Construction) I took the opportunity to visit this gem: A beautiful shape in a wonderful landscape. I really like the fabrication process, which was all based on programming the material by exploiting its natural behaviour. Worth a visit.
