A simple Rhino Python script that generates fractal curves. An example is a test with the Gosper-Peano curve. However the script is not supporting segment directions, which is why the result is not the intended curve. Curve directions could be implemented in the future. # Drawing Simple Fractal Curves # 31.07.2017 www.designcoding.net – Tugrul Yazar import rhinoscriptsyntax as rs import copy initials = rs.GetObject(“Select Initial Shape”,4) referenceA = rs.GetPoint(“Place Reference […]

Studied earlier in Grasshopper here, the sunflower spiral or Phyllotaxis, or Fibonacci’s spiral could be drawn as an exercise of looping in Rhino Python. According to ChatGPT: Phyllotaxis is the arrangement or patterning of leaves, flowers, or other plant parts around a stem or axis. Thus, it refers to the specific geometric arrangement of these structures in plants. The term “phyllotaxis” comes from the Greek words “phyllon” (meaning “leaf”) and […]
This was the Design Mathematics exercise today. I found a simple algorithm that creates the desired polyline of the given points. In the first lines, variables are defined. We find the first element of the set we are looking for. The leftmost point in the given point set must be the first element of the convex hull. Next, in the While loop, we start with the first point and iterate […]
Boris Nikolayevich Delaunay was a Russian mathematician and mountain climber. He developed the Delaunay triangulation, which is a method in computational geometry. It is a triangulation of a set of points such that no point is inside the circumcircle of any triangle formed by the points. It’s widely used in computer graphics and mesh generation. In 2013, I made the brute force code in Rhino Python which is a slow […]
Exercising the “folding” process of a nine-faced solid. Start from its net, and analyze the matching edges. Then, use sphere intersections to calculate the rotation angles. Visit here for more information about this solid: http://aperiodical.com/2013/10/an-enneahedron-for-herschel/
This python code proves how much effort it takes to create a simple hexagonal tessellation. There are, of course, much easier and faster methods than this. But here you see a code that introduces students to Rhino Python. Using this code, a new Rhino command can be generated, and for the first time in Rhino, we can have a command that creates a hexagonal grid. I followed this tutorial to […]
