Differential Growth

June 16, 2025

Differential growth is a process where different parts of a structure grow at different rates, leading to complex forms. After watching this, I decided to try it in Grasshopper. Here, differential growth mimics this behavior by applying rules such as Repulsion to avoid crowding or…

In 1986, Craig Reynolds developed an algorithm aiming to model the flocking behavior of birds, which remains a cult method used in flock simulations today. In my initial study, the bird-oids (boids) have no rules or limitations, just chilling randomly on the screen. I call…

Solar Position

May 6, 2012

Experimenting with various plug-ins for solar calculations, I found Daniel Da Rocha’s robust implementation of the solar position algorithm in vb.net. It calculates the solar angle of any place and time. Although it’s written in the old vb.net component, it still works great. I’m trying…
