Vimeo

Vimeo is a file-sharing website that does pretty much the same things as Youtube (now belonging to Google), Dailymotion (from France) and Google video (obviously in Mountain View, California).
Everyone of them, though, tries to attract a different audience. Vimeo’s (based in NY) target group has a focus on creative people. Of this community, I particularly like the fair behaviour and the nice and intelligent commenting. So I thought I would upload some of my videos there, from now on. See here http://vimeo.com/giulio/likes if I added your video to my likes.

Librarian nightmare & dream

In the last couple of days I have been messing around with the physical library for games called Jbullet and the cool rendering engine P5Sunflow. Boxes are now an easy thing to play with in Processing. (But you can try more shapes, too!)

Interactive landscape tool – behind the scene

Finally, with the release of Processing 1.0, it is possible to run online the Interactive and Landscape Tool as an applet. For this occasion, I thought it would be nice to also open the source code. Explore the Interactive and Landscape Tool

Freeform Rhino workshop, Tilburg

These slides constitute the Rhino day-one (crash) course that was used to teach students at the Fontys Academy of Architecture in Tilburg. They are meant to be for oral presentation and therefore lack the accompanying text. I hope, still, that they might be useful if you need to revise your Rhinoceros skills – or refresh command lists.

Posting code online

I think that it is absolutely necessary and beautiful to post one’s code online, especially the code that was used to obtain bigger projects. Therefore, I will be busy posting online quite a bit of code that I recently (or less) wrote. Would be nice to know if you found the code useful, or to see your projects.

I wrote myself, for example, to David Rutten, who has been a good source of understanding for Rhinoscripts. I thanked him for sharing his code.

Curves continuity

This diagram shows how to work with continuity among surfaces, curves and lines. Position, tangency, curvature radius and derivatives are used to graphically explain G0, G1 and G2 More…

Bézienne

Bézienne is a small webpage - born as a game - that allows you to play with a canvas. On it, you can sketch a vector drawing and, as a result, see the living processing code that forms these shapes. You can also go in the other direction: changing the code and seeing the results...

Sakura, flowers

Our last effort, at teamoptionexplicit, is to generate surfaces/components from a mesh. If you use the script we provide, you can just select a triangular mesh and you'll obtain a lot of petals. Rendered with sky
