Discrete Textiles

Inspired by the work of Elisa Strozyk, I wrote a script, that imposes a specific length to all edges of a given mesh. For triangulated input meshes, this results in equilateral triangles as faces. Download the python script for Rhino here.

The final geometry is a discrete representation of a crumpled developable surface, if the mesh is consisting only of nodes with the valence of six and of triangular faces. More digitally crumpled surfaces by Tamahiro Tachi on flickr.

Hi Lorenz, looks very interesting! Would love to check out the source, however the download link appears to be broken..

Hi Anders, I just fixed the link. Best, Lorenz.

Thanks Lorenz, much appreciated. I have recently started using Python in Rhino. Examples such as the one you have posted here are a great resource for learning. So thanks again. Best, Anders

Hi Lorenz,
what Imputs are needed? Do I need a mesh from rhino or from grasshopper? When I copy the content to the Pyton-editor I get following Errormessage by testing the script:

Runtime error (NotImplementedException): Die Methode oder der Vorgang sind nicht implementiert.
Traceback:
line 293, in GetObjects, "C:\Users\Simon\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\5.0\Plug-ins\IronPython (814d908a-e25c-493d-97e9-ee3861957f49)\settings\lib\rhinoscript\selection.py"
line 9, in Crumple, ""
line 72, in script


What am I doing wrong?

Hi Simon,

I cannot reproduce your error, it should work with all meshes from rhino (with not too many faces). It works with my Rhino 5 version. Maybe reset your script engine -> Tools -> Reset Script Engine, and Enable Frames in tools -> Options -> Script Engine, and then restart Rhino. Best, Lorenz.
