Computational Design in Blender - Melting Curves

[@ant1fact]

dude!!! this is the single most advanced technique I've seen in Blender.. keep rocking!

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Thanks ant1fact !

[@woodlandcritterpunch]

Coming from Houdini as my only previous 3d graphics experience I've been a bit underwhelmed by a lot of approaches to abstract design in Blender so far. Your techniques, however, are making it clear to me that there's more possilities than I was previously lead to believe. I hope you make more videos like this, I really love them.

[@DrFriesOfficial]

This is such an interesting approach and the fact that it comes out with 0 non manifolds is just the damn cherry on top...And naturally, I had to subscribe...Bravissimo!!!

[@grinsegold]

modelling with particle paths - goosebumps! Bravo, Alessandro!

[@khalatelomara]

😳 !!!! That's Extremely Advanced !

[@salaivv]

Genius idea! I ve always tried to take a few splines curves, converted them to mesh and tried boolean union on them to get such an output. But never really got satisfactory results. This is just amazing.

[@insaisissable3938]

I tried this and it definitely works in Blender 2.81. Thank you for sharing! You Sir, really rock!

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Actually you can skip the fluid part using the new voxel remesher

@@AlessandroZomparelli Hi, I am new to blender but i am trying to use this workflow to create some architectural columns for my project. I am using blender 2.8 and this video was done in an earlier version. I am having trouble making the path separate between the bottom plane into the smaller planes above and back into the on plane at the top. My path relationship connects all planes individually :(. Is there a written version of this tutorial i can follow ? please help. Thank you.

[@melihcanisikli]

Hey i have a question,, im tryng it with 2.81 but when i add the second plane as RELATION(you can see it at 1.19sec. ) i see INVALID TARGET! error any idea to help me please ?

[@mke344]

@@melihcanisikli be sure the other plane have a particle system

[@DogfishHeadcrab]

Just watched your presentation from Blender Conference 2019 and this pops up in my recommendation. First two minutes - mind blown! Thanks for sharing, keep up the amazing work!

[@RyanDB]

This is a really clever use of the available tools, and I'm definitely stealing it

[@imdone8243]

Like a true artist!! Me as well （╯ ͡° ▽ ͡°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[@nekok4191]

This video is a gift that keeps giving!

[@HappyHasib]

Wow thats so creative! you can do so much creative design or use it in a mecha arm character and so on. SO FREKKEN HYPED to try it too!

[@lucyfaire1980]

I had no idea you could do this in Blender. Thanks so much!

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Never underestimate Blender! :-P

[@lucyfaire1980]

I'm starting to learn that!

[@justinarchiquette7591]

Awesome organic shapes!!

[@ccmcgaugh]

So creative! Thanks for sharing & creating this very helpful tutorial! 👍😜👍

[@robelicit]

Excellent, it's great to know that blender's physics is at such a sophisticated level... Yes, printing these types of structures seems like an amazing way to experiment with output :: *if you print any of these, make sure to post the results.* Good work !

[@loki0841]

Genius modeling method! You're awesome!

[@ironbeton666]

Man, that’s great !

[@FlowerPowa74]

Interesting process, thanks for sharing!

[@brothermechanic]

Fluid?)))))) The genius is simple!

[@melihcanisikli]

i told you before but, you are fucking amazing Alessandro :)

[@GIANNIANER]

amazing :)

[@Nebulaoblivion]

Cool technique. You should check out the latest sculpt branch of blender 2.8. It has a nice voxel remesher.

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Yes, I've tried it and it's awesome :-D Can't wait to have it official

[@PermanentlyPregnant]

Woah super creative way to this solution. Thanks.

[@1DInciner]

Looking nice)

[@emmanuelbarretto7057]

the convert button is no longer there in the modifier particles stack what should I do ?

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

Why does that look like something out of H R Giger? ;)

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Lawrence D’Oliveiro I'll consider that as a compliment :-)

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

You have definitely given me some ideas about new ways to use particle systems.

Superb ! Thanks a lot ! ;)

[@naitiksharma9728]

Hello, @AlessandroZomparelli I think fluid physics properties are not there in Blender 2.8. Or maybe you are using a plugin. Let me know

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

That's a very old video, now things are much simpler. In blender 2.83 you have the voxels remesh modifier

[@naitiksharma9728]

Thanks @@AlessandroZomparelli. I'll try using voxels remesh.

[@girugaymesh]

that's pretty sick o.O

[@Onyx2525]

Cool

[@activemotionpictures]

how much time did the calculation took?

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Activemotionpictures as you can see in the video is almost 20 seconds.

[@94hania]

why can't I use my curves from particles to CurvestoMesh :(

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

Hi! Did you converted them from the modifier stack before?

[@cleoagash]

Can we do it in 2.8 also,?

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

I think so...

[@cleoagash]

@@AlessandroZomparelli but there's no convert to button in 2.8...could you check

[@AlessandroZomparelli]

@@cleoagash for the particles there is, just checked. Are you using an old build? Anyway, the current particles system is going to be replaced in the next releases of Blender. But for the moment you can still use this workflow.

Bämm !!
