that mesh is a "thin layer" what if I would like for it to have some thickness. meaning the mesh connects to the thickness of the surface. kind of like a web attaching both faces of the surface.

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@rosemelie but.. i do give the mesh thickness at the end of the video

[@rosemelie]

@@DesignGoBrr what I mean is imagine a plane. and that plane has an outer wall and inner wall. how can I make those tow faces connect with h=this type of mesh? imagine a spider web connection both faces

[@rosemelie]

does anyone know why rhino says "this version of millipede is no longer valid"?

[@callmeyourj7337]

how can I change the size of each sphere with this plug-in?

[@Iloveyou0600]

how did u do the crvs on the thumbnail i cant get it like the thumbnail no matter what i do :/

[@oliveramory1378]

Thank you so much, sir! Could you make a tutorial of rheotomic surfaces?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Honestly I'd suggest using kangaroo minimal surfaces for designing rather than Rheotomic surfaces. Will give you much more design "flexibility". Every time you need to use numbers to describe a design - it becomes a super restrictive process which will never hold up in real life applications.

[@oliveramory1378]

@@DesignGoBrr Awesome! Really helpful suggestion. Thanks again, sir!

[@serrakeklik4592]

hi , I followed all the steps but somehow untill i connect 0.00900 to isosurface it creates more shapes than the points i see in the screen, how can i fix that?

[@pb89905]

Thank you for great tutorial. May I suggest you to make a tutorial about building TPMS using the mathematical equation instead of the plug-ins. This program is making a very useful source of model building in pharma industry where the mathematical calculations are necessary (size, SA, Vol). Unfortunately, the plug-ins limit the variability of the design therefore are unfavoured. I was looking for tutorial myself for past year and was not successful.

[@kiarashkiany3401]

thanks a lot that was very helpful and the instructions were superb

[@DesignGoBrr]

Super! Really happy to hear it. My newer tutorials have voiceover, so it should be easier to follow them!

[@rosemelie]

Quick question: how would I add a grid to this definition? lets say a regular square grid that would follow the mesh. would it be using the regular grid grasshopper component or weave bird. sorry new to this and all.

[@DesignGoBrr]

Hi there - to guide you in the correct direction - what you're looking for how to create a "quad mesh topology" from a triangulated mesh. Forget about a grid - it's impossible to fit a grid on surfaces like these, because you'll always have "mesh topological singularities" , but it is indeed possible to rebuild this kind of geometry into "cleaner" topology. I'd strongly suggest going through this webinar: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5WkomqGjZieraM , it will help you get a solid footing in grasshopper.

[@rosemelie]

@@DesignGoBrr oh I see... welp I guess I'll forget about that lol. thank you man!

[@bryandelacruz764]

when i put the expression into the range. it says unknown value for x... i don't know why. is it necessary to have the expression?

[@haixiazhang7425]

great one! nicely done, thanks a lot!

[@DesignGoBrr]

Thanks a bunch! My new videos have audio now, should be an improvement

[@Flora-Embrace_The_Wolrd]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@DesignGoBrr]

My pleasure!

[@haddadchristian87]

This video is very helpful for me. Thank you for this ! However, the isosurface result I’m getting is an array of surfaces instead of one like yours. Tried to bake and ungroup but when I increase the resolution the system bugs and crashes because of the high number of surfaces.. any advice? Thank you

[@DesignGoBrr]

In the Isosurface node, do you have "merge" input set to true? This should solve it.

[@haddadchristian87]

Gediminas Kirdeikis yes Boolean toggle for merge is set to true

[@haddadchristian87]

Gediminas Kirdeikis still not working though

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@haddadchristian87 That is strange. Nothing else comes to my mind. Maybe the xyz resolution of the isosurface and the amount of voxel points you have in xyz directions (evaluate box node) dont match up?

[@haddadchristian87]

Gediminas Kirdeikis no everything looks just like yours. Strange indeed.. do you think it has something to do with the plugin itself ? Because every time I open the file it keeps telling me that millipede has expired.

[@nikbandit3391]

awsm. nice skills, best presentation!thx

[@DesignGoBrr]

Thanks a bunch! My new videos have audio now, should be an improvement

[@germansandoval2109]

it´s beautiful man thanks a lot!!!!!!!

[@DesignGoBrr]

Happy to see this helpful!

[@Constantin.Cosmin]

hello, command ISO Surface is not popping up. what can I do?

[@DesignGoBrr]

Hi there, you need to install Millipede addon, which has that particular tool. If you have installed it and it still doesn't pop up, make sure that the all downloaded files are unblocked (right click each file, go to properties, tick-mark "unblock" box)

[@Constantin.Cosmin]

​@@DesignGoBrr Thank you so much! It worked! Now, how do I can offset the whole structure? I have tried to offset the mesh after I baked it, yet looks undesirable.

[@Constantin.Cosmin]

@@DesignGoBrrI mean, can't be done by script?

[@DesignGoBrr]

@@Constantin.Cosmin Weaverbird plugin has MeshThicken node that can be used to offset the mesh in Grasshopper, but I prefer to use Rhino one, since at that point I'm preparing the mesh to be 3d printed.

[@Constantin.Cosmin]

@@DesignGoBrr Thanks again, You a lifesaver! :)) I made a different gyroid and this one is not offseting correctly using "meshoffset".

[@vodkaPetrov]

YAAAAASSSSSS

[@rainl4502]

Great!

[@DesignGoBrr]

Thanks! This is a very old one though - i suggest following newer ones

[@saraa7117]

And the good videos dont have sound. Bruh i wouldnt hate ur voice why didnt u record it?!

[@DesignGoBrr]

The newer tutorials that I've done have a voiceover (it took me a while to get a half-decent microphone). Make sure to check those out!

[@Dev1nci]

Thank you for the effort but this isn’t as cool as the cover image 😅

[@DesignGoBrr]

Change the random point cloud with curve attractors (high iso value) and you'll get 1:1 output of the cover image.

[@Dev1nci]

@@DesignGoBrr Thank you, it's a very evocative image. I was thinking of working on a simple problem my lecturer told me about ages ago, I will show you if I get anywhere :)
