Parametric Pattern - Weave

[@ParametricHouse]

How do you model this pattern? Tell me how will you model this from scratch (or any other method you suggest) and we will discuss it Download the algorithm from: parametric3d.com/en/parametric-pattern-weave/

[@TheSameDonkey]

I think I'd start with two identical rectangular point grids. Offset one in the z-direction and use a pick and choose to connect them to an interpolate curve. That would give one direction and a flip matrix would give the other. There might be a a little fiddling to get the patterns alternating properly but I think it'd work

[@yapanwolf]

how to add this pattern to an unregular shape like a.o. wave?

[@Frankvegastudio]

Great video! I have a question. I have been researching parametric modeling for footwear, especially shoe lasts design. What can you share about this?

[@Redmanuka]

Create and set points along line . Create number slider sequence to shift alternate points 1 & -1 in y direction. Interpolate line to create curve through points. Pipe along curve. Array linear. Copy grid of pipes and rotate 90 degrees. Move in x direction 1 or -1 to get curve overlapping .

[@ParametricHouse]

Great idea 👍 that is also possible. A mirror will be needed after rotating the curves 90 degree to make the weave pattern possible. For the -x, x sequence you can use the repeat component.

[@adewunmiolamilekan1537]

so I used a sine curve and rotated it but I'm not very sure its effective like yours. so thanks a lot

[@nelsonvargas6347]

Excellent explanation.

[@ParametricHouse]

🙏

[@InbarShahak]

Thank you for a very detailed tutorial, how do I cap the pipe to be able to print it? and how do I make sure that the gap between the pipes is bigger than 0.5 in case I want to print them with movement?

[@ParametricHouse]

You're welcome. There is an input for pipe which you can choose cap. You can also decrease the radius for more gap.

[@navinrajeev2775]

how do you wrap this pattern without distortion onto a specific surface ? say, shape of a microphone(other than traditional spherical shape) or may be a shoe sole so as to emphasis that weave pattern?

[@ParametricHouse]

Watch the Box Morph tutorial for more info

[@navinrajeev2775]

@@ParametricHouse I did try that after creating 4 consecutive pipes but when its applied to the target surface certain areas ( specially with higher curvatures) are twisted largely disrupting the flow.

[@virgilioestebaniii1818]

Create a series of sine lines along x & y-axis and then use pipe component to make it 3-dimentional.

[@ParametricHouse]

Thats also a good idea👍 you can produce a series of sine curves in the x or y direction but remember to change their starting point by Pi so they can produce the weave

[@porschepanamera92]

I would have used a polar array to make the unit pattern, or is this computational less efficient? Less components though.

[@ParametricHouse]

Great one👍 it's definitely a better solution. This clearly shows that there is always room for optimizing an algorithm.

[@joelcardenas2071]

Hello, just out of curiosity, instead of creating the curve out of scratch, using the sine curve and cosine curve would it make the same effect?

[@cyberspider78910]

I think so...(but newbee here !!)

[@a.n.6084]

Hi. Great tutorial. thank you. Is it possible to rotate it 45 degrees?

[@ParametricHouse]

Hi Thanks Yes sure but you have to do it another way (use the diagonal lines of a grid maybe)

[@a.n.6084]

Thank you for answer. Am a beginner I Grasshopper. Can you give me a hint where I have to put a diagonal line node. Sorry for bothering and thanks

[@nooritani3857]

Hello, if I drew the curves on rhino and set them on grasshopper, then added the pipe tool, would it still work? Thank you!

[@ParametricHouse]

Hi Noor Yes you can simply model this in Rhino and use the array and pipe tool in Grasshopper to achieve it!

[@predatorek1231]

can i do it on the object? im trying to make a microphone

[@smooth_as_eggs8980]

Awesome work, was curious how one would apply that pattern/texture to an organic/non-planer surface (i.e. footwear or soft goods design)? Would love to know if you have a tutorial covering something similar or if you could make one!

[@ParametricHouse]

You can simply morph the module on the surface. check out this definition for more info: parametric3d.com/en/morphing-module/

[@smooth_as_eggs8980]

Awesome! Thank you so much.
