VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: June 2014

http://www.varylab.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Creating a Surface From Scratch. Creating a start geometry. The quad mesh generator dialog. We start by creating a simple square with a generator from the menu Generators- Quad Mesh. Set the u and v resolution to 2 and uncheck the "Use Dimonds" box. This creates our start geometry, a quadrilateral. You can move the vertices in space by selecting and Shift-Mouse-Drag. To obtain a finer surface resolution, we use several subdivision steps. From the menu choose. Activate the Sping Energy. Panel you can sele...

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: VaryLab Grasshopper Components

http://www.varylab.com/2013/08/varylab-grasshopper-components.html

We started to implement a set of Grasshopper components to connect the VaryLab main program to the Rhino world. This is different to the prior approach of implementing a native Rhino 3D plug-in described in this article. Visit the download section. To get the current version of the Grasshopper assembly. A second component feeds the active geometry loaded in VaryLab into Grasshopper. This example brings the active VaryLab geometry into Grasshopper and scales it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: Discrete Surface Parameterization

http://www.varylab.com/2013/07/discrete-surface-parameterization.html

When speaking about parameterization of a discrete surface we really mean the assignment of texture coordinates to the vertices of a mesh in VaryLab. This enables us to draw images on the surface and do processing in this image space. We can do re-meshing by introducing new vertices at some locations on the mesh guided by some pattern in texture space, e.g., a quad or triangle pattern. See this. Post for a description of the re-meshing capabilities of VaryLab. VaryLab supports the display of textures on ...

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: May 2013

http://www.varylab.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

VaryLab Service is constantly evolving. We are now approaching a feature-freeze status. However for the beta phase there are some things yet to be implemented. Here is a list:. Example models for each bundle. Default property files for each bundle. Bundle blog pages need content. Separate project configuration pages. The beta version release date is the. 22th of Juli 2013.

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: Remeshing

http://www.varylab.com/p/remeshing.html

The term remeshing referes to the change of mesh connectivity while retaining the overall shape of the surface. This post should give you an impression of the remeshing features of VaryLab. You can download this model from here. If you follow this tutorial step by step. The model comes readily equipped with texture coordinates so we can apply a texture image to it. How to calculate texture coordinates is another story that can also be achieved with VaryLab. This is the topic of another post. The next ste...

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: Gridshells

http://www.varylab.com/p/gridshells.html

The Gridshells bundle lets you create meshes with constant edge length. The geometry can follow a reference surface. Start the gridshells project from your projects page. If you did not create a gridshells project, you have to create one first. To create a gridshell from a triangulated mesh, you need to do the following. We use the Surface Remeshing. Panel to create an initial mesh with the correct topology/combinatorics. Load a model using the Halfedge JReality Interface. From the dropdown menu. A new c...

VaryLab - Discrete Surface Optimization: October 2013

http://www.varylab.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

In this little post I will explain how to use VaryLab to create an A-net, i.e., a mesh with the property that each node and its neighbors lie in one plane. Since A-nets are discrete versions of parametrization along asymptotic lines which only exist for surfaces with negative Gaussian curvature, we need to create a mesh with negative curvature first. We start with a standard quad grid from the generators menu. After clicking "Ok" we have a nice 6x6 quad grid. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). When speaking abo...
