Grasshopper Easter Egg – Multi coloured meshes

My Rhino 6 asked to update and I discovered a brand new feature in Grasshopper after the installation! Apparently you can now color your own easter eggs with the gradient tool! All you need is an egg mesh which you plug into the gradient tool, and voilà, it will color eggs in all kinds of colors!

The missing ellipse – Grasshopper plugin

In Rhino there are a few options to create ellipses, but let's face it, it's not every time that know the two radii or foci of the ellipse, but rather only one radii and one point on the boundary. Why is the option to create an ellipse with these paramaters not already in the software? It's actually a simple mathematical problem, and quite easy to script. So that's what I did! The grasshopper component I wrote takes three points in space and creates an ellipse (if there exists a valid ellipse for these points). The component can be downloaded at Food for Rhino and will show up under QueenBee/Geometry after being loaded into Grasshopper. Have fun modelling!

A very fractal Christmas, and a recursive new year

This December is apparently extreme with regard to weather in Stuttgart, where I am currently doing my internship. There have been storms, extreme cold and "heavy" snow fall. For a northerner like me it's practically a pretty decent winter so far, and I really do like snow. So much in fact that I decided I would finally script some recursive fractal snow flakes in C#! Enjoy this interactive parametric model!
