Rhino User Webinar: SubD contour for gems using Grasshopper - by Aurelio Perugini (in Italian)

 Rhino User Webinar (in Italian)

SubD contour for gems using Grasshopper

04 Oct 2023 at 16:00 (CEST)

In the words of Aurelio Perugini: 'At the request of a friend of mine, Chiocca Gianluca, of the jewellery shop of the same name in Terracina (LT), the opportunity arose for me to create a Grasshopper definition for a ring with a diamond outline.

I wanted to make a fairly soft contour so I thought of exploiting SubD, after which I imagined that by creating a definition this would also be useful in other parts of the ring and I could exploit it in subsequent projects.

Definitions of this type are often complex and time-consuming, so I tried to make a simple project, and I wanted to share this experience with other users who may have the same needs as me.

Self-taught, since 1999 I have taught CAD for jewellery with Rhinoceros at the professional schools of Valenza, (AL) in Milan and at the Master's degree course for jewellery at the University of Eastern Piedmont. In recent years, in parallel with my work as a planner and designer for Il Sole Gioielli, a manufacturing company in Valenza, I have been working with my partner, Gianfranco Guzzo, on the project for a jewellery plugin, EasyJewels3D."

New version of Lark Spectral Lighting Grasshopper plugin

 

ZGF Architects and the University of Washington Applied Research Consortium (ARC) have released version 3.0 of Lark Spectral Lighting on food4Rhino and GitHub. The Lark project is a global, peer-reviewed, open-source software to expand the toolkit for researchers and designers predicting non-visual light for human health.

Lark v3.0 allows for custom spectral power distributions for the sky, sun, electric lights, glazing, and finish materials. The workflow can be used by architects, lighting designers, manufacturers, researchers, and public health officials to test any configuration of daylight and electric lighting for any building type. 

Applying measured spectral data for light sources has been a driver for Lark, first with skies (v1.0), then electric lights (v2.0), and now the sun (v3.0). Their research shows the color of the sun transitions from warmer spectrums at sunrise (e.g. violet, orange, red) and sunset to cooler spectrums (e.g. blue) at its zenith, which can largely impact non-visual light stimulus. This cycle can be simulated with full-spectrum lighting in any indoor environment for improved health and wellbeing.

With his expertise in programming robotic systems and the extended use of Grasshopper code in his research, Altenburger took inspiration from the convergence of ancient traditions and modern technology.

Altenburger's fascination with the shift from high-end digital environments to the humble surroundings of a Hanoi studio is evident in his exhibition. Working in intense humidity, crucial for the drying and curing of Vietnamese lacquer derived from tree resin, Altenburger's art exudes a unique blend of ancient artistry and contemporary innovation.

The exhibition, held at Galerie Lunette in the heart of historic Hanoi, provided Altenburger an opportunity to showcase his works alongside established artists such as Claudia Van and Dinh Ngoc Canh.

Looking forward to further exploration in this field, Altenburger is drawn to the immersive experience of working in Hanoi studios. He anticipates many more productive days in the sweltering heat as he continues to explore how digital technology opens new aesthetic avenues in this ancient technique.
