SURPIK3D - nNw stitching tool for Rhino

SURPIK3D is a new plugin for Rhino and Grasshopper for digital designers in CMF, textile and leather industries (footwear, leather goods, apparel, interior design, furniture, automotive, aircraft, and more) who need to quickly generate stitching and splitting on soft parts of a 3D model for technical or rendering purposes.

You can configure different types of stitching and splitting thanks to the parameters in the user interface and get these as real geometries.

Decoding the Urban Genome with Wallacei online course, June 13-15 (McNeel Europe)

Decoding the Urban Genome with Wallacei 

Online Course

June 13-15, 2022

10 AM–5 PM CEST

Hosted on Zoom by McNeel Europe

The online course Decoding the Urban Genome is for generative design using Wallacei. It is taught by Mohammed Makki and Milad Showkatbakhsh, cofounders of Wallacei. 

Wallacei is an evolutionary engine to run simulations through genetic algorithms for solving multi-objective optimization problems. Wallacei incorporates highly detailed analytic tools with comprehensive selection methods, including unsupervised machine learning algorithms to assist users in making more informed decisions at all stages of their generative design processes. In the 3-day online course, learn the detailed features and functions of the Wallacei platform through a hands-on approach, gaining a thorough understanding of the methodologies associated with the applications of evolutionary concepts in design. The workshop will teach Wallacei through the design of an urban superblock, with added focus on the genome and its significance in the evolutionary process.

Day 1: Fundamentals

• The theory behind the application of Evolutionary Principles in Design and Problem Solving
• Significance of the biological evolutionary processes in nature
• Translation of biological evolutionary processes within computation
• Genetic Algorithms: case studies in design
• Generative Design with Wallacei features and contributions
• Running Wallacei: Environment, Goals, Objectives, and Gene pools

Day 2: Wallacei Generative Design Workflow

• Setting up the generative design workflow, environments, and frameworks for the formulation of an Urban Superblock
• Running the Evolutionary Algorithm
• Understanding the Wallacei.X user interface and reading the simulation’s results
• Wallacei Settings: population, parameters, search space and dynamic charts
• Wallacei Analytics: standard deviation, diamond chart, and fitness values
• Wallacei Selection: parallel coordinate, selecting solutions, Pareto front, and phenotypes

Day 3: Decoding the Urban Genome

• Extracting information from Wallacei.X: genomes, phenotypes, and data.
• Understanding the role of the genome for analysis and selection
• Decoding the genomes outputted by the simulation and extracting additional data sets from the population
• Visualization and animations using Wallacei

VisualARQ Inside.Revit video

The Rhino.Inside.Revit technology allows you to run Rhino and VisualARQ inside Revit. Using Grasshopper as a bridge, the Rhino geometry and VisualARQ objects can travel back and forth from Rhino to Revit.

The VisualARQ.Inside Revit workflow offers a simple way to make this conversion by providing the Grasshopper definitions needed to transfer all the geometry and information with just one single click.

With this workflow you will be able to:

• Transfer all the VisualARQ objects from VisualARQ to Revit
• Transfer Rhino geometry from VisualARQ to Revit
• Use the IFC VisualARQ features to tag Rhino geometry with an IFC type so that it will be transferred to Revit as if you had exported to IFC
• For some objects (walls, slabs, doors, and windows), their styles will be automatically transferred as Revit types so that they will be Revit native objects
• Transfer all the VisualARQ parameters associated to objects with their values
• Update all this information anytime

Bella 22.3 for Rhino released

Diffuse Logic is pleased to announce the public release of Bella 22.3, which introduces its new Saturn solver. 

The Saturn solver is built on a novel new architecture, which enables fast, fully spectral rendering, as well as the ability to stop at a given perceptual noise level and use the same solver for preview and production rendering. With CPU performance on par with some GPU renderers, Saturn, which features native support for Apple Silicon, also serves as the basis for the ongoing development of hybrid CPU/GPU support in Bella.

Additional features introduced in this release include an optical vignetting element that simulates cat-eye bokeh, simulation of sensor noise and film grain, the ability to override transmittance color when using measured complex IOR data which can be especially useful when rendering gemstones, as well as various enhancements to the Bella GUI application. 

As always, Bella 22.3 is freely available to demo with no time limit.
