Of visual inspirations and (in)frequent musings.

Okay lel maybe I can skip the previous post altogether.

This was instead done pretty rapidly with a Revit > Rhino workflow.

The model was done randomly in Revit before being exported as an .IFC

It was later then imported into Rhino (which is now possible because of the IFC add-on capability due to VisualArq). 

So yeah, probably can do this for emerging proposals moving forward -- especially when I need like Axonometric Drawings and whatnot.

Discovered today just how powerful Rhinoceros 3D can possibly be.

In this case, utilising “Alternate Text” and “Length Factor” as a way to accommodate for scaled dimensions!

In this case, the scale of 1:20!

Pretty lame but realised that if I were to manage my layers well in Rhino, I can specify those layers to the particular lines and have them instantly converted to similar layers in Adobe Illustrator too.

No more back and forth, and squinting trying to manage those lineweights!

Split Brep

The ability to split surfaces with each other is pretty damn amazing. Been doing it wrong all this time -- kept using “Solid Difference” -- that only works when the Brep in question is has a thickness of sorts.

Figuring out Ladybug

Well nothing much but just figuring out how to make it work! Yes all it needed was proper setting up of the script in IronPython for Grasshopper. Good god. Alhamdulillah. Finally can use this to get some Wind Rose / Environmental Analysis going on!!

Whudup. Decided to run VRay for Rhino and actually... am finding it very hard to look back at utilising the basic display views for anything else. Man. This is rendered with the Toon Shader -- of which I honestly feel is like the best material for diagrammatics since forever. Also it rendered so quickly on this funky ThinkPad. The possibilities of it being better on a better workstation is numbingly mind-boggling. Here’s to more exploration with this and yes, utilising it fully for this Site Analysis assignment!

Pretty fucking amazing just how effective drawing vectors in Rhino is? I’ve never enjoyed drawing curve vectors so much until the day I started using Rhino?

This is me attempting to draw a schematic for a Rainwater Irrigation system — done in Rhino and exported (yes exported!) to Illustrator as vector paths — that in essence means I can make line thicknesses and whatnot. What the fuck man this is amazing.

Can’t wait to be experimenting more and often!

[adib-scrapbook]

HAHA the excitement doesn’t end!!!

[adib-scrapbook]

Okay absolutely digressing again but!! Feel like this is so useful an experimentation for emerging concepts again. This time, literally have set up the document / display modes in Rhino to expedite this process wholly:

1. No Shadow 2. No Shadow (Entourage) 3. Shadow

The one utilised here in this post is (1) and (2). AND I LOVE IT! So quick and so fast and looks pretty damn dope too! Probably am going to try and push for this for the DFP project!

Hello there. Not been here as much as I’ve been pretty swamped with work — and the fact that I was thinking of porting over to Notion for this whole workflow — although definitely digressing because I am back here am I not?

Anyway here’s this! Trying out some quick Diagrammatic presentation manners for emerging work — realised I could export quickly from Rhino in that whole “Pen” style and move it along for a Raster quality workflow — don’t need to export as Illustrator and wait for the bloody long lag and all. This seems to work well enough!

Just redoing this tutorial — well actually the first — instead of deconstructing it myself hahaha.

Anyway! Found out that “Brep Join” allows for the joining of separate panels (in this case) together to form a surface. How dope is that!

[adib-scrapbook]

Nothing much, just a random brain fart because I am not starting on these boomarked tutorials on Youtube hahaha.

Come back to me inspiration!

Anyway this is making connectors between separate bridges of sorts. Also, direct screenshotting in Rhino — surprising that I could utilising them Grasshopper models hahaha.

Pretty much decided to swap out my MBP 2017? for a more than 8 years (maybe more since it’s going to be 2020 soon). And man. Swapping out / booting from an external SSD made so much fucking difference I am honestly verily floored.

How is an iMac from 2011... seemingly more effective than a Macbook Pro from 2017? Really. I think I’ll just invest in one henceforth. 8 GB RAM and I am already achieving such speeds; what more with 64 GB. God. Can’t wait!

YO HOW IS IT SO CHEAP TO 3D PRINT NOW?

FUCKKKK I am so gonna 3d print my projects from now on!!
