Food4Rhino

This plugin is a set of 123 components at the moments. It is a Work In Progress (WIP), that means that some components can change a bit. A part of these components were developed in order to help people on the Grasshopper forums (http://grasshopper3d.com and https://discourse.mcneel.com) and the others are Laurent Delrieu personal projects.

You will find tools to:

• Draw Spirals
• Make perfect Maze on a mesh
• Generate single line path useful for 3d printing
• Wordle (random placement of objects on a 2D object)
• Mesh Iso Splitting
• Gilbert Tessellation (2D and 3D)
• Differents type of reaction
  • Directional Reaction diffusion
  • Belousov-zhabotinsky reaction
  • SnowFlake growth

Many new tools will be added in the next months. But first bugs must me treated. Components could also change a bit.

Most of the components do not require a licence, so are free to use

Components with a yellow square will need a licence. These components are present and partially work.

• Gilbert Tessellation 3D
• Gilbert Tessellation Stars On Mesh
• Gilbert Tessellation Fans On Mesh
• Maze Kruskal Extended
• Elliposoid From Polyline
• Single Line Fills (Offsets, Sinus, Spiral, Zigzags and Lines)
• Envelop Lines
• Tree From Network Of Curves
• Reaction Diffusion Extended
• Quad Mesh Strippers
• Catmull Clark Subdivision (only the weights subdivisions is affected by the licence)
• Mesh Stepped Bumps
• Region Slits Ext

If you want a licence, send we an email with the UserName you have on the computer you use. You can have access to this information with the component "Nautilus Licence Information". A level 1 licence is 50 € for 2 years, 100 € for 10 years.

• LDLIB.dll   => Main library that you can access, with some restrictions if you have not the good licence
• Nautilus.gha => Grasshopper library
• NautilusPublicKey.xml => public KEY, don't modify this file
• NautilusLicencesUserName.xml  (Not present if you have no licence)
