Parametric Surface Progress 2

To start...

GRASSHOPPER. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. I've never been more frustrated at a bunch of pixels in my life.

Anyway, bitching aside, I'd run into bunch of issues along the way to where I am now - following along with tutorials to pick up tips and tricks was somewhat helpful, but didn't completely solve what I'm wanting to do... back to the drawing board, I guess.

(I was also like deathly sick with the plague for a solid week. It's just great being behind in assignments.)

On the upside the tutorials ran over some things we haven't done in class: pull to point, flattening/grafting, merging... changing  the "density" of the honeycomb by moving the points underneath is super handy.

Grasshopper widgets so far:

Using honeycomb designs nestled in each other with a hollow center was much easier after giving up on mangling polar array commands (Lines would overlap or generally misbehave instead of fitting flush with each other). Hexgrid saved me some time fiddling with polygon/point/etc.

Last step is to puzzle out how to get each column to rise at different heights. Attempts to patch together an algorithm with the "Random" command and domain functions takes a billion years to translate into Rhino, and even then without any visible effect.

There's one or two solutions that pop up after searching the Grasshopper site, so I'll fiddle around with it a bit more and see what sticks.

Coffee first though. Massive headache.

Questions for next class, I guess. Get stuffed, Grasshopper.
