GRASSHOPPER WEAVE

The weave definition takes any surface, and applies a basic weave pattern to it. This is done by defining an amount of U and V divisions along the surface. From these divisions, the intersection points are raised and lowered, and then connected with an interpolated curve. The goal is to eventually develop more complicated weaves from this base definition, and replace the tubular construction with something a little more dynamic. There are some bugs to be worked out too. As the surface becomes more contoured and 3-dimensional, the weave begins to break up, which can be seen in some of the images.
The definition exposes the well developed tree organization of data in grasshopper. Without this data control, the definition would have been much larger, and not as flexible in terms of weave density. Applying it to any curve surface would have also been more difficult.

hello alex !
i tried to do the same in 3ds max using patch deform modifier.
but its far more easier in rhino.
Quick question: when i try to apply the definition my weave lines appear jumbled up instead of in a weave pattern. Is there any flattening or changes in the booleons?

Hi Alex.
I had the same problem with the gh definition and I tried to redo the grasshopper scheme again, but it is completely flat and the interpolation is red: is there any integer I should set or any other data that cannot be red in the screenshot you give?
Thank you.
I love your blog, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Alex,
Thanks for keeping up this website. I used to come to here for SketchUp and Photoshop tutorials but have moved into Rhino and Grasshopper and found this weave tutorial very exciting, but I can't get it working.
I, like Zoraide, tried to build the definition from the image above, but it was also coming out flat.
Would you be able to email the gh definition, assuming you have a version that works in GH 0.9.0014 (Rhino 5)?
Cheers,
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, a lot of people would keep such good tricks to themselves!
