Introduction

Geodesic overview1.jpg

from Andy Houston

  • Geodesic spheres based on icosahedrons, octahedrons and tetrahedrons.
  • No domes yet.
  • Triangular, hexagonal and hex/tri combo face options.
  • A function that turns the current shape into its geometric dual (sort of).
  • Grid, Cylinder, Parabola, Torus and Ball primitives.
  • NEW Hubs and Struts. Fill out those edges and vertices with your custom, decorative meshes.
  • NEW Superformula deforming. Create rounded triangles, wobbly shapes etc.
  • Tabbed GUI for (hopefully) ease of use.

from Meta-Androcto

  • This Script can be used to create Geodesic Objects, not limited to Domes or Spheres,
  • it can create several object types & even apply geodesic formula to your own mesh.
  • A very useful script. A modified Version is now available above.
  • A full list of changes I have made is in geodesic_2.0_mod.py in the new download.



Instructions ( Quick )

  • Instructions are shown when you start the script, here's a copy:
  • Start with the Main tab. Choose a shape to work on.
  • The Formula tab has sliders that can warp & twist the object. (optional)
  • The Faces page creates a new mesh based on the main one, with the faces
  • altered according to the menu options. ie: Spikes, Holes, pillow & more.
  • On the Struts page, import a small Blender Mesh. It will be recreated along
  • each edge of the mesh, suitably scaled & stretched.
  • If both meshes have a lot of vertices, you may experience problems.

(save your work before using this option.)

  • The Hubs page is similar, but the imported mesh is recreated at the
  • vertices of the main mesh.
  • Experiment & Have Fun.
