Bamboo Weave with Data Trees

Over-under strip weave built from data trees and Flip Matrix

A point grid is built as a data tree {i}(j) with grafted Construct Point. Each point's height is amplitude times cos(pi x (i + j)), so warp strips go up and down alternately. Weft strips use the same points with inverted heights and a tree flipped by Flip Matrix, so they always pass under a raised warp strip. Every curve is extruded into a flat strip like traditional bamboo weaving.

Components and plugins

Components used

Series
Interpolate
Move
Extrude
Flip Matrix
Addition

Plugins required

None. It uses only the components built into Grasshopper.

Parameters you can change

Strips (4 to 30): strips per direction
Strip Spacing (1 to 6): spacing between strips (cm)
Amplitude (0.05 to 1): over-under wave height (cm)
Strip Width (0.5 to 5): strip width (cm)

How the definition works

1Set the sliders in the Parameters group (Strips, Strip Spacing, Amplitude, Strip Width).
2Data tree indices: A grafted Series i plus Series j produces a tree {i}(j) holding i + j.
3Warp: Grafted Construct Point forms warp curves per branch, then they are extruded to strip width.
4Weft: Points with inverted Z, the tree flipped by Flip Matrix, interpolated and extruded along Y.

Frequently asked questions

Do I get the real file?

Yes. The pictures on this page are only previews. After payment we send the download link of the real project file (a ZIP containing the .gh and .ghx definition, the baked .3dm, images and a BACA-DULU.txt note) by WhatsApp or email.

Which Grasshopper version do I need?

The file was made in Rhino 8 with Grasshopper (Rhino 8). Newer versions open it too.

Can you adapt it to my design?

Yes, as a separate order. Message us on WhatsApp with a short description of the size and shape you want.
