Deterministic Art Simulation in Grasshopper 3D

Particle simulations are inherently deterministic, ensuring consistent outcomes when the initial conditions remain unchanged during resets. In this project, I am recreating iconic masterpieces—such as the Mona Lisa and Van Gogh paintings—within Grasshopper 3D for Rhino. By leveraging either Kangaroo or the FlexHopper plugin, you can harness the power of GPU-accelerated computation to manage a vast number of particles efficiently.

Using the Kangaroo Script

  1. Download the Grasshopper script.
  2. Drag and drop it onto the Grasshopper canvas.
  3. Double-click on the image component to replace it with any 1:1 aspect ratio image of your choice.

Using the FlexHopper Script

  1. First, install the FlexHopper plugin from food4rhino.com/en/app/flexhopper
  2. Once installed, follow the same steps as for Kangaroo—load the script and replace the image as desired.

Whether you choose Kangaroo or FlexHopper, these tools allow you to explore the fascinating world of particle simulations and generative art. Dive in, experiment, and bring your artistic vision to life with Grasshopper 3D.
