A Grasshopper component library to generate the pasta forms mathematically defined in George L Legendre's 2011 book Pasta By Design. Also included are some of the forms from Joseph Choma's 2015 book Morphing.
This is an ongoing student research project for Spring Semester 2024.
- Radiatori
- Casarecce
- Fusilli Capri
- Lancette
- Scialatielli
- Fiocchi Rigati
- Agnolotti
- Riccioli Ai Cinque Sapori
Copy Marinara.gha to your Grasshopper components folder. Restart Rhino.
The library should appear under in Grasshopper under a new tab, 'Marinara'.
The default values are enough to generate a pasta form.
- U domain - domain of values for U
- V domain - domain of values for V
- steps - how many points should we make in each of U and V
- max_dimension - set this to resize the shape to fit a box with this as the longest side. Leave at -1 for actual size in mm.
- radius/plumpness/etc - additional parameters to manipulate the form
- Surface
- UCurves
- VCurves
- U
- V
