Hanging nets

One thing I've always wanted to code up, is a physics simulation of hanging chains to create catenary curves. Moving into 3D is pretty easy, but am having some trouble with Processing at the moment that whenever I switch to 3D mode, it takes a long time to launch.

Future experiment is to combine this with the L-Systems pattern generator that I first started during undergrad studies and generate various hanging net structures.

Solar Direction

Been meaning to do this one for awhile, hacked some code to work out the sun direction (azimuth and altitude) for any given location and any day and time of the year. Working on some research in splitting global and diffuse irradiance levels, so this might be used later to automate the process of creating a model.

A few experiments

Semester is coming to an end and I'd like to do some creative coding. Was thinking of a few SketchUp plugins that to create a few parametric motifs. The first experiment was with offseting.
