GH plug-in Heliotrope gives precise solar geometry that can can drive solar responsive modules, and can generate useful shadow information. The sun vector and altitude (sun elevation angle) To set the sun position interactively, type “Sun” in Rhino The sun can make a responsive module open and close:...

organic lantern
Taking the organic cell shape into design. starting with points in Rhino, and each point gets a random value, usually a number between -1 and 1, which is represented in the final image. Then, I applies a set of rules that dictate how each point’s value shifts in response...
Lantern – Light and color reflection
