Diagrid

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight as to a good way to generate a diagrid structure on a surface in Houdini?

There are lots of examples of grasshopper definitions online but I wasn't able to find anything for Houdini.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input!

Here are some reference images:

Preferably the setup should be able to generate the structure as well as additional elements such as window panes, clips etc. And in the end the original surface will be animated.

For now I'll try the dissolve method and see if I can get what I need.

You could dissolve each odd point's edges in alternating triangles grid, just three more nodes. Here the sample subnet. It's totally like Grid SOP, but diagonal.

Or you could just create a grid twice as large, rotate it 45 degrees and then use 4 clip nodes to remove the parts that you don't want.

It might be slightly faster in versions before 15.5, but in 15.5 we got a better disolve node so take your pick ;)
