Mesh Growth script for Blender Sverchok

Overview This entry shows some examples of Differential Mesh Growth, using a script in SNLite node in Blender Sverchok add-on. Description About a couple of month ago, I posted an entry to show an example of Differential Mesh Growth using …

Playing with Willmore Flow 1D in Blender using Sverchok add-on

Overview This entry shows some examples of Willmore Flow 1D simulation in Blender, using SNLite node of Sverchok add-on. The script using in this entry is implemented following the paper about Willmore Flow by Keenan Crane et. al. and some…

Differential Mesh Growth in Blender with Sverchok add-on

Overview This entry shows an attempt to implement differential mesh growth in Blender with Sverchok add-on. Description In my previous entry, I wrote about Differential Curve Growth on mesh with SNLite node in Sverchok. In this entry, inst…

Differential Growth on mesh using Sverchok SNLite in Blender

Overview This entry shows how to process Differential Growth on mesh, using Sverchok SNLite node in Blender. This entry follows my blog's previous entry. Description In my previous entry, I wrote scripts to simulate Differential Growth on …

Differential line growth inside the boundary, using Blender Sverchok add-on

Overview This entry shows the way to draw Differential line growth with 'ScriptNodeLite' node in Sverchok add-on for Blender. In addition to the normal growth, this attempt uses certain boundaries to restrict the expansion. Description Thi…

Reaction Diffusion using C code with Sverchok SNLite node in Blender

Overview This entry describes Reaction Diffusion (RD) simulation in Blender, with C code using Sverchok ScriptNodeLite(SNLite) node. Description This aim is to enable RD simulation on Blender's node editor, not just to get RD's 3D models. …

Run external C code with Sverchok SNLite node in Blender

Overview This entry describes how to run external C/C++ code in Blender, using Sverchok's Script Node Lite (SNLite). You can also use this approach with only Blender python without Sverchok. But if you use the add-on, you may write fewer c…
