pretty cool stuff... I was wondering if you could create a tessellation pattern based on the mesh color... So that you could have less structure on areas that are green and the curvature is pretty mild. But in the Blue and Red areas, you could tesselate your surface to generate a higher degree mesh. I was looking at a definition that quantx posted yesterday http://groups.google.com/group/grasshopper3d/browse_thread/thread/bdca33da2fbc6f11?hl=en# that pretty much did this. I was thinking that if you could create a diagrid from the tessellation lines, that you could make an intuitive structure that put more diagrid struts where it needed it, and removed diagrid struts when the curvature didn't require it. I feel like there could be some sort of union between his definition and your gradient definition. Thoughts? -Andy
