In popular media the ‘BUTTERFLY EFFECT’ stems from the real-world implications of the Lorenz attractor, i.e. that in any physical system, in the absence of perfect knowledge of the initial conditions (even the minuscule disturbance of the air due to a butterfly flapping its wings), our ability to predict its future course will always fail. This underscores that physical systems can be completely deterministic and yet still be inherently unpredictable even in the absence of quantum effects. The shape of the Lorenz attractor itself, when plotted graphically, may also be seen to resemble a butterfly.(wikipedia)

Anemone Plugin

This is the fourth release of my plug-in which enables you to create loops in Grasshopper. The basic workflow relies on two main components :

  • Loop Start
  • Loop End

Where Loop End sends data back to Loop Start.

There are probably still some bugs, so save your work twice before using Anemone.

Changelog

  • 0.4 Fourth release
    • Two new loop modes added – fast and internalized.
    • Cleaned up the interface of the classic components.
    • Added time buffer.
    • Each loop mode has now an optional timeout value, preventing the loop to run for too long.
  • 0.26 Third release
    • “Unable to restart” bug fixed.
    • “Browse history” component added.
    • Refreshed icons.
    • Changes under the hood (preventing potential bugs)
    • Loop Start counter output caused Grasshopper to slow a bit, now it won’t draw the counter value as output name.
    • Minor bugs fixed.
  • 0.2 Second release
    • Backward compatible with the GH 0.9.0014
    • ​~60% of the code rewritten.
    • Added support for multiple data streams (use ZUI).
    • “While” loops made possible with a new “Exit” input in Loop End. Set to True to exit the loop.
    • Double click the Loop End to pause/unpause the loop.
    • Changed layout for clarity.
    • Renamed “Steps” to “Repeats”.
    • Now “Repeats” do not restart the loop when changed. Therefore you can always increase the loop count without wiping the data.
    • Trigger input supported only one trigger value, fixed.
    • Probably faster.
    • Lots of bugs fixed…
  • 0.1 The first release

I have tested this project, but it is the first release and it might contain still bugs. Please use it “as is”, it does not come with warranties. I spent a lot of time developing the logic and implementing it, please give credit where credit is due.

To install:

  • In Grasshopper, choose File > Special Folders > Components folder. Save the gha file there.
  • Right-click the file > Properties > make sure there is no “blocked” text
  • Restart Rhino and Grasshopper
