The class catalog for Autodesk University 2024 has been live for a week or two already, with attendees being able to bookmark sessions ahead of the ability to enroll fully. Well, today's the day that enrollment opens properly, so have at it! Classes often fill up quickly, so doing it sooner can certainly be better […]

The topic for this post relates to a project I've been working on for a few weeks, now. We've taken a complex set of spatial analyses - that use our favourite voxel-based architectural space analysis Dynamo package, VASA - and have translated them to work directly in the browser. (This translation process isn't really the […]

A very quick update on my holiday "fun". After a bit of work I managed to combine two VASA voxel models - one for the visibility cone and one for its intersection with Forma's site surroundings, something we saw last time - into a single Forma mesh. You can hopefully see that the performance is […]

This week I'm up in the mountains with my family. It's my younger children's winter half-term break, but as I do have a few meetings to attend during the week I decided to only take half days off: snowboarding in the morning and working in the afternoons. I found some time between meetings to work […]

This week I've been continuing some of the work I did during the recent Forma Hackathon in Oslo. Part of this was using the Forma Elements API to extract information about buildings included in the "proposal" being developed. For the Hackathon I'd hardcoded the size of the buildings - the number of floors and the […]

I'm now back from Oslo, and decided to record the demo I delivered there at the end of the Forma Hackathon (or something approximating it, as I used twice as much time as we were each allocated on the day). Here's a photo shared by the event organizers of me talking: Here's the video I […]

On Monday I headed to Zurich airport with our eldest son to hop across to Oslo. He's between semesters at Uni - waiting for his exam results to trickle in - and it's great we're getting the chance to get a change of air for a few days.It's rare that I sit in a window […]

Happy New Year to everyone reading this blog. I hope that those of you who had time off enjoyed it to the max: I certainly did. Mixing metaphors gratuitously, I'm now back in the saddle and trying hard to get my head back in the game. Here's a fun topic to get the year started: […]

The recordings and other materials prepared for the two classes I helped present at AU 2023 are now available online. In today's post I'll point you to the first class, entitled "Channeling Minecraft to Analyze Architectural Spaces with VASA and Dynamo". This one was one of the first sessions of AU 2023, and had a […]

I was sure this series was finished - as indicated in the last post which talked about both VASA's pathfinding and visibility from a point inside Forma, after having talked about a manual approach for connecting the two tools - but I did leave the door ajar to me finding something else to talk about […]
