It's time to talk about a little project I started over the holiday break: connecting Project Refinery – the optimization engine for Dynamo that will help drive Generative Design workflows – to Virtual Reality. It's a project I've been thinking about for some time, now, and was originally inspired by two things: the workflow Van […]

Now that we've seen a couple of posts showing how to query information about Hue lights via a Philips Hue bridge from Dynamo Studio, it's time for the really fun stuff: controlling lights from Dynamo. To make this happen some changes were needed to the zero-touch node that talks to the Philips Hue API on […]

In the last post we looked at some initial code to get basic information about the lights connected to a Philips Hue bridge. In this post we're going to extend the code to expose more information but also to query the bridge repeatedly, allowing the graph to display the latest light colours as they change. […]

I mentioned in a recent post that I was chewing on how design apps might connect with building automation systems to display data via lights. My first step along this path was to see how Dynamo Studio might connect into my home's Philips Hue bridge and get information about the "smart" lights it contains. To […]

Now that we've introduced how the CRX will be loaded by AutoCAD I/O – via an Autoloader bundle – we're going to take a look at the code needed to create and test our Activity using it. As a starting point – and as mentioned last time – you should get hold of the code […]

The Autodesk Technical Summit is an annual, internal, 2-day technical conference for members of Autodesk's engineering staff. I've been lucky enough to attend since 2011 (the first was held in 2010), and have seen the event grow both in breadth and attendance, over the years: this year there were 500 attendees from around the world […]

After introducing the series and looking at a sample 2D JavaScript application, it's time to go 3D. Well, 2.5D, anyway. We're going to implement a simple sample using the Isomer library that extracts bounding box information about 3D solids – which could be extended to get more detailed topological information, albeit with quite some work […]

Having introduced this series, it's time to look at some code. This first sample shows how to create and host a web-page that uses an external graphics library – in our case Paper.js – within an AutoCAD application. The main "trick" to this is going to be getting the data from the HTML page into […]

I was happy to see Scott's announcement that a tool I'd seen demoed back at AU – and during my recent trip to Israel – has now been published to the iOS App Store (even if it's really a Labs release, at this stage). It was developed by the Applied Research group in our Tel […]

Over the weekend I managed to complete the BerkeleyX Foundations of Computer Graphics class. This was really an excellent class, both in terms of the structure of the lectures and the homework assignments, which actually scaled in a non-linear way (the last assignment took as much time to complete as the previous three combined). But […]
