Image Based Vector Fields
I put together a very simple script for creating vector fields from images, visualising the results with one of SPM’s vector field components. The script iteratively rotates a vector based on the greyscale difference between neighbouring pixels, and outputs the grid of vectors. Results and definition below.
hi, i really like this definition but im kinda stuck bcause i dont know how to turn vectors to curves, can you help me?
Hi David,
In order to generate the curves, you iteratively push points through the vector field. Because of the iteration/looping required this is typically done with a script, but SPM’s vector field plugin (http://www.food4rhino.com/project/spm) will do this for you with their ‘Integration’ components. Have a look at their example files to figure out how they work. I didn’t include the components in the definition because not everyone will have them installed.
Hi thank you for response, can you please upload the file with the spm vector component, i have it but i been strugling to get a result for the last 3 hours and i cant seem how to make it work the way you do.
thanks
