Design technologist Colin McCrone proposes a challenge in Dynamo Studio for Autodesk Revit to subdivide the hexagonal and pentagonal faces of a buckyball or geodesic sphere into triangular panels.
(metallic sound)…- [Instructor] In this challenge, use Dynamo…to subdivide the faces of a buckyball into smaller…triangular panels that make the form more spherical.…A buckyball, which you can make with the node buckyball dot…by origin and radius from the package Clockwork,…is a polyhedron with faces that are regular…hexagons and pentagons.…It was first described by the architect Buckminster Fuller,…and was later discovered to be a form of carbon molecule.…There are multiple ways to go about doing this,…and, depending on your skill level,…it can take about 15 to 20 minutes.…
Have fun!…
