An on-line and downloadable app that allows people to generate their own Voronoi bookshelf. Specify the dimensions and material, and the code generates a series of downloadable files that go right to a laser cutter or CNC router.
The whole project was written in Processing and makes use of Toxiclibs, controlP5, and ProScene.
You can find a full write up of the project here:
http://www.hero-design.com/2012/03/22/voronoi-bookshelf-prototype-experiment-interactive-generative-design/
The application and source code can be download here:
http://www.hero-design.com/portfolio/generative-voronoi-bookshelf/
There is a tutorial video here:
https://vimeo.com/38971706
This project is still in progress and this is all beta code. But I'm sure it's ready for some others to play with.
I designed this so anyone could make one, and I'd love to get the reaction of others in the community and hopefully someone will make one!
