I'm still working on my new mathematica system output, but this is one idea for aggregating some glass bubbles with a secondary sound absorbing frame.
As for my script question, I was more interested in investigating how to output a Mathematica graph system as mel programming script text - which could be run in Maya and control the tessellation/vertex connections of one model...this way seems the most rational way to use both Mathematica and traditional digital tools. Essentially, by having Mathematica generate mel text, you can have Mathemematica drive the interlacing of two systems more elegantly than our current method of "joining" two unrelated graphs together in mathematica. I put a comment under Cole's blog about how to get one graph in Mathematica to clumsily join with another graph. If you want the code to it let me know - basically it involves creating a sequence of graphs, each of which is generated off of seed data from the previous one - and since generally a lot of us are using "ringlike" start data, you can extract a sparse ring from another graph using the concept of "shortest graph path". I think this is difficult to explain without having the Wolfram-Magic interface open.
Oh yeah...That is MIA chrome on that puppy!!!!

hey thanks man-
maybe we rap a little later in class.
nice chrome. ok, as you continue to play with this, what is difficult is to see how you want to really explore it in relation to the site. that's going to be a tough question to answer when the formal conditions are all internal to the script. we know that we can't make magical intersection between site info and script. But are we sure about that? could we maybe think of a way in which we could define the site by script?
Matt, I've certainly driven rhino from it's "readCommandFile" interface and pasting snippets. I'm sure this is also possible with Mel. I think this is a great avenue to explore. I totally know what you're talking about in terms of connecting two graphs with MinPath or whatever. Surprise me Thursday. I have something to show you that i did with this as well.
