GRASSHOPPER RIPPLES


This definition creates ripples on surfaces

LOGIC
1. Create a surface to ripple
2. Create Geometry to cause the ripples
3. Pull surface divisions to geometry
4. Measure distance between original points and pulled points
5. Apply a Sine graph to the distance
6. Move points in Z direction based on sine logic
7. Rebuild surface with new points

GH Version
0.9.0014



Tip
Geometry for ripple source can be many things (points, curves, breps, ect)
even at the same time. Switch graph types for new results. Invert the
patterns by remapping the data for new results. The higher the original
surface division, the smoother the resulting rippled surface. For non flat 
surfaces to ripple, move points in normal direction rather than z.
