Preview from the original source by Architectural Solutions3D (YUKI MATSUDA / Architectural Solutions Design Office)

Overview

Architectural Solutions3D (Yuki Matsuda, Architectural Solutions Design Office) publishes the .gh file used in this video on GitHub as a free download. The definition arranges cylinders in a checkerboard pattern on a flat ceiling and controls their extrusion length by the distance from a reference curve that acts as a line attractor, with the grid pitch, cylinder radius and minimum and maximum heights set by sliders.

The repository contains the .gh and a Rhino .3dm file and is released under the MIT License. The stated environment is Rhinoceros 8 with Grasshopper.
