SuperDelaunay is a Grasshopper plugin designed for generating weighted Delaunay triangulations and Power Diagrams within Rhino. This computational tool provides advanced geometric capabilities for generating weighted Delaunay triangulations and Power Diagrams, also known as Laguerre diagrams. The plugin is engineered to handle complex tessellation tasks that go beyond standard geometric operations. It exposes specific components within the Grasshopper environment, allowing users to manipulate point clouds with individual weights to influence the resulting cell sizes and boundary distributions. The logic allows for precise control over geometric subdivisions, making it an essential utility for architects and designers working on intricate facade patterns, structural lattices, or complex spatial distribution models.
The download is a 184 KB file containing .ZIP files.
To integrate this tool, place the plugin file into the Grasshopper components folder and restart Rhino. Once loaded, the new components appear in the Grasshopper toolbar, ready to be dropped onto the canvas. Users connect point inputs and weight values to generate the geometric outputs dynamically. The resulting meshes or curves can then be baked or further manipulated using standard Rhino geometry tools to refine the final form for structural or visual analysis.
Professional computational designers and architects use this plugin for high-level form-finding and rationalising complex surfaces in residential, urban, and industrial projects. It is particularly effective for developing non-standard architectural skins, site-responsive masterplanning layouts, or complex structural infill patterns. By leveraging weighted tessellation, designers can create organic yet mathematically grounded aesthetic solutions that adapt to specific site constraints or programmatic requirements. It is a vital asset for those pushing the boundaries of generative design and digital fabrication in contemporary practice.
