Learning “Rhino / Grasshopper” is hard and that’s because its a programming language! But don’t panic! We have more than 7 Years of experience in teaching Grasshopper to Architectural students. In Parametric House we have weekly video tutorials about different subjects. Check them out here!
Parametric Stars
In this Point Attractor tutorial, we will use a point to deform a star shape. First, we will use a base surface, divide it into rectangular panels and then study the basics behind the star pattern. We will use the point attractor to move the star points in their lines and change their shapes.
Cairo Tessellation
In this Grasshopper Mesh+ tutorial, we will use the Cairo Tiling component to produce a Cairo Tessellation. First, we will use the component to model the base mesh and then we will use the Weaverbird Plugin to give the lines some thickness.
Gyroid Minimal Surface
In this tutorial, we will model the Gyroid Minimal surface in Grasshopper. First, we will study the equation of the Isosurface which will produce the Gyroid and then we will use the Millipede and Weaverbird Plugin to finish the final mesh.
Kangaroo Curve Collide
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo tutorial we will study how we can collide a series of particles with a curve. First we will produce a series of random points and define them as spheres for collision and then we will use curve collide to detect the collison.
Do you want to learn Grasshopper step by step and from the beginning? We have made a series of lessons and techniques which will help you to develop your algorithmic thinking faster & we have called It the “Paracourse“! We have weekly tutorials! Take a look at the Latest Lessons here.
Origami Basics
In this Paracourse lesson, we will study how to model origami in Grasshopper by using the Kangaroo plugin. First, we will study a simple hinge simulation in Grasshopper and then take it to the logic behind negative/positive bending hinges in Origami by modeling the folding model of Albahar Tower module.
Pinch ‘n’ Spread
In this ParaCourse lesson, we will study the Pinch n Spread component of the Pufferfish plugin and how we can use it to morph a series of strips on a Nurbs surface.
Geodesic Dome
In this Paracourse Lesson, we will model a Geodesic Dome in Grasshopper. First, we will use a Plugin to make the Baselines and then we will use advanced techniques to make the lines into polygons and thicken the dome.
Cairo Tiling
In this Paracourse lesson, we will use advanced logic to model the Cairo tesselation from scratch. First, we will Study the pattern and then we will use several data management components to model the final mesh and give it thickness.
