In this firefly grasshopper tutorial, I will answer one of our user’s questions. The tutorial is in two sections. First I will explain how you can make animations in grasshopper and second we will talk about how to visualize sound in grasshopper
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, I will show you how you can panel a surface with lunchbox. First I will show you how to make different surfaces in Rhino with 5 different techniques and then I will show you how to panel them. These 5 short tutorials will help you learn Lunchbox for grasshopper easier!
In this Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial, I will model the rotating circular panels of the RMIT Design Hub Building. First, we will take a look at the building’s facade and how its constructed. Then we will make the circles in Rhino and then export them into Grasshopper and start rotating them based on a point attractor. We will also model the rotating axis of the windows.
In this grasshopper tutorial, I will model a facade louver system based on scaling. First I will divide the facade into louvers and then I will extract the lines and scale them based on the height of the surface.
If you are new and want to get started with the tutorials you can watch this introduction video to learn about the tips and tricks you can use to make the Grasshopper Canvas easier to work with! you can also download the Bifocals plugin to see the component name on the top and learn easier!
In this Grasshopper tutorial, I will model the Bejing Water Cube in Grasshopper. First I will explain the steps we have to take to reach the final model and then I will explain the steps one by one. We will start with a shell box and then use Voronoi3d to produce the results.
Orient Direction is a tool which can perform 3 different transformations on geometry. You can Move, Rotate and Scale. In this example, I will show how you can do this by a point and a set of rectangles and use point attractor to change…
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial, I will model something similar to the ONE Teahouse / MINAX Architects. First, we will define a box and a sphere. Then we will scale NU the sphere so we can control the shape. If we divide the surface of the scaled Sphere into points, Project these points on to the Box and connect them we will have a series of parametric lines which we can finally turn them into a box.
In this grasshopper tutorial, we will make a parametric surface by using the tween curve tool and a repeating pattern. First, we learn how to make a series of curves between two curves and then we move them by a repeating pattern to make a surface.
In this Rhino Grasshopper Tutorial, we will use the Delaunay Mesh component to model different smooth meshes. First, we will define random points and connect them bt Delaunay mesh and then by using the Weaverbird plugin, we will smooth the final result.
In this video tutorial, I will show how you can use sine or cosine tool to produce parametric curves in grasshopper. First we will do a bit of research about the sine curve and then we will use the combination of sine and cosine to produce advanced curves.
In this video tutorial, I will explain how you can extract a parametric point from a surface by using the evaluate surface tool. First I will explain the u,v point concept and then I will use a MD slider tool to extract a point from a surface.
In this Grasshopper Tutorial I will show you how you can produce a parametric surface by using the Mirror curve tool and arc sections. We will use the sweep2 tool to make the surface and the Lunchbox pluging to produce the panels.
This is the first video in the “Parametric Modeling & Design” series. In this video, we will have a quick review of the Arboskin Project. First, we will talk about how the project has been made and look at some details. Then we will talk about a simple Grasshopper algorithm and how you can model the pyramid and slice it with a rotating plane.
In this grasshopper tutorial, I will answer one of our YouTube channel users about the kangaroo plugin. First, we will talk about the basics of kangaroo Physics and then we will remodel a parametric tensile surface in kangaroo2.
In this Parametric Design & Modeling video I’m going to talk about the Mercedes Benz Stadium and how you can model it in Grasshopper. First we will study the mechanism and then we will remodel it in Grasshopper.
In this Rhino tutorial, I will show you how you can easily model the Boiler suit facade in Rhino. First I will explain about the main panels and how we can model them and then I will model the corner panels and entrance.
In this Grasshopper Tutorial, I will teach you how to use the twist command in Rhino 6. I will explain how twist works with a simple twisting Box around a parametric Axis
In this tutorial, I will explain how you can model a series of boxes with different heights based on a point attractor and then morph a module in them. This tutorial will help you cover a surface with a desired 3d module.
In this Lunchbox grasshopper tutorial, I will show you how you can make complete diamond panels on a closed NURBS surface. First, we will use the lunchbox plugin to produce the panels and then we fix the triangle panels by combining them into diamonds and finally combine them back together.
In this Grasshopper Voronoi attractor tutorial, I will show you how you can produce point attractors for Voronoi cells. First, we will make the desired boundaries and then populate points in them to increase the number of Voronoi cells.
This laser cut design video is going to show you how you can make a parametric pendant lamp in Grasshopper and use the algorithm to produce dxf files for laser cutting. You can easily bake the boundaries and save the file as dxf files and fabricate the Lamp.
In this Grasshopper Tutorial, I will talk about the substrate command which you can find in the Mesh, Triangulation menu. First I will explain the inputs and then I will combine it with surface split and random extrusion to show you a simple example of how you can use it.
In this video tutorial I will use the Per frames tool to produce a parametric pattern on a curve in grasshopper. You will learn how to use the frames by deconstructing them and using their main vectors to move the origing of the planes.
