Rhino Grasshopper Tutorials

Arboskin

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.

Noisy Weave

In this grasshopper definition, you can generate a Perlin noise on a pattern and use it for weaving the parameters. you can also use weaverbird to smooth the result.

Rotating Image Panels

In this grasshopper exercise file, you can learn how to rotate a series of panels based on an image. You can also extract an arc based on the angle of rotation.

Weave Mesh Pattern

In this grasshopper exercise file, we have used a plugin to produce a wave-like mesh pattern and then use weaverbird to smooth the final result.

Python Fractal Tree

This grasshopper definition can help you model fractal trees fast.This Python fractal tree example file can also be used as an exercise for how to write fractals in python and use boolean to make your code more advanced.

Twisted Klein Bottle

In this grasshopper definition, you can model a Klein bottle using Parakeet's plugin. Then you can twist the mesh around an axis and finally create a contour from the mesh and extract the curves.

Modular Facade

In this grasshopper definition, you can use point attractors to define the distribution of a series of scaling Panels. By converting the distance between the grid centers and attractors we can pick between different modules.

Rotating Parts

In this algorithm you can simulate a series of rotating parts which fit together after closing. Number of segments, rotation degree and some form parameters can be changed.

Triangular Origami

This python component can help you fold a triangle by defining the length of the edge and the folding degree. You can check out the python code for more exercise.

Islamic Pattern

you can make a parametric Islamic pattern with this python component and by changing the point attractor you can transform the pattern in the X-Y direction.

5- Organic Pattern

In this Paracourse lesson, we are going to model an organic mesh pattern by using Mesh+ Plugin combined with Weaverbird. First, we will model the base mesh and then we can smooth it to get to the final Mesh.

3d Static Bridge

In this grasshopper definition by designing a force diagram instead of designing a form diagram of a bridge you can generate an optimized structure by using the 3D graphic static plugin.

Pinch & Spread Torus

In this grasshopper definition by using the Pinch&Spread component you can add bubble-like form to a mesh and change the form of a torus.

8- Dome Optimization

In this ParaCourse lesson, we are going to write an algorithm which produces different breeds of domes based on a sphere and then use the millipede plugin to optimize them.we will finally compare max deflection with weight to select the best solution.

Catenary Pavilion

In this grasshopper definition by generating two sets of catenary arches, you can create a parametric shell . Then you can use the mesh+ plugin to produce a weave pattern on the surface.

Parametric Swarm Fish

In this grasshopper definition inspired by Junichiro Horikawa, you can create a series of pseudo fish swarm.

Skewed Lines

In this grasshopper definition by using a rectangle's diameter and extracting two points on it you can generate a series of skewed lines.

Urban Classification

In this grasshopper definition by training a neural network using boundary curves (representing a function in an urban scale) you can use it to recognize the function of any given closed curve.

Waffle Bowl Grasshopper3d Tutorial Digital Fabrication

6- Waffle Bowl

In this ParaCourse lesson we are going to model a waffle bowl from scratch. first we are going to model a parametric surface and then use perpendicular planes to intersect and extract the main curves.

Organic Pattern

In this grasshopper definition by modeling a series of circles and generating twisted curves around them you can model a random organic pattern. Finally you can use the Dendro plugin to voxelize the curves.

Kangaroo Cloth

In this grasshopper definition designed by Daniel Piker, we will learn how to simulate the clothcollide by using kangaroo2 plugin.

Optimize Wall Covering Grasshopper Galapagos Tutorial

7- Wall Covering

In this ParaCourse lesson we are going to cover a wall with a series of modules. First we are going to use a polyline as the base of the wall and then optimize it by using Galapagos. Galapagos will find the best size for the modules and how many we need for each wall.
