Kangaroo Vertices
In this grasshopper kangaroo example file, you can design a parametric tensile structure with Kangaroo 2 and then use the Leopard Plugin to have more control over the anchor points.
Surface Bumps
In this Grasshoper Lunchbox example file, you can create a 3d bump pattern on a Nurbs surface.
Optimize Nesting
in this grasshopper OpenNest example file, you can put every two peices of sections side to side to reduce the cutting length and optimize it.
Attractor Pattern
In this Grasshopper Kangaroo example file, you can generate 3d Patterns on a surface by defining point attractors.
Gyroid Shell
In this Grasshoper script, you can use the Axolotl plugin to create a parametric gyroid shell.

Mesh + (I-WP)
In this Rhino Grasshopper tutorial you can use the I-WP component from the Mesh+ Plugin to model a smooth parametric mesh
Free Tutorials
Learning Grasshopper is Hard. We have a Youtube channel full of Free Tutorials. Start from here.
Parametric Art
In this Grasshopper Minmash animation file, we have rotated a series of circles around a point and each circle has been shattered and colorized randomly.
Parametric Building
In this grasshopper example file you can design a parametric rotating building by creating a series of polygons.
Lunchbox Nurbs Roof
In this grasshopper example file You can use the Lunchbox to give a Nurbs surface random openings.
Kangaroo Elastic Tower
In this Grasshopper example file you can use the Kangaroo2 plugin to create an elastic shape-shifting tower.
Discrete Lines
In this Grasshopper example file You can use the native grasshopper components combined with the Pufferfish plugin to create a series of discrete lines.
Digital Architecture
This essay by Patrik Schumacher, refers to the use of computational design processes and their manifest effect on the architectural outcome, rendered or built.
Wormhole Library
This project by Chinese architecture studio “MAD”, has designed a library in the city of Haikou, China, that is intended “to be a wormhole that transcends time and space”.
Mesh Noise Carving
In this Grasshopper example file you can create a Noise-based parametric mesh sphere using the Nursery plugin.
pinch and spread panel
In this grasshopper example file, you can pinch & spread a series of curves based on random locations. By deforming the curves you can finally model a parametric 2D panel.
Fillet Edge
In this short grasshopper tutorial, we are going to talk about how we can use the “Fillet edge” component to fillet box edges.
Geodesic Frame
In this Grasshopper tutorial, you will learn how to use the Geodesic dome component from the Parakeet Plugin. You can combine the base mesh with the Weaverbird plugin Components to Produce the final results.
Weaverbird Weave Ball
In this Grasshopper tutorial you will learn how to model a simple smooth mesh ball by using the Weave component from the Mesh+ plugin combined with Weaverbird.
Rotating Boxes
In this short lesson you will learn how to model rotating boxes on a series of perpendicular frames from a simple curve.
Space Frame
In this short lesson we can use the “Space Truss” component from Lunchbox Plugin to model a parametric spaceframe from a Nurbs surface.
