Lattice Structure
In this grasshopper example by defining a force diagram you can model an optimized lattice structure by using the 3D graphic static plugin.
Recursive Catenary Arches
In this grasshopper definition by creating a series of catenary arches from a base square you can model a recursive structure by using the Anemone plugin.
Mesh+ Virus
In this grasshopper definition, you can use the mesh+ Plugin to model a parametric virus-like mesh! finally, a Catmull-Clark subdivision can smooth the final result.
Game of life tower
This grasshopper definition by Mike Pryor, creates a voxelized mesh tower based on game of life.
Colorful Stripes
In this grasshopper definition by adding noise to a series of particles you can create animated strips. At last you can add colour to them,
which is also based on the noise.
Structural Wave
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a wave-like structure with graph mappers. Then you can use the Millipede plugin to analyze the form. This will give you an overview of which surfaces will give you a better parametric roof structure.
Brick Type F
In this grasshopper definition, you can use the Parakeet Plugin to cover a curved wall with a “Brick Type F” component and use the Weaverbird plugin to give it some thickness.
Rigid Body Collision
This grasshopper definition, inspired by Daniel Piker, simulates the collision between solids by using the “Kangaroo2” plugin.
2d Noise on Curves
In this grasshopper definition by generating a Noise from the “Fractals” Plugin and applying them on a series of Particles, surrounding a base circle, you can create interesting noise patterns.
Game Of Life
BY using this grasshopper definition inspired by Gediminas kiredeikis, you can model a sample of “game of life” and control the rules.
2D Venation Pattern
In this Grasshopper definition, you can define a planar closed curve and a series of points for the branching base locations. use the Shortest walk plugin to find the nearest distance between the starting point and the branches. Finally, you can give it a thickness.
Recursive Waves
In this grasshopper definition, you can create a loop that scales a base curve recursively. You can also add rotation or other transformations at the end of the loop. Finally, you can loft between the curves.
Customizable Face Mask
In this grasshopper definition, you can generate a parametric face mask by spliting parts of the face mesh and use pufferfish to give it a symmetric look. Finally, use mesh+ plugin to give it some borders.
Enneper Twist
In this grasshopper definition, you can create a series of different forms and geometries by changing the domain of a trimmed Enneper surface.
Paneling_Fabricaton
In this python definition, you can convert a Nurbs surface into a series of panels and then control the chamfering and height of the edges.
Finally you can orient them on the ground for fabrication.
Triangular Growth
In this grasshopper definition by creating a simple loop you can model growth with different repetitions.
Parametric Tornado
In this grasshopper definition by combining two vectors and using the Hetroptera plugin to add them up you can model a tornado-like motion.
Parakeet Mesh Vault
In this grasshopper definition by using one of the parakeet’s tiling you can generate a vault-like form by using Mesh+ plugin and also Weaverbird to thicken the form.
Fashion Swarm #2
In this grasshopper definition you can generate a bracelet by creating a curve based on a differential growth algorithm by using the stella plugin.
Voxel Point Charges
In this grasshopper definition you can extract the iso curves of a sphere, divide them into points and generate a form which depends on the point charges and positions. We will use the point to volume component of the Dendro plugin to voxelize the form.
Sun Path Circles
In this grasshopper definition, we will use the Ladybug Plugin to import the sun path based on an epw file and the n rotate a series of circles towards the sun.
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.
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.
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.
