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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Lunchbox Truss
In this grasshopper definition by modeling two series of parametric curves and then using the Lunchbox plugin you can model a parametric truss.
Flag Waving
In this grasshopper definition by using the kangaroo2 plugin you can simulate the wind and see how it can move the cloth.
Enneper Surface
In this Grasshopper example file you can model a parametric Enneper surface by using the Lunchbox Plugin and extracting the Iso-curves.
Ladybug Intro
In this tutorial, we are going to teach you how to use the Ladybug Plugin from scratch.
Catenary Dome
In this grasshopper definition you can create a parametric catenary dome by using Lunchbox plugin.
Net On Surface
In this grasshopper definition by using the “Net On Surface” component from Pufferfish Plugin you can create a series of interpolated curves on multiple connected surfaces and also use the Dendro plugin to give it some thickness.
Paneling Pt. Attractor
In this example file, you can use the Paneling Tools plugin to deform a grid with some point attractors and then use the Weaverbird Plugin to Give the final result some thickness.
Transformed Patterns
In this grasshopper definition you can use one of the Parakeet’s Plugin patterns. First we have transformed the pattern and then used the Millipede plugin to model a minimal surface between the two layers.
Curve Mapping
In this grasshopper definition by using the Parakeet’s pattern genotype inside an hexagon, you can model a parametric pattern model.
Sine*Cosine Frames
In this grasshopper definition you can model a wavy like frame structure around a sphere. First we will extract the vertices of the sphere and then use a Sine*Cosine function to move them around.
Particles Simulation
In this grasshopper definition, you can learn how to simulate the collision of particles by using the Flexhopper plugin.
Geometry Wrapper
In this grasshopper definition you can learn how to use the Millipede’s geometry wrapper to model a mesh around a curve and control it with different parameters.
Wave on Icosahedron
In this grasshopper definition first we model an Icosahedron by Weaverbird and then generate wave pattern on it by using Mesh+ Plugin. Finally you can also make the mesh thicker and smoother.
Brep Explosion
In this grasshopper definition first we scatter a series of random points inside a brep and then generate random vectors to cut the brep with the related planes. Finally you can move the pieces away from each other.
Kaleidoscope Pattern
In this grasshopper definition by defining a base pattern you can generate a kaleidoscope by using the Parakeet plugin.
Noise on Surface
In this grasshopper definition, you can create noise on any surface by using the Tundra plugin. For example we have used the Mobius surface component by Lunchbox plugin.
Flexhopper Cloth
In this grasshopper definition you can model a hanging cloth by using the flexhopper plugin. We also have used some components to collide a sphere with the mesh.
Minimal Surface Alternatives
In this grasshopper definition, by using the Fox & Pufferfish plugin you can model different expressions of minimal surfaces.
Triply Periodic Minimal Surface
In this grasshopper definition, you can create a voxelized shell shape by subtracting two volumes and finally model a Triply Periodic Minimal Surface.
