Simple Polygon
In this definition you can make a fractal rotating polygon by using the Anemone plugin. First we are going to explode the curve to its segments and then evaluate a point on the edges. This recursive algorithm will produce the final rotating polygons.
Rotating Tower
In this Grasshopper definition you can use the Anemone Plugin to rotate a tower around itself. First we will define the rotation and scaling factor and then we will extrude the base square to model the tower.
Triangular Subdivision
In this Grasshopper Definition by using the Anemone plugin you can model a recursive pattern that connects each corner of the face to the center. You can also Mesh+ & Weaverbird to prepare a mesh or a Nurbs surface for the division process.
Islamic Pattern
In this definition you can model a parametric Islamic Pattern which is based on connecting the center of Triangular grid to a point located on edges and then connect that point to their neighboring corner.

Panther
Panther by Panther Technologies combines the most versatile Jewelry Builders with an Interactive Gallery bringing premeditated parts to go into construction of a complete final piece.
Robotics for Designers
This paper by Andrew Payne proposes the use of a new set of software tools, called Firefly, paired with a low-cost five-axis robotic motion controller. This serves as a new means for customized tool path creation and realtime evaluation of parametric designs.
Particle Noise
In this grasshopper definition you can make particles move through a Perlin noise effect made from Noise 4d Plugin and a loop which is generated by Anemone.
4D Noise
4D Noise component by [email protected] creates Perlin and Simplex noise. This add-on forms smooth 4D Perlin noise and Simlex noise, two very well-known smooth noise functions investigated by Ken Perlin.

In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to remodel the filzfelt scale wall panels in grasshopper and make them parametric.
5- Rotating Tower
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to remodel the filzfelt scale wall panels in grasshopper and make them parametric.
Hypercube
In this grasshopper definition you can model the shadow of a hypercube(tesseract). In geometry, a hypercube is an n-dimensional analogue of a square and a cube.
Curves Cocoon
In this grasshopper definition we have used the Cocoon plugin to create a voxelized mesh with a set of custom curves and a series of parameters which can change the parametric shape.
6- Truchet Tile Pattern
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to model a complete 3d Truchet tiles based on pipes. First we are going to explain the logic behind the pattern and then we will model it from scratch.
Parametric Roof Shells
The aim of this study by Jolanta Dzwierzynska and Aleksandra Prokopska is to develop an original, methodical and practical approach to the early stages of parametric design of roof shells formed by repetitive modules of Catalan surfaces.
Curve 3D Evaluation
In this grasshopper definition you can model a parametric 3d curve by giving a base curve.

Parakeet by Esmaeil is a collection of components focusing in Algorithmic Pattern Generation; it offers a Unique and easy-to-use approach that Generates Geometrical and Natural Patterns/Networks.
Kinetic Art #1
In this Kinetic Art tutorial, we are going to model a rotating mechanism by defining the motion of the handle and then use the intersection between circles and the railways to model the mechanism.
Circular Chain
In this grasshopper definition by extracting points from a curve and using the Curve CNR component you can create a chain of circles on a defined curve.
3D Maurer Rose
In this grasshopper definition by using the 3d Maurer rose formula and combining it with Dendro plugin you can create a parametric form. In geometry, the concept of a Maurer rose was introduced by Peter M. Maurer.
