Soap Film Pavilion
In this advanced lesson, we are going to convert the relaxed mesh into a NURBS surface and learn how to penalize it using Weaverbird, Kangaroo, and Lunchbox.
Spiral Tornado
In this grasshopper definition you can create a spiral from intersection of a series of twisted rectangles.
Soap Box
In this grasshopper definition by Daniel Piker, you can simulate a soap film surface by using the Kangaroo 2 plugin.
Randomized Voxels
In this grasshopper definition, you can model a voxel-based Mesh with a series of random points by using the Ngon plugin combined with Weaverbird.
Star Mesh
In this grasshopper definition, you can model an organic mesh by using the Mesh+ Plugin and Weaverbird.
Differential Growth
In this grasshopper definition you can simulate differential growth, by using the SDplatform plug-in .
Fusion Mesh
In this Grasshopper Definition, you can model an iso-surface mesh by using the Ngon plugin.
Kangaroo Mesh Expansion
In this grasshopper definition we have used the kangaroo 2 Plugin combined with weaverbird to deform a mesh parametrically.
Perturbated Mesh
In this grasshopper definition, you can deform a mesh by a parametric noise using Fracturehopper Plugin.
Weaving Pattern
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a weaving pattern on a parametric revolution surface. First, we will extract a portion of the surface and convert it into a mesh. Then we will use the Mesh+ Plugin to model the Pattern.
Basket Weaving
In this grasshopper definition by Martyn Hogg, you can model a weaving basket. You can select number of weaves in X or Y directions for a flat surface. Similarly, U and V divisions on a curved surface. It also works on a loft through curves.
Parametric Fields
In this Kinetic art tutorial, we are going to model something similar to the Kinetic art at the Randall Museum. First, we are going how to use fields in grasshopper and then we will convert them into geometry.
Sine Wave Table
In this Grasshopper definition, you can model a sine wave table using Graph mappers. Then you can use the Weaverbird plugin to give it a smooth look and finally extract the sections for fabrication.
Membrane-Tensegrity
In this thesis by Ye Feng, a generic digital tool for constructing membrane- tensegrity structure will be developed by referring to the analysis of MOOM pavilion and the generic freeform tensegrity algorithm proposed by Tomohiro Tachi and his team in The University of Tokyo.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
