In this Paracourse lesson, we are going to model a wavy facade in Grasshopper. First, we are going to model the strips and then by using the curve attractor technique and some data management tricks we will model the louvers.

In this grasshopper definition you can model a parametric sine wave surface and then use Paneling Tools to divide it into a grid and use a point attractor to deform the grid.
In this definition you can model a parametric surface which is basically controlled by a series of circles with different radiuses and locations. At the end you can have the sections for fabrication.
In this grasshopper definition you can model a simple parametric rotating mechanism. you can actually change the handle's length , width and also control the rotation speed.
In this definition you can model a parametric fractal based on circles.In each step the circles scale down and cover a portion of the circle's circumference.
In this definition you can model a parametric joint connection for a network of lines. The connection can be 3d printed and by defining sleeves for the pipes you can insert them in the nodes.
In this defintion you can model a parametric wave like structure and two waffle parts which can hold those sections together.
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to model a parametric interlocking pattern. First we are going to start with a base grid (Hexagons) and then make the parametric connections with Nurbs curves.
In this definition you can model a fractal based on a square which builds two smaller squares on one of its edges.
In this grasshopper definition by using the Parakeet Plugin you can model a radial scissor mechanism by defining the number of elements , width , size and also the radius of the holes which connect the elements together.
In this definition you can model a parametric 3D wall pattern based on scaling edges of a rectangle grid and also moving the center of these edges.
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.
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.
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.
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to remodel the filzfelt scale wall panels in grasshopper and make them parametric.
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to remodel the filzfelt scale wall panels in grasshopper and make them parametric.
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.
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.
In this grasshopper definition you can generate a parametric surface with different truchet patterns. By using Jitter to change the index of the Twisted boxes you can model different patterns
In this Paracourse Lesson we are going to model a parametric facade made by random triangles. First we will model the basics and then we will extract the windows and the frames and orient them on the ground for the final step.
In this grasshopper definition by offsetting and scaling one of the Parakeet's Tiling components (patterns) you can create different patterns. this grasshopper definition uses Parakeet and Weaverbird plugins.
In this grasshopper definition by creating relative tangent spheres which revolve around each other you can create different spirograph patterns in 3d space you can also use Dendro plugin to convert these complex curve to volume.
In this definition we have remodeled the Rising Chair by Robert van Embricqs in Grasshopper3d. First we have made a rectangle and then by two parametric curves the bending of the parts will be defined.
In this definition you can make a simple Waffle bookshelf without using any plugins, First, the 3d boxes are modeled based on thickness and depth and then the details are modeled in several steps.
In this definition we will use Perlin noise as the base deformation of a sphere. Perlin noise is a type of gradient noise developed by Ken Perlin in 1983.

Hi there! I have a question on making wavy facade on a looped surface (like the attached image) instead of a plane surface.
Since the attractor attracts all points at one direction (say either x or y-axis), how can I define the closest points go to the closest points??
Thank you!

Hi Angie
Please watch this tutorial for more info

For the distance, you can use the Geodesic component to find the shortest path on the surface and use the curve’s length for your rotation but be aware it’s a slow process
