To fine tune the geometry of the pavilion we manipulate the lists we already defined. In this video we trim the end of the geometry to end with both sides of the pavilion in symmetry. Lists are an...

After the curve geometry of the pavilion is established we revolve it into a surface. Here we discuss how to create a surface using the revolve method and issues to consider.  The curve...

With the PolyArc set up, we can adjust the geometry dramatically by setting a new tangent vector. In this video we discuss tangent vectors and how to control them.

Once the series of points is set up, we create a curve of continuous polyarcs through them. The radius and direction of these arcs can be changed, along with the base series of points we already...

The next tool we use to dynamically update items is the Series. Here we set up a series of points that will become the 'wavelengths' for the Hannover Pavilion modules.  The Series...

In this series we explore the power of lists to drive parametric changes in the Hannover Pavilion from early on in the design to precise details. This first video explains how lists work and gives...

We start off by installing the Grasshopper plug-in to Rhino.

We survey the issues of constructability versus the ease of creating digital surfaces with the options we've learned.

We explore the Loft, Sweep, and Patch commands to create surfaces.

Here we start to manipulate Curves and use a NetworkSurface to define a canopy.

With the curves set up, we start creating canopy surfaces.

Here we look at the different type of curves and how they are mathematically constructed with control points.

With the framework set up, we create new edges with different types of freeform curves and beziers.

In this video continue the framework with copying and rotating our lines into place.  With the poles in place we start to explore Arcs.

This is the first video in a series of our Introduction to Computational Design class.  We will start out with Rhino and Grasshopper and get into Python scripting.  Session One is an...

The process of taking solids or surfaces from Rhino to 3ds Max is a little tricky to say the least. In this video I'll talk about how to mesh surfaces and solids in Rhino for better exporting...

Have you ever needed to export curves from Rhino to 3ds Max? In this video I'll talk about how to export curves from Rhino and the various files types you can use (.dwg, .igs).  From there...

Recently Ball State University's i.M.A.D.E  has posted a series of new Grasshopper tutorials on their website. From the i.M.A.D.E  website: i.M.A.D.E acts as a catalyst of digital...

Grasshopper tutorial showing how to create a data tree of strings which are used to create different louver configurations on a rectangular panel facade. Fun_With_Sets.ghx   Tutorial.pdf...

This is an update to the original Grasshopper truss tutorial, hopefully it solves a lot of the issues presented from using a newer version of grasshopper. If you or your firm is looking for...
