Circle operations uses Hoopsnake to recursively generate ever smaller circles in very precise patterns. The definition uses the previous circle to determine the new radius and location for the following circle. The radius is divided by a factor, changing this factor alters…
For those who don’t know, hoopsnake is a component for grasshopper that allows the user to perform recursive operations. This has been consistently on the wishlist for features within grasshopper. This is the first time I’ve been able to experiment…
This is the final product of our interconnected wall experiment, minus the interconnecting bit. Due to time and access to the router this was the most that could be completed. The process after it was cut on the router involved…
This definition is very simple, but incredibly useful. It sorts a series of points based on distance and then creates connections based on that list. The only slider in the definition is used to control the number of connections that are allowed. The purpose of…
The interconnected wall stems from work originally proposed by Erwin Hauer, this example has been reworked in grasshopper and tested physically on a cnc milling machine. The definition is used to design panels which do not collide with each other. It uses curves…
This definition was designed to facet any surface, into a grid that can the be divided up into perforated panels. I’ve included the grasshopper file for people to play with, all thats required from rhino’s end is a series of curves to…
This little macro is really sweet for skewing rhino models into axonometrics. Its important to note however that this will actually skew your model, save your model before you do this. Just paste the following text into your menu bar:…
In my previous articles, my exploration of flocking has remained in the realm of a diagram. This iteration is the first step in taking those conceptual thoughts and brining them to a more architectural level. My previous diagrams generated a logic. …
This Grasshopper definition uses a grid of points to generate a series of curves that respond to an attractor point. This definition is a great example of using really simple and basic concepts of parametrics to accomplish a more complicated goal. Essentially, all…
I’ve just uploaded a new tutorial based around the grasshopper plug-in for rhino, Louver Tutorial. For those who don’t know about grasshopper, visit this link (Grasshopper). In short, grasshopper is a plug-in for rhino that is used to generate parametric…
