Hoopsnake Experiments:Circle Operations

Hoopsnake Experiments:Circle Operations

December 24, 2011 · by morrow.liam · in Grasshopper, Tutorials

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…

Hoopsnake Experiments:Mesh Splitting

Hoopsnake Experiments:Mesh Splitting

December 22, 2011 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Grasshopper, Tutorials

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…

Interconnected Loops: Part 2

Interconnected Loops: Part 2

May 31, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

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…

Optimize Connections

Optimize Connections

May 30, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Tutorials

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…

Interconnected Loops: Part 1

Interconnected Loops: Part 1

May 28, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture, Tutorials

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…

Tutorial Update:Perforated Panels

Tutorial Update:Perforated Panels

February 25, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Tutorials

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…

Rhino Trick: Axonometric

Rhino Trick: Axonometric

February 16, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Tutorials

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:…

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 3

Flocking:Birds and the Like Part 3

February 12, 2010 · by morrow.liam · in Architecture

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. …

Tutorial:Circle Panels

Tutorial:Circle Panels

December 19, 2009 · by morrow.liam · in Tutorials

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…

Tutorial Update:Grasshopper Louvers

Tutorial Update:Grasshopper Louvers

November 26, 2009 · by morrow.liam · in Tutorials

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…
