Rhino - Grasshopper
jump to: course objectives, course outline, after this course, reviews
Grasshopper, as a plugin for the Rhinoceros 3D modeling package, is a visual programming editor that requires no programming or scripting knowledge but takes advantage of Rhino's existing tools.
In our course we focus on new ways to expand and control the 3D design and modeling processes, including generating geometry through mathematical functions and quickly making changes to complex models with it's flow-chart style commands.
By the end of this course, you will master design operations like bending, stacking, weaving, scaling, folding etc..; you will know how to paneling-mesh primitives and complex geometries. You will understand the Grasshopper - Revit workflow.
Course Objectives
Targeted towards architects, this Rhino-Grasshopper course aims to improve your modeling .
5 main objectives:
| What's an algorithm, dealing with input data and using data matching | |
| Familiarity with mathematical and logical functions. | |
| Analyze curves and surface data. | |
| Working with transformations. | |
| Manipulate the Data Tree. |
Prerequisites
The course is aimed at middle management and architects, designers and students who know 3D modeling, but want to develop parametric design models.
Apart from competency in computer literacy, basics in 3D modeling and Rhinoceros in particular ( Rhinoceros, 3-D modeler software ) are required.
If you are not sure about your level, please get in touch with your instructor for an assessment of your current skills.
You will need your own workstation or laptop with the software installed and working.
For other hardware requirements please contact your instructor.
