WEEK 06 | 31.10.17

Aldo Sollazo made the introduction to this topic which is completely interesting for me because it is about programming to create new shapes and patterns.

RHINOCEROS & GRASSHOPPER

I am familiar with rhinoceros program but not with grasshopper so this weekly assignment was quite challenging for me because I had to learn as fast as I could how to design with grasshopper and how to use some common definitions that I will show you lines below.

Firstly, it was very helpful that Aldo guided us through the grasshopper environment and taught us how to create some patterns based on some designs he had worked on. For this, he gave us 3 video tutorials to let us be familiar with grasshopper and the huge possibilities that it has to create patterns and complex shapes.

Here you can find Aldo's grasshopper tutorials for beginners

SOME RESEARCH

I started watching more tutorials on youtube about creating patterns with grasshopper and I found a great channel. I even chat with the guy who made those videos and asked him any question I had during my process of learning. Aaron is so kind and his tutorials helped me to complete my final design.

Here is Aaron channel called Om. (grasshopper tutorials)

Here you can find some free .gh files with some definitions

Here you will find a dynamic catalog of over 100 annotated Grasshopper definitions and representations of its potential for the beginning to advanced Grasshopper user.

Here I compiled most of the definitions and GHA that I found in my research and gathered them in my drive.
