Creating in Rhinoceros and Grasshopper - Tutorial

As mentioned in previous post, Grasshopper comes with Rhinoceros and helps create more complex structures using formulas and connections between objects.

1.      Run Grasshopper

2.      Vector > Grid > Populate 3D. A 3D rectangular form with randomly arranged points will show up

3.      Call Number slider by double-clicking anywhere in Grasshopper operation area and typing „Number slider“

4.      Set the number slider to numeric by right-click and edit. Set „N“ and then define minimum and maximum values, for example min. 0, max. 100.

5.      Then connect the number slider with the Pop3D

6.      Then finally, create something with Mesh > Triangulation. In this example, Voronoi 3D is chosen. Connect Population from Pop3D to Points in Voronoi 3D. The Rhinoceros will show a preview of your final product.

7.      The form is functional because it is being held in Grasshopper. In order to finalize the form in Rhinoceros, you need to bake the form. Select all, right-click and bake.
