function - midpoint | rhinoscript - python

In this tutorial I cover a basic introduction to functions and create one to generate a mid-point from the end points of a line. Script can be downloaded here. Total Length:17.32

point matrix | rhinoscript - python

This tutorial covers the use of dictionary to create a point matrix with a keyed index. This allows one to later access any point in the matrix through these key values or through an equation. I demonstrate how to use this to create variable 2D patterns. The script can be downloaded here. Length:32.25

origami | rhinoscript - python

This is the first tutorial that covers rhinoscript | python. It is essentially a redo of the origami project - originally created in grasshopper. It might be a bit advanced for those that don't know a little bit about scripting - as I skip over the fundamentals. In the future I will add more scripting tutorials that will cover the basics of rhinoscript | python. The script can be downloaded here. Total Length: 52.58

Parametric Origami

Tutorial covers the development of a parametric system for creating origami type forms - which can ultimately be unfolded and fabricated from sheet stock material. Total Length: 20.47

Data Trees

This tutorial describes the data tree structure in grasshopper and demonstrates a few methods for manipulating the structure using tree and list tools. The definition is available here. Total Length: 30.58

Kitchen Tent | Parametric Project

This is a video of a current project in our office, area.architecture, in which we developed a parametric system in grasshopper to manipulate the overall form - which will have to negotiate a tightly wooded site and respond to particular sun and wind directions. After the main regulating lines are developed in GH a Rhinoscript is run to create the structure. The structure will eventually be clothed in sailcloth. See the area website for more details on the project - which is ongoing. Note: this video is without sound. Total Length 5.45

Shifting Fins

The system produced in this tutorial helps explain vectors and their use in manipulating line direction. Total Length: 20.07
