Lesson 2:
Lesson 3
We looked at using Graphmapper and Range components as well as random point components
Lesson 4
We looked at creating surfaces through the MD Slider, remap and divide domain components.
Lesson 5
We used different list and weave components to create a “city” of boxes that were dependent on a curve. The dispatch component was used to separate data into two lists, where one set was random and one was organized.
The first image is of all the boxes organized on the curve, while the second one shows how it changed when the random components were added.
Homework:
I made the box pattern non-linear by plugging in a x^3 function from the remap component into the domain box component. It made the height not linear, but exponential instead.
Lesson 6
In this lesson, we used data trees to manipulate a surface. By grafting and flattening certain components, we could create multiple lists of data.
I then tried using the evaluate box component to further manipulate the panels on the surface.
Lesson 7
During this lesson, we learned how to evaluate UV coordinates. We evaluated curves, surfaces, meshes, and boxes and learned about manipulating local coordinates.
This is an example of evaluating 2 curves and then creating a surface between them:
I then evaluated the surface in order to create a grid above boxes along it:
I also divided a curve using different methods. The one shown below is using Sub Curve:
For the homework, I used the components to create a surface that has a unevenly divided grid:
Lesson 8
We learned about the Kangaroo2 plugin feature in Grasshopper. We used it to create several arches that were dependent on physics engine within Kangaroo.
Homework:
Lesson 9
In this lesson we used the plugins Anemone and Dendro in order to create a mesh.
Here is the progress of the curves without volume to the volume with a mesh and then the volume with the mesh hidden:
Lesson 10
I used the solver Galapagos to create variations of positions and rotations of shapes.
Lesson 11
In this lesson, we learned about different ways of creating and manipulating curves. For instance, you can use the point cylindrical or point polar component:
You can also use expressions:
Lesson 12
In this lesson, we created a facade with balconies based on the location and direction of a “Sun” vector. First we made a Cluster:
And that would feed into the main script:
With that script, a facade was created:
