Second Time with Grasshopper

For the past week, we've been continuing our practice with Grasshopper. Our assignment is to create a parametric definition, and with that create 3 unique iterations of a 2D pattern. See my drawings below.






I definitely still need some practice in this program. While I'm able to follow along in class, when it comes to creating definitions on my own, it's a complete guessing game. I do attempt to have a direction, but I can't seem to figure it out and I just end up trying to plug functions into other functions until something interesting happens. Hopefully it will start to click for me soon.

First Time with Grasshopper

Image
We're back from winter break, and starting a new class that focuses on algorithmic and parametric object design. For our first class, we are learning the basics of the program Grasshopper. Below is how my design looked once the tutorial was complete. I found the tutorials pretty easy to follow. I started to play around a bit with the more components and functions to come up with a 3D design. I don't feel I got very far with my exploration. I wasn't quite sure exactly how to proceed with what was built. I played around with the components we learned in class last week, but had issues making connections and found myself with many warnings that I wasn't sure how to fix. I definitely need to watch some more tutorials.

Parametric (WEIRD) Furniture Concepts

Image
For this week's post, we were asked to draft some concepts for a furniture design using definitions in Grasshopper. See my concept below Most of the ideas I came up with were shelves. I decided to move forward with a shelf idea that I felt could be manipulated the most drastically. I'm hoping that with this design I could manipulates the following attributes, while still creating a somewhat function shelf design: - shelf size and thickness - location of shelf planks (x,y,z) - placement of poles - poles thickness and length
