Master parametric design in Grasshopper from Rhino basics to topics, exploring surfaces, attractors, Voronoi, Delaunay, metaballs, meshes, fractals, Kangaroo plugin, 2D and 3D patterns, textiles and jewelry, and data structures.
Master Rhino interface basics: templates, units, saving files, and the four viewports; configure meters, 0.01 tolerance, and display modes; navigate with orbit and pan.
Explore the gumball tool in Rhino and Grasshopper to move, copy, rotate, scale, and mirror objects, and manage reference objects and trimmed versus untrimmed surfaces.
Learn Grasshopper workflows for creating points and lines, drawing circles by perimeter and radius, and using series, range, move, panels, gene pool, and domain to parametrize geometry.
Divide curves into points, connect to a single point, and compare longest versus shortest list behaviors. Use cross reference, wrap, and dispatch patterns to create cross and zigzag lines.
Analyze the project curves, define domains with range, construct points, graph-map waves, and build surfaces through loft and edge surface, then bake with custom preview and color swatch in Rhino.
Learn to use graph mapper in grasshopper to map a series of points via x range, adjust control points, and generate y and z coordinates with bezier or sine-style graphs.
Scale the grid cells and rotate them toward a curve. Use centroids, vector two points, and orient direction to project and align each cell with the path.
Create modular facade by generating surfaces and triangular panels, then control panel heights with point attractors, using dispatch patterns and remap to form a dynamic sine-like gradient.
Explore how to model a modular facade in Grasshopper from a surface to diamond panels, scale and cut them with domain, sub curves, and point tractors.
Explore modeling parametric forms in Grasshopper by mirroring and joining item lists, assigning variable radii with range and construct domain, then lofting, twisting, and paneling surfaces.
Explore modeling parametric form using the twin curve command in Grasshopper, creating two circles on different planes, interpolating curves, lofting surfaces, and generating panels through patterning and offset operations.
Demonstrates creating 2D patterns in Grasshopper and Rhino, from midpoints and arcs to bezier spans, rotating with random seeds, mapping onto surfaces, and converting to pipes for 3D pattern design.
Learn a Grasshopper workflow to design a hexagonal ceiling pattern in Rhino. Build a hex grid, create triangular panels, extrude, project onto a surface, and loft to finish.
Note: This is not just a typical Grasshopper course teaching you how to use components — it’s a deeply structured, project-based journey that shows you how to design real parametric systems, apply optimization tools, and understand the full potential of data-driven architecture in Rhino.
– What separates a designer who only knows Grasshopper from one who creates real architectural solutions with it?
– How can parametric modeling techniques actually improve project efficiency and design performance?
– What skills do you need in Rhino + Grasshopper to land a job or build a strong portfolio?
In this course, you'll learn how to build advanced parametric systems in Grasshopper, use attractors, design facades, optimize forms with Galapagos, simulate behavior with Kangaroo, and much more.
We cover topics from surface modeling and data structure management to generative algorithms and environmental analysis — all inside Rhino.
Whether you're a beginner or want to refine your design logic and creative coding skills, this course gives you a complete learning path from basic to advanced parametric thinking.
