Tutorials/Demonstrations
These are slideshow of screen shots I made which show Rhino3D Grasshopper definitions I have written in a step by step process.
Some slides contain descriptions of Rhino3D Grasshopper operators & techniques I have developed and a few well-known techniques to
"visualize maths numerical datascapes as 3D spatial geometry”
and other cool archinerdy things in the definitions we author in Rhino3D Grasshopper.
±1—rectaoctanglegon tower
Octatower
A rectangle is the Base Seed
Domain & Range (D&R)
(D&R) sets up the Height of the object using Move and the Range is the number of divisions or floor slabs (Height/Range)
Evaluate
evaluating the curve at .5 gives you the midpoint to use for scaling the curves in a numeric pattern
Graph Mapper
GM gives you the ability to apply the graphs numeric data to geometry - scaling is from 0 to 1 (0-100%) so the graph is set from 0 to 1
Form variations

Form variations
Form variations
Endpoints to Polyline
draw a new curve at each level through the end and start points
Form variations

Loft the new closed cueves
Cap
makes it a ‘solid’ boundary rerpresentation (BRep) Non-Uniform Rule Based (NURBS) Polysurface(PSrf)

±2—The Ellipse
The Ellipse
An Ellipsoidal curve is the base seed.
D&R
we use D&R like in ±1
Area & Region Center
The Area tool lets us evaluate the Area of a closed curve and gives you the center of the curve region
GM Scaling
Using Area Center point for scaling

±3—Cruciformal
Cruciformal
A rectangle is the base seed
Rotate the rectangle to get the 2nd axis in the + cruciform shape
RUnion is a curve Boolean Union that merges the 2 rectangles into 1 closed planar curve region
Move the + using a GM
ScaleNU the + shapes using a pair of GMs
Rotate the + shapes using a GM
Rotate the + shapes using a GM
Fillet
Just to round out the +. shape corners for a smoother shape
