So, what will you learn in this new grasshopper architecture tutorial for parametric architecture?
First, we’ll show you how to use grasshopper 3d and rhino 3d to establish a 3d loft surface from multiple curves and set up a 2d voronoi geometry on a plane and use it to create faceted surface on generated forms/surfaces to create a parametric facade design in grasshopper to use it for parametric modeling and parametric design.
Next, you’ll go through the grasshopper scripting process or grasshopper definition to manipulate this voronoi designed faceted surface with established points in grasshopper 3d and and apply the algorithm to more surfaces making them into faceted forms, basically the surface that you can manipulate with number sliders. This is an example of parametric design and parametric architecture.
Rhinoceros is a 3d modeling software for architects and designers, and grasshopper is a plugin that is used for virtual scripting for parametric modeling and parametric design in architecture for creating parametric facade for building designs. This process is also called computational design and generative design.
This is a grasshopper rhino tutorial and you will go through this rhino grasshopper scripting for 3d parametric design. Check out more architecture tutorials for grasshopper 3d and rhino 3d tutorials from our parametric architecture playlist. These lessons will take you from beginner in grasshopper/rhino to advanced level.

[@ArchAnime]

thank you so much for putting this out!

[@architutors]

Thanks for watching. Cheers.

[@GrossesBlasorchester]

Cool thank you!

[@architutors]

Glad it was helpful.

[@emirhantetik1996]

Hello, can you make a video explaining the common grasshopper commands and what they are used for?

[@architutors]

Yes we're working on interactive sessions for grasshopper and rhino, specifically for beginners. We'll be posting them very soon on our RUclips channel. Stay tuned.

Completely new to Grasshopper here but have been binging on your videos. Thanks for doing them. Just one question, is it possible to import an obj into rhino to turn into a developed surface then apply all of these fun voronoi/geodesic surfacing techniques to it?
I’ve been looking everywhere for videos on importing mesh assets to grasshopper but haven’t found anything. Thanks for the amazing tutorials!

[@architutors]

Its possible but it depends on from which software you're importing the geometry. For example, grasshopper doesn't tend pick any geometry imported from sketchup into rhino. So you may have to try and see if how it responds importing geometry from any other software.

[@amitfernandes4367]

@@architutors thanks for the response! It would mostly be 3D scans cleaned up in meshmixer and models made in Fusion360. I’ll give it a shot. Are there any tutorial you can direct me to?

Ciao, complimenti per il tutorial... va dritto al punto! Volevo chiederti una cosa, quando le sfaccettature avvolgono la superficie, nel punto di giunzione si crea un disallineamento dei punti. Esiste un modo per unire i punti di partenza con quelli finali creando una sfaccettatura seamless? Grazie ancora.

[@architutors]

You can use Cap Holes component to combine the geometry produced.

[@smerel]

Thank you for this tutorial! Is there a way to make the surface seam less noticable?

[@forrestgill-ehlen1586]

You can probably just go in and move the individual vertices to align with one another once baked.

[@momenatef3218]

is there a tutorial that can help me to make parametric triangles or pyramids ...a series of changes in triangles or pyramids...or how to make a series of changes in any geometric shape in general

[@architutors]

You can use Lunchbox tools to make more triangular shapes or panels. Though we'll do a tutorial on it.

Good tutorial, look at minute 4:46, in the contour of the right part of the tangential surface, you can see some raised excesses, a kind of vertical axis seam, how can they be eliminated? I saw that at minute 5:15 you raised the Slider of the Domino W from 0.25 to 0.70, theoretically I know why, a Vonoroi maximum-geodesic circle reaches out where the displacement height in the Z axis reaches to intersect that pseudogeodic cut or quasi-geodesic so it may be solved simply by giving more or less height to the displacement in the Z axis of the points that come from the plane geometry of the Vonoroi, same points that were raised, just at minute 2:58 in the Factor of movement in height Z axis. But I already moved numerical quantities in all Sliders and this problem is not solved.
