I have updated a script (WB components).…

I've just posted a new article about something I've been working on recently:

I'm quite excited about this step forward, as I think dynamically changing topology is going to open up a lot more possibilities for interesting ways of using relaxation/optimization.…

With only a few days remaining before the first Free Grasshopper webinar, we are pleased to announce that we are approaching capacity. If you would like to reserve a seat, be sure to register soon! We are looking forward to the participation of all of the forum members who have already registered.

With some of the exercises from the NON-LINEAR LAB as inspiration and in preparation for the DATA LAB, we’ve been creating some fun new content as of late. Topcs will include Advanced Data Tree Usage, Python Scripting in Grasshopper, and Exploring Add-ons such as Weaverbird and Kangaroo. Specifics can be found in the sections below. The workshop is quickly approaching and there…

Just an update on my previous Wooly Paths definition. This version sports a few key improvements but most importantly it's Grasshopper 0.9+ compatible. More info and download…

Parallel Linq seems not to be available in Grasshopper components. I found Reactive Extensions Experimental here, http://ning.it/Osud84  Just run Observable.ForkJoin(Action1,Action2,...).First(); so that Actions are executed in parallel. (Is this popular?)

I've uploaded some files and a explanation to BlurryPaths giving some advices to build field lines over surfaces.

Colouring mesh with field values in a gradient is not hard to obtain this other kind of…

Check out my latest blog post, responding to Michael Graves’ recent article in the NYT, speculating on ways that digital design practices can learn from the way drawing functions as a design tool. …

Gil and I are happy to share a collection of Grasshopper files that incrementally build up a Sectioning (a.k.a. Waffle) Structure for fabrication. We will be posting video tutorials to accompany these files in the coming month, but until then... enjoy the definitions.

This afternoon we tested a few options for materializing the Growth Systems we will be using in the Non-Linear Lab with Skylar Tibbits. The photos of the prototypes have us amped up to see what our participants will make this…
