Introduction to Grasshopper 3D

What is Grasshopper 3D? What is Parametric Design? What types of solutions can we achieve using different tools? How can I register, download, and install the latest version of this tool? How can I launch the Grasshopper interface and navigate its basic functions? How can I program a basic algorithm? What other solutions does Grasshopper offer? These are some of the questions I'll answer for you for FREE in less than two hours.

Grasshopper 3D is a programming language created by David Ruttern at Robert McNeel & Associates and released as a plug-in for Rhinoceros 3D in 2008. It is part of the flow-based programming (FBP) paradigm and is a visual programming language that enables the generation of algorithms in an intuitive and practical way, making it possible to visualize results in real time, one of the reasons why it became popular among designers, architects, engineers and related fields. In addition to being an intuitive and easy-to-use tool, the creative possibilities and solutions it offers are virtually unlimited, and these possibilities can be further expanded through plugins, add-ons and external tools that give Grasshopper an infinite number of applications.

Welcome! I'm Valentyn-Vladyslav Kotsarenko, an architect with a Master's degree and experience as a BIM Coordinator. In addition to having more than 16 years of experience in 3D-related topics and more than 10 years teaching various digital tools to students, I have had the opportunity to collaborate on various architectural, parametric, BIM, visualization, animation, industrial, graphic, engineering and design projects, among various explorations that have given me capacity in the line of architectural design, 3D modeling, BIM, animation, graphic design and related topics. Likewise, I have experience training in universities, companies and private groups in the use and implementation of various solutions, seeking to promote and optimize work and production processes as much as possible, and on this occasion I will guide you.

This course represents the first step in a series of pedagogically structured training courses. If you have no knowledge of Grasshopper 3D and are looking to explore the possibilities offered by this great tool with the integration of powerful techniques and functions under a structured workflow, this training is for you.

Throughout this training:

• I will introduce you to the world of Parametric Design.

• I will explain what is Grasshopper 3D and how does it work.

• I will explain the various advantages and possibilities the tool offers.

• I will teach you how to register, download, and install the software for 90 days.

• I will explain the interface and navigation of this tool.

• I will guide you through the basic commands and functions of this tool.

• I will teach you how to program your first algorithms.

• I will explain how to generate Grasshopper geometry in Rhinoceros.
