Tutorial Grasshopper_ EtherealOrganics: Unleashing Complexity

Full tutorial: • Tutorial Grasshopper_ ...
Explore the limitless possibilities of Grasshopper as we craft a mesmerizing alien organic structure. Join me on this tutorial journey where we transform a simple definition into a complex SubD masterpiece-a terrain fit for an extraterrestrial landscape.
Beginning with a basic rectangle drawn in Rhino, we import it into Grasshopper's "crv" parameter. Watch as we close the curve with a hexagonal grid applied using the powerful "Lunchbox" command. To achieve the final form, I fine-tune the U and V divisions, balancing complexity and performance.
For a smoother workflow, consider starting with lower UV divisions, gradually increasing them to enhance the model's intricacy. Now, connect central points using the "Delaunay Connectivities" command, deconstructing edges to extract endpoints. Eliminate duplicates and introduce random vertical shifts to the points for a dynamic spatial distribution.
Next, apply the discovered magnitudes in the Z-direction with the "Move" command, creating a visually striking arrangement. Dive into the captivating world of 3D proximity, connecting points with nearby neighbors. Adjust the "Min Radius" to fine-tune connections, maintaining balance in your design.
Cap off the tutorial with the powerful "Multipipe" command. Set node size, strut thickness, and segmentation for the finishing touch. I assign a constant node size of 1, a 0.3 strut size for proportional elegance, and a 0.4 segmentation value for added detail.
