This video is by Dr. Eyal Nir the creator of ParaCloud and is the first video demonstrating ParaCloud GEM - a 3D pattern modeler.
Over the next few weeks I’ll also be investigating the potential crossovers between the ParaCloud products and Grasshopper to extend the possibilities of generative design.
This is the first of a couple of videos I’ll be posting by Dr. Eyal Nir the creator of ParaCloud — a software that converts Microsoft Excel™ spreadsheets into a powerful generative and associative modeling and analysis application, and ParaCloud GEM - a 3D pattern modeler. ParaCloud products extend common CAD software capabilities with minimal changes to working habits and defines a new way of communication.
