This is part of the Meshing class that Dave and I are teaching at Columbia this semester.  This video introduces Lists and Data Trees.

This is a “quick” introduction to Grasshopper I did for SHoP Construction’s fall studio at NJIT run by Jon Mallie and John Cerone.  Most of the things in this video are covered in other videos on the site but it introduces a few new features added to Grasshopper.  Toward the end of the tutorial we [...]

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 [...]

This video covers the basics of the Data Tree in the latest version of grasshopper v0.06012.
