Here is a tattoo design I am currently developing by using Grasshopper. 11 years ago, I developed a Grasshopper definition that approximates Julia Sets here. One of the experimental outputs of that definition looks suitable for a tattoo design. It is a beautiful fractal shape….

This is a basic Grasshopper exercise, covering many fundamental topics. The aim is to create the parametric model of a spiral staircase. This is more educational than functional, I guess. Below is the explanation of the Grasshopper definition in three parts. Helix Points for the…

This website explains the problem and several solutions. I managed to implement the formulas to convert a 2D square grid into spherical coordinates. The Fibonacci Sphere is one of the solutions to the equal distribution of points on a sphere. It is not the best…

This is an implementation of the famous Koch Snowflake Fractal in Grasshopper. We will be using the Anemone add-on to handle the iterations. In this fractal, we start from an equilateral triangle. Then, we form new equilateral triangles, one-third of the side. So that each…

I studied the interlocking joint details in Grasshopper here and here. This time, the interlocking structures were revisited with a cleaner code and an in-depth explanation. I believe that this is a very good educational exercise for learning the potential of the native Grasshopper components….

In this Voronoi puzzle exercise, we derive two-dimensional puzzles by using Voronoi diagrams. This is similar to my previous studies here, and here. Part 1: The Random Voronoi Diagram In section 1 of the below image, I use a rectangular region to generate random points….

Fields is a native group of components available since the very early version of Grasshopper. In today’s Design Computing class, we studied it again with the first-year design students. I studied these interesting and beautiful shapes earlier here, here, here, and here. The one you…
