Hi! I didn't really find a tutorial-like thing about weaverbird. For weaverbird, I would try to experience it by myself. Weaverbird is a really cool plugin with some nice operations. The good thing: most of the stuff is self explaining after a little while of try-and-error experiments! Otherwise you'll find basic tutorial in Arturo tedeschis book "parametric architecture with grasshopper". To get the basic understanding of what weaverbird does, I'd really recommend the book "Architectural Geometry", by Bentley. (http://www.architecturalgeometry.at/)

Maybe also the basic descriptions of the weaverbird functions will help you!

The last tipp: Try also topmod3d for manipulating and smoothing mesh geometry!

Cheers and good luck,

Thanks a lot Patrick for your response. It is little bit frustrating that there are so many grasshopper plug-in but not many tutorial available relating to them. Anyway, I think the link that you gave me seems quite interesting. I will have a look at them. Thanks a lot.

 

Best,

Side note, Weaverbird is mostly accompanied by kangaroo (my personal favorite plug in)
