Webinar: Dynamic Patterning in Grasshopper

Dynamic Patterning in Grasshopper | 2012 October 26 | 2:00 PM EDT

Overview:
Creating a pattern that changes dynamically based on your inputs is not only fun, but has many great creative applications ranging from fashion to facades. Beginning with a presentation on the main principles of working with Repeating Masks, Mathematical Expressions, Attractors, and Fields, this webinar will incrementally unpack a diverse set of Patterning techniques through a series of “live” exercises with Grasshopper. With two instructors offering guided curriculum and continuous support it is our goal to provide you with an in-depth and personal learning experience. Additional topics covered will include: how to control my pattern, visualizing the change in my pattern, using variable values to influence objects, and coordinating pattern output for drawing or fabrication.

This Webinar will last 2.5 hours including a 30 minute Q & A session. Registration can be found below. We look forward to your participation!

Topics:

• What is a Pattern? What are some ways to generate Patterns that are “Live” in Grasshopper?
• What are some ways to influence my Pattern?
• How do I coordinate my influencing Values with the objects in my Pattern?
• I Love Attractors and Fields! How do I create Patterns based on Mathematical or Natural Patterns?
• My Pattern is Beautiful! How can I “Bake” my Pattern for output to Print, Laser, etc?
