COMPLETE BUNDLE: PYTHON FOR GRASSHOPPER

recordings of live webinars with Agata Migalska | Parametric Support

Basic knowledge of Grasshopper required.

HELLO PYTHON: Introduction to Python programming language and Python script component in Grasshopper. Calculating “things” and plotting geometries from Python code. The course will start with the core concepts (module imports, variables, indentation, etc) from where we will advance through data types, input parameters, conditional statements, loops, list comprehensions, and conclude with functions and recursion.

GAME OF PYTHON’S LIFE: Conway’s Game of Life is probably the most popular game among the programmers. During this webinar we will implement the game in Python and discover that it can be executed on any surface, even so twisted as a trefoil knot. Finally, we will learn how to bake geometries in Rhinoceros from our GHPython script.

ATTRACTING A PYTHON: Almost every Grasshopper component is available as a function in GhPython component, the functionality called “Node-In-Code”. In this course we will be working with attractors to learn how a single Python component can replace the whole Grasshopper definition.

Grasshopper plug-ins used: GhPython
