On my previous post, I played around with the Polar Array tool in Grasshopper and got this as a result. For this week, we'll be using arrays to create a 2D parametric design. From what I have seen in other students' blogs, most of them looked like mandalas but when I looked it up on Google for some examples, most of them reminds me of scabs.  Awesome Design by Jean  Mandala I found on Google Parametric design I found on Google Scabs  So my question for myself is: "Mandalas or Scabs?" Before I answer myself that question, I looked around Youtube to see any videos about this topic, so  here's the tutorial I used for review. I changed some things from the tutorial like the end point for the line. Instead of doing what he did, I used another polar array for the end line. Results? Awesome parametric designs. There were new things I learned on this tutorial, like using Maelstrom and Bezier Span. These desi...

For our first blog post, my colleagues and I were tasked to watch the Grasshopper tutorials, follow it, learn and create a different design using the tutorials.  Since I got used to taking screenshots in Rhino, I forgot to include my Grasshopper progress, however, here is my final Grasshopper flowchart(?): Instead of using the same shape as the one in the tutorial, I used a horn shape because why not. After watching the tutorials, I looked for another tutorial on how to use Polar Array in Grasshopper and this was the result.  This showed up first the moment I connected the shape to the Geometry part of the Polar Array  I put a slider on the Number part of the Polar Array Final Output which I put on rendered mode in Rhino
