Parametric Line Drawings

  Parametric Line Drawings I don't know whether I am having a hard time grasping how grasshopper works, or this is actually a hard tool to work with. Or maybe its both! Either way I want to say I definitely am struggling to remember certain commands and figuring how things work exactly.   And finally I made my attempt and started the assignment! I wanted to work with a polygon shape then some where down the line I think I got lost. I got really confused and wondered why my polygon became a circle, even if I lowered the amount of sides. I ended up deleting the polygon then adding it again and it worked. This is where I've "completed" my parametric line drawing, I managed to make several intriguing drawings from the initial hexagon I started with. I'm not sure if I properly structured my algorithm chart right but the end result seemed fine. (End result before backing + 2D)  Here are some screenshots of the interesting drawings:  Thinking that I might be done, I ch...

  WELCOME TO OBDF 310: ALGORITHMIC AND PARAMETRIC DESIGN     Winter semester 2021. We're back in school and our lazy days are gone.. (for the most part!) I am excited that we have returned to OBDF once again in its 300 level class, taught by Bryan Cera! I would be lying if I didn't say I was nervous for this class though, I genuinely thing coding/programing seems complicated and grasshopper just seemed a bit overwhelming from the brief demo we saw at the end of our 200 level class last semester.   During the first day we got to learn the basics on "Grasshopper" by understanding how to create points and using the search system. Honestly hearing words like algorithm, parametric, iteration and generative I was getting worried, but after a few small demos I felt like this was manageable, I understand and I think I can learn. Our first practice/assignment of this semester is following a tutorial on Grasshopper by David Rutten. Here are some of my scree...
