Novedge Webinar: Designing 3D Patterns with Rhino and Grasshopper from Novedge on Vimeo
Marco Traverso is an engineer, developer, and 3D designer/consultant with over 18 years of experience with Rhinoceros. In the past seven years, he has developed workflows and tools for integrating the parametric capabilities of Grasshopper into creative concept design pipelines. His published work is visible at MarcoTraverso.it. Marco is the founder of Car Body Design, a leading website on transportation design since 2004.
One of the strengths of Grasshopper, the visual programming tool for Rhino 6, is the natural ability to process complex geometry data. For this reason, one of its most interesting applications is the creation of elaborated 3D patterns and textures, which are being used more and more in architecture, as well as in product and industrial design.
This webinar gives an overview of different design strategies and workflows used to develop a library of reusable patterns.

Maritime archaeologist and 3D recording specialist Thomas Van Damme of Ubi3D explained the process, “In Rhino, each characteristic of the timber was fully annotated, via the PolylineOnMesh feature, stored on separate layers, in precisely the location where it was found on the wood. These notes included details on every cut and chop mark, all the nail holes, each and every little scratch, the wood grain itself, what kinds of nails were used, whether they were iron nails or wooden treenails, which tools were used for construction, if there were signs of repairs made, what kind of wood was used.”
These two large-scale structures will welcome visitors to the new butterfly garden at the Botanical Garden.
