About the course
This 4-day workshop will introduce the essentials of scripting and the creation of custom plugins for Grasshopper using the C# language.
C# provides high-performance interaction within the Rhino/Grasshopper modeling environment. You can extend the capabilities of Rhino and Grasshopper—from automating repetitive tasks, developing customized workflows, to implementing advanced generative design algorithms and interacting with other software tools.
Who should attend?
The workshop is for intermediate to advanced Grasshopper users who want to customize, extend, and push the existing boundary of the Grasshopper platform.
Some familiarity with scripting/programming and the RhinoCommon API is helpful but not essential for attending, as they will be introduced during the workshop.
