McNeel Europe and Long Nguyen—research associate at ICD Stuttgart—are presenting two C# Scripting and Plugin Development for Rhino and Grasshopper workshops, March 9-10, 11-13, 2020.
This 2-level course will help you take your skills with Rhino/Grasshopper to the next level by developing custom Grasshopper scripts and plugins using the C# programming language. As a popular modern programming language, C# is an accessible, high-performance, consistent language suitable for small to large project developments. Thanks to the official support of C# in Rhino/Grasshopper, we can extend the capabilities of Rhino and Grasshopper – from automating repetitive tasks, developing customized workflows, to implementing advanced design algorithms and tools, as well as building two-way interaction between Rhino/Grasshopper and other software applications (e.g., Revit).
C# Level 1 (2 days): Introduction course
The basic-level workshop will introduce the essential programming concepts using the C# language and the well-documented RhinoCommon programming library.
- Essential C# programming concepts: variables, data types, conditional statements, loops, function
- Object-oriented programming
- The C# Script component in Grasshopper
- RhinoCommon basics
- Creating Grasshopper plugins using Visual Studio
- Custom graphics display (custom colors, materials, styles, etc...)
C# Level 2 (3 days): Intermediate/Advanced Course
The intermediate/advanced course builds on the basic-level workshop and will focus on advanced aspects of C# programming, RhinoCommon API, Grasshopper API. You will also gain better understandings about the complexity of algorithms (i.e. why they run slow/fast) and clear optimization techniques.- More in-depth topics about Rhino geometries (Curves, Surfaces, Meshes)
- Editing strings, exporting and importing text files.
- DataTree and Grasshopper data types
- Programmatically interacting with Rhino modeling environment from Grasshopper (e.g., Rhino objects, lights, layers) such as “baking” geometry
- C# Delegates
- Computational complexity: understanding code performance and scalability
- Spatial Data Structure: using RhinoCommon R-Trees to accelerate 3D searches, proximity checking, collision detection
- If time allows, parallel computation with the .NET Task Parallel LibraryOptional topics (if time allows) e.g: recursion, using external libraries, or topics requested by participants
