food4Rhino webinar:

Puma – Procedural Design Advancements in Rhino with ArcGIS CityEngine
June 28 at 4 PM CEST

Join us to learn about ArcGIS CityEngine’s rule-based modelling and how it can enhance your design workflow in Rhino and Grasshopper. With the Puma plugin, users can run ArcGIS CityEngine rules directly within Rhino and Grasshopper. This allows you to develop live and dynamic 3D building models, and visualize the resulting models and numbers using your familiar Grasshopper tools. Finally, it also simplifies workflows for importing and exporting 3D data. In this webinar, we will introduce ArcGIS CityEngine and provide a demo of Puma based on real-world use cases.

ADW2022 Advance Design Workshop 2022 (Torino, Italy) - July 8

ADW2022 Advance Design Workshop 2022

Torino, Italy

July 8 

After years of silence, Memola Luigi, Head of Design of EPTA Design, is back with his new event.

As in the previous five editions, in about three hours, he will share his ideational and executive path that led him from the white sheet to the creation of images with a high visual impact to support the design he develops.

Whether you are a professional or a student in product design, transportation design, and concept design, Luigi will illustrate his workflow based, in the executive phase, on the massive and indispensable modeling tool Rhinoceros and rendering in KeyShot.

Regardless of the subject, an accurate 3D model is an indispensable element for the subsequent creation of credible and realistic images.

An example of the use of the Rhinoceros software will be the presentation of the new fantasy image belonging to the GruppoC, the AEG27 DIVA22 category, developed thanks to the experience of Eng. Giorgio Stirano, legendary trainer of LMP and F1 racing cars.

DesignMorphine Masters Y22/23 - Degree

DesignMorphine Masters Y22/23 - Degree

Duration: September 2022 to June 2023 (Online)

Limited Enrollment: August 25, 2022

Everything humanity has designed so far is limited and based on how our bodies are designed and work and they experience reality around us. However, in this age and time, we have reached the crossroads where technology can and will eventually shape our minds and our body. In this sense, designing the future entails, first and foremost, designing the body that will live that future. Challenges inevitably arise and demand innovators and pioneers to overcome them; new tools and technologies are required to materialize the answer; limits and boundaries will be crossed, and the equilibrium will change. The compass will be a scalable notion of the human condition in this journey. Housing, transit systems, and the ways one moves around in the city, as well as the whole structure of the city itself, are essential aspects one must consider when designing for this new reality. By changing the very unit, the whole world is built around, the human body, we are no longer concerned with just designing parts of our world. We are designing the whole world we live in. It’s not a mere design process; it’s cosmogony.

Rhino 7 and KeyShot 11 – New KeyShot Feature: 3D Paint

 

In this Simply Rhino KeyShot video tutorial, Phil Cook looks at 3D Paint, a new feature in KeyShot 11.

3D Paint allows for painting directly onto a 3D object. This is a great way to add dirt, aging, corrosion, and other arbitrary textures onto local areas of geometry.

Using the example of a metal casting modeled in Rhino 7, the video shows step-by-step methods for adding textures in KeyShot 11 using 3D Paint. Phil also shows how to set up the initial model in Rhino 7 to ease the process.

Rhino User Webinar: Swiftlet - Web APIs in Grasshopper (by Sergey Pigach), June 16 at 4 PM CEST

Rhino User Webinar

Swiftlet - Web APIs in Grasshopper (by Sergey Pigach)

June 16 at 4 PM CEST

In this webinar, we will look at Swiftlet. This Grasshopper plugin lets you make web requests directly from your GH definition. Using web services and external APIs opens up unique opportunities for data scraping, cloud computing, and live data processing directly within your favorite modeling software. As a fun example of fetching geospatial information from an online resource, we will use Google Maps API to get real-time driving directions between two points inside a Rhino model of New York City. You will also learn how Swiftlet has been used to integrate machine learning models into a cloud compute workflow.

Sergey Pigach is an Associate Applications Developer at CORE Studio | Thornton Tomasetti. Sergey’s work builds on his architectural training by bridging the domains of technology and design, driving him to develop computational tools for architects, designers, and engineers. Since joining CORE Studio, he has worked on desktop and web-based projects, including Swarm, a cloud compute solution for Grasshopper; ShapeDiver, a desktop client integration following a merger; and—most recently—Cortex, CORE Studio’s new ML platform.

• Intro to Python fundamental programming concepts: variable, data, data types, conditional statements, loops, data structure
• Working with the Python code in Grasshopper
• Intro to RhinoCommon library
• Simple creation and editing of points, vectors, curves, and surface
• Working with RhinoCommon geometry: Curve, Mesh, Surface, BRep
• Understanding the pros and cons of using RhinoScriptSyntax vs. RhinoCommon
• Object-oriented programming in Python

New: SIMO app for urban development

SIMO software for urban development is now available!

Developed by Spatiomatics, SIMO supports integrated, data-driven collaboration for multidisciplinary urban development teams. 

SIMO comes with three apps: Rhino plugin, Grasshopper components, and a standalone Data Dashboard. Model in Rhino as you always do, let Grasshopper process everything in the background and stream the unique UIM.json file to realtime analysis and data visualization.

SIMO is built by a passionate team with deep expertise in international urban development and computational design: "SIMO and UIM are the tools we always needed. We are in active development, have great feedback from our commercial customers, and have been deployed at TU Delft in the Netherlands throughout the development process! In building SIMO, we quickly realized that there were no useable urban ontologies or urban data schemas for describing Urban Information Models (aka CIM, CityBIM). So we built the UIM Data Model and Schema as well as our unique UIM Graphics standards from scratch taking the best from industry practice and other connected standards."

For a more detailed read, check out Why SIMO and UIM? Or look at the SIMO Documentation.

Visit Spatiomatics to learn more about SIMO. Get pricing and license information. Also, it is available in the Rhino Package Manager and on the food4Rhino website.

Monoceros Modularity V1.0 Webinar by DesignMorphine

 

July 2nd, 2022. From 3 PM to 8 PM.
Online Webinar

Monoceros Modularity V1.0 will guide you through the world of discrete aggregation via Monoceros for Grasshopper and provide an insight into how viable architectural forms can emerge only from designing their parts. Monoceros is a suite of tools plugin for Rhino/Grasshopper for optimally occupying an Envelope with discrete Modules, where the spatial relationship between those Modules can be constrained by a set of user-defined rules. Using the Wave Function Collapse algorithm provides an innovative and fast solution to the emerging architectural problem of discrete aggregation for design, architecture, and urban planning.
