Python is an increasingly popular programming language in many fields: 3D modeling, web programming, scientific computing, artificial intelligence, etc. As a modern programming language, the language has a simple and clean syntax, making it very accessible to beginners.
Thanks to Rhino and Grasshopper’s official support of Python, you can programmatically access its powerful 3D modeling environment, including all the essential features of its advanced NURBS engine. This opens up many new exciting possibilities, such as:
- Building simple scripts/tools that automate repetitive modeling tasks, boosting efficiency
- Developing and customizing tools and workflow specific to your team’s needs
- Programming advanced design algorithms that are not possible with standard out-of-the-box tools
- Using Python as a creative design tool
- Interfacing Rhino and Grasshopper with other software programs
During the three-day workshop taught by computer scientist and long-term programming instructor for Grasshopper Python and C#, Long Nguyen, you will learn:
- 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
Course requirements: No knowledge of programming or scripting required, only Rhino and Grasshopper.
