Advance Design Workshop 2024 (ADW24) by Luigi Memola

Advance Design Workshop 2024

Prepare to be captivated by the visionary vehicles meticulously crafted by Luigi Memola, showcasing an extraordinary level of detail achieved through the ingenious use of Rhinoceros. 

You will discover applicable executive and creative methodologies for ideating advanced design products, vehicles, robots... But also techniques to best communicate your design. You will discover the creative process that allows Luigi to create his vehicles from a blank sheet of paper, develop them in a 3D environment, and give them life with digital photographic rendering and post-production tools for the fine presentation.

The event is for visual, concept, and digital artists and designers who, for the first time, will also be able to participate remotely.

Forecasting girth growth of trees with Rhino and Grasshopper

In a pioneering research endeavor, a team at Green Technologies in Landscape Architecture at the Technical University of Munich focused on predicting the relative girth growth of tree trunks and branches within inosculated tree branching networks. Using Rhino, they rebuild initial topological branching skeletons based on the trees grown by farmer Axel Erlandson. Identifying water supply and usage points on the trees, researchers used Grasshopper to translate geometric instances into mathematical equations, adhering to the pipe model theory and circuit analogy. This enabled the calculation of water distribution across branches. The iterative growth process updated girth stands through a loop function. 

Rhino's efficiency in 3D modeling and seamless data transfer to Grasshopper empowers designers to use this tool for creating innovative living structures in urban settings.

RhinoArtisan 5.2 announced

 

2Shapes has just released RhinoArtisan 5.2, introducing Curator, a new feature defined as The Thematic Library of Elements. 

In 2Shapes words: "A curator is the keeper or custodian of a museum. We have developed this feature in the belief that inside any jewelry designer lays a curator, who safeguards the jewelry designer’s creations and works of art. These works of art only grow in prestige and value over time. 
Hence, our curator holds a treasure for every designer, by featuring an innovative library of elements that spans across a variety of themes, giving designers quick and efficient access to a variety of predefined elements".

From classic to contemporary designs, the Curator expedites your creation process by providing instant inspiration and ready-to-use elements.

Learn about this and other new features included in RhinoArtisan 5.2 here.

RhinoArtisan 5.2 is compatible with Rhino 6, 7, and 8.
