Learn automotive texture-design workflows in Rhino and Grasshopper by Cademy xyz

BYD Acoustic Texture – Inspired by Dynaudio
Recreate a speaker grille texture inspired by a Dynaudio design inside a BYD vehicle.

We’ll model the door-panel section in Rhino, then use Grasshopper to build a random-controlled perforation pattern.

Parametric Front-Bumper Textures for EVs
Since EVs no longer require large air-intake openings, front bumpers have become an expressive design surface.

We’ll explore how to use parametric textures to communicate identity, motion, and brand character.
