ARCH 231 - Parametric Vessel & 3D Transformations in Grasshopper

This video shows the creation of a parametric vessel (or vase) using a variety of computational patterns such as 3D transforms and data structures. It's a good review of earlier topics and the resulting code permits a lot of variation.
Credit to Erin Hunt, Shelby Doyle, and GSD for the code and methods.

Nick, you're a godsend! Thank you for all of your tutorials. Your work has gotten me multiple jobs!

[@para2konrad]

Thank you a lot. I really liked the way you explained every step and component :)

Making excellent tutorial videos must be a great way to spend your quarantine! Keep 'em coming :)

Excellent video. I am going to start printing clay. And I have had a hard time learning GH.

just a tip can you use bifocals to help.... thanks !!! excellent tut...

[@jacksoni349]

In terms of 3D printing, is is possible to have different profiles for each step? So in rhino terms if you were to loft a circle to a square and back to a circle again. So following your tutorial but adding in another level of customizing the vase?

Hello Professor Senseke, I loved your tutorial, I have seem many other ones and your makes a lot of sense and I am able to follow it, but I was getting some dotted lines and did not know how to fix that, I was following your directions and still this did not work. I have Rhino 7 so I am not sure if this has something to do with this. Thank you, I would appreciate some advice.

This is great! How come it is not printable by baking the pipe? How can I actually make it printable? Thanks!

[@bboydradle]

Loft the lines into a surface, then use Vase mode in Prusa slicer. Use a .8 - 1.2 mil nozzle, and print with a 1-1.5 mil thick line, slowly

Then how can I transform it to surface ? great video !

[@nsenske]

In Grasshopper, you can loft the contours together to create a surface. It would be the Scale step before the Pipe command. To get a similar texture, you could try making the pipe radius larger and Booleaning everything together into a solid, although, that doesn't usually work very well. If you are not worried about a solid, you could sweep an open or closed curve over all of the contours to get a surface. Good luck!

@@nsenske Oh thanks for your answer . That helps me a lot . Is there a grasshopper wiki or something like that ?

is there a higher resolution than 360p?

Wait about five minutes and try it again? TH-cam re-compresses the video after I upload it. The HD version takes a moment to appear.

Does anyone know if I can achieve these results with 3d max ?!
