Karl keep the videos coming! I am 20 years old and work in a digital fabrication studio in Brooklyn and we have multiple KUKA robotic arms, I am not in school and pretty much learning everything on the internet, people like you are what is allowing this to happen and help bring my dreams into fruition ! I cant thank you enough !!
I agree a 100% I work in an architect's office as an intern and I am pretty much in the same boat. Bringing new ideas and skills in the office really makes a difference in how seriously people start taking you after a while!
How can I apply this method to a dome surface? Cuz obviously it getting narrower on the top, and I couldn't solve the problem that bricks intersect on the top of the dome.
thanks for preparing and posting. for non grasshopper users, you can do it as follows: 1. make your surface, rebuild it. 2. Unroll your surface, rebuild it with same rebuild numbers from above (to avoid mapping differences) 3. make your brick array on your unrolled surface, either manual or qith array tools. 4. Use Flow Along Surface Command, with options: Rigid: Yes (select No to have curved/bent bricks) ConstrainNormal:No AutoAdjust:No PreserveStructure:Yes (so that your grid remains the same) If you apply it in a larger surface (or if you scale down a bit the unrolled surface, before the array) you will create even gaps between the bricks, like mortar/cement filled gaps. If you want to do it in double curved surfaces and you don't want dome like, 3D rotated bricks, then you have to contour the surface using the brick height and Flow AlongCurve Each Row independently, with similar options (or use Flow Along Surface again, if you first extrude the Curves vertically) I am a medium to advanced(? :P) Grasshopper user but is always nice to know how some stuff can be replicated without it. In many cases, especially for mockups we don't want to play around with later or they are rough estimation, it is much faster to do it with native rhino tools. ps. even if do want ti play around, having Always Record History Turned on, can offer some serious Parametric feeling, depending on commands used.
Very clear tutorial, thank you so much for creating this! However, may I request a tutorial for doing gradual changes of gaps between bricks in straight wall? I mean from the start size of the wall, there will be 0 gap, and from the end of the wall there will be 3/4 of the brick length size of the gap. Could you please do that tutorial that will be great!
Very well made and clear tutorial, thanks! i was wondering, around minute 5:55 that we could've connected the Construct Point tool to the Cull Nth function, this was we just need one Cull Nth, and not two for the X and Y coordinates
Really awesome and clear tutorial! I wondered if you have a hint on how to control the distance between the bricks according to another variable, e.g. an attractor. I thought it has something to do with the horizontal frames expression, but totally no idea on how to make that different for different parts of the wall.
Hi Karl, thanks for the tutorial :), which component should I "bake" so that it can be extracted to Rhino and used it? I baked different component on Grasshopper, but they are coming out as a contour or a bunch of bricks piled together.
Hey Karl, great Video! One Question: what would be the easiest and fastest way to "project" this wall onto a complete squared facade? In the end the whole (closed) facade should be parametric.
Hi Karl. First, thanks for the video. Second, I would like to know if you can help me with this situation. The thing is, after creating this wall (o a generic one), can I use the ladybug (with all the site information about the sunlight over the year) and edit this wall's code in order to make it work in a better energetic way?
absolutely, however, I'd suggest looking at the inputs during the creation of the wall rather than trying to go back and edit it afterwards. I.e. some of the parameters from ladybug could be turning bricks on or off depending on how much light you want passing through.
Help!!! Are there ANY tutorials for grasshopper of NORMAL architectural elements ANYWHERE on the web? All I can find is this new-agie curvy useless non functional artsy shit that no one in their right mind actually builds in the real world. How about something that builders with building permits actually build, and pay you to render?

Awesome, I just taught this to my two sons, ages 8 and 10 and they loved it!

Great, quick and easy to grasp tutorials!
Thanks for the tutorial 💙

hi! is there a way of adding mortar to the brickwall? so filling in the gaps with a solid?
Why would you want to?
Hi Karl,
thanks for the tutorial :),
which component should I "bake" so that it can be extracted to Rhino and used it?
I baked different component on Grasshopper, but they are coming out as a contour or a bunch of bricks piled together.

Hi Karl
Its a great video, please make a tutorial on how to export each course of brick work for the execution
Hey Karl, thanks for the tutorial! Could you tell me how to add a half-brick end detail to each side of my wall?
if the base curve for this wall is specific,( already built in rhino) how can i build the curve in grasshopper, what tutorial can i search for?
thanks man .lifesaving
You're welcome!
Thank you for this useful tutorial. I have a question about structurally analyzing this wall. Is there a method to do that?
Perhaps check out Karamba - a plug in for grasshopper
hi i have a question, can you add attractor points ?

how could I make this brickwall based on a non-randomized loft?
Thanks so much Karl!
Awesome. Great vid!!
perfect perfect perfect👌
Nice Tutorial!!! what about if I want to have one specific curve ?, not a random one , thanks!!!
Just use a pre-existing curve instead of the randomly generated curve to put your bricks on.
thank you so much

James Everett perhaps you'd better off looking for archicad tutorials...
Are you hinting that grasshopper only does these curvy things, and can't do normal straight walls, windows, doors and roofs?
@@jameseverett4976 No. he is hinting that Archicad can do it better
