Agent Movement Using User Drawn Vectors – Example 11.3
This last example of using Agents steered by a static vector field continues the logic started in Example 11.1 and further developed in Example 11.2. In those examples, we used a rather consistent Vector Field with vectors generated by Grasshopper itself to steer the agents. There is no reason, however, why you cannot set the…

Projecting and Orienting Geometry – Example 5.2
This example introduces two very useful tools to use in 3Dimensional landscape models. The first deals with the problem of getting geometry that is drawn in 2 dimensions onto a 3D surface. This can be done fairly easily through the use of the “Project Point” and “Project Curve” functions. The next useful modeling task is…

Geometry through Extrusions and Containment Curves – Example 5.1
Perhaps the simplest way to start creating 3Dimensional objects in 3D modeling environments is through the extrusion command. In this example, I use the extrusion command to make some basic benches and tree trunks for a conceptual landscape design. To make the exercise a little more interesting I am also introducing the concept of containment…
