Modeling 3D Patterns with Rhino Grasshopper
Vectors 2
A course by Arturo Tedeschi , Architect and Computational Designer
About the video: Vectors 2
Overview
“After having seen how to modify the length of vectors and how to use them to translate objects, I will teach you some applications of vectors related to geometries and surfaces, and in particular to the calculation of normals.”
In this video lesson Arturo Tedeschi addresses the topic: Vectors 2, which is part of the Domestika online course: Modeling 3D Patterns with Rhino Grasshopper. Learn algorithmic modeling to create 3D patterns for fashion, jewelry, or architecture, from the initial concept and design to the final file for 3D printing.
Partial transcription of the video
“Vectors Let us now see an application of vectors to a geometric example preparatory to our final project. Let's start by inserting the Polygon component in the canvas. Polygon creates a closed polyline, whose number of sides can be set through the third input Segments, by default set to 6. Clearly, we will be able to modify the plane of lay and the radius of the geometry, but we can, for the moment, keep the default values. Let's extract the vertices of our hexagon. We can do this through the component seen above, Discontinuity. We now locate the center of the closed polyline through the Ar...”

A course by Arturo Tedeschi
Arturo Tedeschi is an architect and computational designer who lives and works in Milan. After studying architecture in Naples, he went on to work in multiple architecture and interior design studios. He later discovered algorithmic modeling, which combines his two greatest passions: programming and design.
Driven by his fascination for this branch of modeling, he became a self-taught expert on the subject and even wrote a book about it called Architettura Parametrica – Introduzione a Grasshopper, which has seen success in the form of new editions, a translation into English, and multiple printings. Since then, he's been traveling around Italy sharing his knowledge with students and providing consulting services for businesses, architecture studios, and universities.
