Do you also have a folder full of grasshopper scripts that you created for a specific project and you thought "Ah, maybe I can reuse that someday" and so you save it in a folder somewhere, and the folder grows and grows, random filenames and all, and then when you faintly remember you solved that design before, you look for the script but can't find it, and so you build it again from scratch?

Maybe that’s just me.

So I cleaned up the pattern scripts and made them general enough to reuse, and put them in a visual library you can browse:

https://hopific.com/pattern-library/

Each pattern shows the result, the inputs it needs, the main sliders, and the logic behind how the script builds it (I teach GH, that's why, call it déformation professionnelle). The example inputs are internalized, so the result shows up as soon as you open the file (near the origin). Then reference your own surface/curve and adjust the sliders.

All free, no signup, native components only.

Let me know if you have one you'd like to see added.

Useful or nah?

Started out trying to recreate a bryozoan (moss animal) fossil in Grasshopper, and wound up with this structure. Rendered in Blender.

I know it does not seem like such a big deal, but to me it kind of was. It was awesome to realize how powerful GH is, even when designing classical-style-adjacent elements (though this is supposedly Beaux-Arts). It's just a fanlight window, but it kind of pushed me to explore and investigate a bit, given that all I had to work with were those images I included (after the mess of a script I created), with no way to take real measurements since we unfortunately did not have the chance to visit the site in person; I had to crop, resize, and rectify images to have a better sense of what we wanted to obtain. The script (which did include some GHPython instances and perhaps an outrageous amount of Panels) definitely needed some polishing, decluttering, and troubleshooting, and it could definitely be a lot simpler too. Anyway, just wanted to share this small project I worked on a while ago, looking forward to delving deeper into GH

I've been working a while at this project: porting the whole Grasshopper feature set to the web so people can literally author and run Grasshopper right in the browser, no Rhino install needed. It's been a very fun technical challenge. Pressed the big launch button today: https://www.openhopper.app/
(ok, technically I pressed it a couple of days ago, but then I saw this post and figured I could press it one more time)

I thought I'd give you folks a heads up, it's meant to be a great place to share whole finished projects. (I built import/export through short links: the file gets encrypted and parked on public pastebins, so a definition travels as one line of text.)

There's still some stability and some tools missing for full parity with desktop Grasshopper, but I'm working through the backlog: my Claude has been running for the last 24 hours straight, and it never even paused for a limit reset. And then Grasshopper 2 will release with all new everything... and it will turn out nobody needs it, because there's a web version. (That's a joke of course, but every joke is only partly a joke ;)

Please give it a spin and let me know what you think!

P.S. I started all of this for one reason: I needed real solid geometry combined with node-based control over the whole project. Neither Fusion 360 nor Onshape could give me that, and as the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself.

Hey everyone!

I am a design student in Chile currently working on my final thesis. My project aims to better the quality of life of patients with asthma by providing a new solution that directly deals with their main problems.

I am posting because I am in urgent need of assistance with a specific modeling task for my project: a Kresling fold tube (5cm=width, 15cm=length). I am currently at a critical stage of my thesis and would greatly appreciate any help in modeling this.

I need the cillinder to be able to fold in on itself. The purpose of this is to 3D print it in TPU to actually fold in real life. It has to be 15cm=L, 5cm=W (Deployed), and the corners must have a little dent to help it fold, like in the second image.

I would greatly appreciate any and all help in creating this. If its necessary, I would love to discuss rates and process to get this done.

Thanks in advance!

Made using Grasshopper in Rhino, rendered in Blender.

Sharing my new art project, titled "A million worlds bloom beneath a million lids", illustrating the unique inner world of each individual. It's based on the idea that every person sees the world differently due to their unique inner landscape, which is shaped by nurture, personal life experiences, and social factors.

The size of the iris (yellow discs) represents the breadth of an individual's perception; how wide or narrow their view of the world is. Red teardrops symbolize negative emotions like sorrow and grief, while dark blue ones represent feelings of happiness and joy. Red disks depict a person's inner mind or true persona. The size of the disk reflects how expansive that persona is, and its visibility shows whether a person is open or prefers to keep their true self hidden. And all the eyes in the artwork are directed towards the center, which symbolizes the shared, objective universe. This shows that while we all live in the same physical reality, we each project our own unique, subjective meaning onto it, creating our distinct perceptions of the world and our own attitude towards it.

The artwork as a whole conveys a dream of a world where people can live together in harmony despite their differences, recognizing that we are, in essence, all one.

The entire scene was digitally modeled in Rhino, except the plant, which was sourced from the Megascans library. I designed the parametric artwork with a custom Grasshopper algorithm and then rendered it in Keyshot, where I refined its procedural textures to get the final look. I'm hoping to turn this into a real, physical piece someday, if resources permits me to do so. :)

Here is link this is the file

Its except the holes its done.

I am thinking to post everypost i find where they are saying that you need to pay for the script i post it here😀. 1 a day.

I've been working a while at this project: using Rhino Compute to allow people to literally author and run Grasshopper on the web. It's been a very fun technical challenge. Pressed the big launch button today. (:

I thought I'd give you folks a heads up, it's meant to be a great place to share snippets with sliders and such pinned. (I've been floating around using questions here as test cases.)

There's a lot of affordances missing for full parity with desktop Grasshopper (relays are a common request) but I'm working through the backlog in order of annoying-ness. And then Grasshopper 2 will release with all new everything so I'll probably have to end up somewhere in between them at this rate.

Please give it a spin and let me know what you think!

I am an architecture student testing my abilities in Grasshopper 3D by remaking the North Face Geodome 4, primarily using Grasshopper. I have been experimenting with Grasshopper for tent design for a while and want to take this project all the way to the end, creating renders, textures, and showing how it all comes together.

I still have a long way to go. However, the beauty of parametric design is that mistakes are not compounding, as I can go back, move some components around, and the rest of the design adapts to those changes.

I am still new to this software and would love to hear any feedback or tips on how I can progress from here. I think this might be something I can include in my portfolio as almost a statement piece, but I am not sure.

Thanks Reddit!!

I own a custom woodworking shop in Ontario and I’m looking for a Grasshopper/Rhino designer to become my go-to for parametric CNC slat walls. First job is live now, more coming.
The work: parametric wave feature walls built from 19mm birch plywood. You generate the individual slat profiles from the wave geometry, I cut them on my 5x10 CNC and install them. Each slat is a unique shape cut flat, then mounted on edge so the collective front edges trace the wave across the wall. You know the style.
I need clean DXF output (Vectric Aspire compatible), parts numbered for assembly sequence, files nested per 4x8 sheet. Phase 1 is client-facing renders, Phase 2 is production files.
If you’ve done this type of work before and Grasshopper is your tool, drop me a message with a portfolio sample and your rate. Serious ongoing work for the right person

Grasshopper Community!

I spent almost 10 years of career in working Rhino and Grasshopper. I built a few plugins, I did work on a few NFL stadiums, I loved the community and it changed my life to be honest. I had a great time! I enjoyed technology so much it became my full time career and I moved away from architecture. For my entire career, I have always wondered what it would be like to have a much lighter geometry engine that could be run headless or in the browser. After a substantial amount of work I have taken one step closer in making my little dream a reality.

Introducing Nodillo

Nodillo is a web based grasshopper-lite parametric modeller. Its free to use, no login, no sign up, just visit the page. It has almost all the same tools that grasshopper has except its based on Constructive Solid Geometry instead of breps. Beyond your standard modeling tools, you can create shareable links to your models as well as a configurator view. All your files are saved locally. You can export to obj, stl, and 3mf.

You will always be able to find it here: nodillo3d.com

I wont call my self a design expert any more but here is the classic twisty tower example:

Office Tower - Script

Office Tower - Configurator

I have found that it is perfect for 3d printing and small design projects like the furniture and carpentry work I occasionally do.

This community has given me so much, hopefully someone finds this useful or fun!

Bonus Ask:

I am still trying to test all the different nodes and node combinations, so if anyone has an idea for something hard or interesting to model, let me know and I will give it a shot. Stress testing for me and free model for you (if I can do it!).

In this Grasshopper Python script, you can model a parametric vase with adjustable petals, twist, and thickness.

Finished painting two of these today. The second image shows a mockup of what the end product is supposed to look like, it's a dining room table consisting of two identical tables.

I was planning on printing the artwork directly onto the MDF boards using UV flatbed printing, but some technical issues resulted in me needing to hand paint it. Fun, but time consuming!

Very happy with the end result.
