Frequently asked questions.
For any other questions that we may not have answered, please email us and we’ll get back to you shortly.
Yes, you need intermediate experience in Rhino and Grasshopper to follow this course. We will be using various Rhino operations to clean and trim mesh data and other polysurfaces. In Grasshopper, we will be working with data tree and list manipulation for various computational design strategies. Intermediate knowledge in both these software programs is a must. You can check our Rhino and Grasshopper Masterclass to gain the necessary experience.
No (maybe). You need Windows to follow this Computational Design Workshop, as some of the plugins like ToPos and Dendro are only available for Windows. You will be able to follow the remaining workflows on Grasshopper for Mac, but to get the most out of this workshop, we recommend using Windows. You can install Bootcamp or request a Windows laptop from an acquaintance.
Yes, you need to take a Grasshopper test. This will ensure that you have intermediate experience in Grasshopper, as we will utilize advanced data tree structures and other fundamental Grasshopper concepts to create complex textures. The instructor cannot delve into basic concepts in a group consisting of advanced Grasshopper users, as this would disrupt the class's flow. We recommend starting with the Grasshopper Masterclass if you don’t have experience in Grasshopper.
