Grasshopper 3D Masterclass
Learn the core foundations of Grasshopper and create a parametric and algorithmic modeling workflow applied to product and industrial design projects.
Essential Details
Are you an industrial designer and want to embark on the journey of parametric modelling? Have you tried to learn Grasshopper on your own and found the complexity overwhelming (Graft, Flatten, Data tree etc)?
The Grasshopper Masterclass is an online LIVE course where you will learn how to use Grasshopper from the ground up by using industrial design examples. Grasshopper can help designers create a parametric workflow and generate quick iterations of designs, complex textures and algorithmic 3D modelling approaches.
• Parametric & Computational Design Foundation
• Grasshopper 3D interface
• Components, Wires, Display and Logic
• Primitive curve, surface and polysurface
• Construct/Deconstruct geometrical hierarchy
• Solid Boolean & fillet operation
• Industrial design Parametric 3D modelling
• Data Tree, Lists, Index, Path, Graft, Flatten
• Matching data hierarchy
• Attractor, Graph Mapper, Image Sampler
• Plugins Lunchbox & Weaverbird
• Mesh, SubdD and Nurbs

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 can join Gh masterclass without any prior knowledge of Rhino. While we generally recommend students to have a basic understanding of Rhinoceros 3D, it's not a strict requirement. If you possess introductory to intermediate knowledge of NURBs from any industry-standard CAD program like SOLIDWORKS or Fusion 360, you'll be able to benefit from the course. However, if you're completely new to CAD software or if you're keen on learning Rhino 3D modelling in-depth, we suggest starting with our Rhinoceros Masterclass.
Yes, you can follow the Grasshopper Masterclass on a Mac. Rhinoceros for Mac fully supports Grasshopper, allowing you to run all the necessary scripts and plugins required for the course. Make sure your system meets the software requirements and that you have the latest version of Rhino installed to ensure a smooth learning experience.
Grasshopper Masterclass: Suitable for both beginners and intermediate users, this course introduces the fundamentals of Grasshopper. Participants will begin with the basics, such as understanding the interface, working with primitive shapes, and performing Boolean/trimming operations. The course then delves into more advanced concepts, including Data Tree, Grasshopper data flow, and List Management. These topics differ from what is found in Rhino and are unique to Grasshopper. If you're a beginner or an intermediate user who wants a deeper understanding of Data Tree & List Management, this course will lay the groundwork for mastering the "language" of Grasshopper. Ad. Parametric Texture Workshop: This advanced course is designed for experienced Grasshopper users. It isn't a direct continuation of the Grasshopper Masterclass but rather focuses solely on creating textures using diverse workflows. Throughout the workshop, various techniques to generate and transfer textures will be employed. The content isn't tailored for beginners, as it delves into advanced data structures in Grasshopper. If you're not yet comfortable with topics like Data Tree, List Management, or the construction/deconstruction of geometry in Gh, you might find it challenging to keep pace. For this reason, we recommend that beginners first enroll in the Grasshopper Masterclass to solidify their Grasshopper foundation before progressing to the Ad. Parametric Texture Workshop.
