Parametric Line Drawing

These are not complex they are more about the random structure and figuring out what particular sets of parameters will do when stuck into the different nodes. Also i did a lot of research into the different function of everything in Grasshopper and found a site that helped to just identify all of its functions and descriptions and there required inputs


I started here with a really large list of multiple parameters and worked with the bi-arc tool to create a random design but the inputs where incorrect for adding the polygon node as well the inputs and outputs disallowed it from completing properly anyways when you extruded it.


This was the first parameter i ended up creating with the result of it functioning


Interpolate Curve command with some randomization and a point division of the curve and extruded polygons. It was the one that had the most amount of playing around to get a visual that was small enough but also the least amount of space the curves that where generated by the command.


Tangent Curve used for this. its very simple in its make up and much less items than the others i made.



Very few randomization's on account of a smaller sample size because it is a singular curve in comparison to the other curves sets i made.

PArc I believe is a parametric arc. This one got really out of hand really fast

There was a point where my computer lagged for a couple minutes generating this guy at its maximum line division which i set to 1. but it does have a very interesting structure despite the amount of lines


These are all of the 2D versions of the different collections of shapes. i really think that each of these are a bit different because the sample size of the shapes is so much larger in every case if you alter the parameters so technically they can all look fairly similar.

My challenges for this set of projects was really just analyzing the differences between 50 different nodes to know what they did and what reasons they failed and how many different ones could be used if there where just a couple more parameters.
