Alternate Interface: Control Grasshopper from iPod
Current exploration into alternative interfaces for presenting and interacting with associative models. Here we see two examples of communication from an iPod Touch 2g to McNeel’s Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino. This is made possible by Open Sound Control (OSC) and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). In these examples, a Processing interface was utilized to show [...]

Maya Fluid to Grasshopper via UDP
In a collaboration with Shajay Bhooshan, Autodesk Maya 2009 can communicate with McNeel’s Rhinoceros::Grasshopper. The work on communicating to and from Grasshopper via the user datagram protocol (UDP) was to effectively speed up communication between programs without the use of each program writing and reading a text file. This investigation was begun to open up [...]
Grasshopper <-> Processing v2: Live Input
Video on Grasshopper3d
Here is an example of continuous data being fed into Grasshopper from Processing via the User Datagram Protocol (UDP). Very simple data, very simple result…but its a promising step in this investigation. In addition to the vb.net receiver, I am using Giulio Piacentino’s “The Engine” component to continuously refresh the GH canvas. You [...]

Grasshopper <-> Processing talk via UDP
The following videos show communication between Grasshopper and Processing via the UDP protocol.
This is an example of communication through UDP in vb.net and processing. There is one receiving processing sketch which is listening to UDP data from another processing sketch and a grasshopper definition.
This is an example of getting data (although very simple) into [...]
Maya Fluid + Grasshopper
Find more videos like this on Grasshopper
This is an example of a basic Maya Fluid into McNeel’s Grasshopper Plugin. There is an expression acting on the Fluid to export out points based on fluid vector magnitudes. Grasshopper is reading this text file via a vb.net component. This is made possible by Giulio Piacentino’s “The Engine” [...]
vb.net + grasshopper: adaptive surface subdivision
A quick translation of Rhinoscript to vb.net in order to control a recursive function inside of Grasshopper. First video shows that as the surface facets grow in area, the facet will subdivide further. Second video shows recursion based on the distance from an attraction point. Images show adaptation to multiple attraction points. The function will [...]
