GH Srf Subdivision Strategies for GH 0.6.0043 **REQUIRES WEAVERBIRD
Description: This definition is a collection of ten methods to subdivide surfaces. Collection includes UV Division, Physical Distance, and Mesh Algorithm subdivision strategies. Further Catmull-Clark mesh subdivisions thanks to Giulio Piacentino’s Weaverbird Plug-in for Rhino and Grasshopper. Below are examples of the subdivisions generated.

LaN at Hong Kong – Shenzhen Biennale 2009
Photos By Tom Verebes
These images show a recent collaboration between Ocean CN, Crystal Design, and LaN for the Hong Kong – Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale 2009. LaN was asked to develop a custom user interface for an associative urban model in order to provide visitors to the biennale with the experience of designing their own city. [...]
Generate Seminar Review, Oulu, Finland
Photos from a recent trip Oulu, Finland. LaN co-director, Luis Fraguada, was invited to Oulu to lecture and teach at the Generate Seminar. The seminar was organized by the Algorithmic Architecture Project Group at the University of Oulu, Department of Architecture. Many, many sincere thanks to Eetu Arponen, Eva Haggrén, Aulikki Herneoja, Eeva Hinkka, Hannes [...]
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 [...]
Grasshopper and Rhinoscript Connections to OpenOffice
Provided are some examples of how to bridge between OpenOffice’s Calc program and Rhinoscript or Grasshopper.
Grasshopper UDP Receiver
Synchronous UDP Receiver
GH version 0.6.0019
Description:
This definition allows receiving with the User Datagram Protocol through .net. Please note, this definition uses a synchronous structure, meaning Rhino/GH will hang until some data is received from an external application. Please run the included Processing Sketch in order to begin transmitting continuous data to GH.

LaN OnSite BCN2 Workshop Results
LaN OnSite Barcelona v2 workshops concluded with composite fabrication processes and associative design production. Participants joined a two phase / six module workshop series that immersed them in contemporary digital design and fabrication techniques. McNeel Rhinoceros was the base platform for all design and parameterization. Through the Grasshopper plugin for Rhino, participants [...]

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 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” [...]
