#ParametricDaily 021: Panels with 3D wave textures
The definition created for this entry allows to combine direct modeling and "manual" design with procedural/parametric capabilities. The design...

#ParametricDaily 020: Möbius Generative Shape
This shape is based on the same definition used for the Möbius animation, with a different setup of parameters that control the mesh bevels...
#ParametricDaily 019: pattern inspired by Erwin Hauer's Design 201
This entry recreates a pattern similar to the famous Design 201 created by sculptor Erwin Hauer in the 1950s. The definition creates a clean...
#ParametricDaily 018: 3D wave texture
For this entry the Grasshopper definition creates a wavy pattern by offsetting a subset of the surface control points along two directions. The...
#ParametricDaily 017: organic interwoven 3D pattern
This interwoven pattern is an example of what is possible to achieve quickly by combining different components: in this case the new...
#ParametricDaily 016: fading hexagonal pattern
This entry is a definition that allows to map an hexagonal pattern onto a given NURBS surface, applying a fading effect. It is possible to...
#ParametricDaily 015: parametric modeling of the Vision Silver Arrow EQ Concept wheel
This time I used Grasshopper more like a modeling tool to support a direct NURBS modeling process, to recreate the distinctive rim design of...
#ParametricDaily 014 - 3D modeling the BMW iNext Concept grille
For this entry I recreated the parametric pattern design of the recent BMW iNext Concept, presented at the CES 2019 Show. The quickest way for...
#ParametricDaily 013 - 3D hole pattern
This entry is an application the typical workflow for creating 3D patterns in Grasshopper. The steps involved are: the creation of a basic...
#ParametricDaily 012 - Using 2D Metaballs to generate a layered geometry
This entry - which took longer that other "daily" concepts - started just as an experimentation with the 2D Metaball component to create...
#ParametricDaily 011
This image is a combination of the 3D panels seen in #ParametricDaily 004 and yesterday's definition. The HDRI is courtesy of HDRI Haven.
#ParametricDaily 010: recreating the Chicago Aqua Tower
This is the first architectural entry in this series. The goal was to recreate from scratch the basic facade sculptural design of the Aqua...
#ParametricDaily 009: Sci-Fi Face with 3D stripes
One possible way for producing interesting textures is the use of stripes to create different abstract effects or to suggest real shapes in an...
#ParametricDaily 008
Today's entry is a 3D mesh pattern applied to a freeform surface. The definition uses a way for adding deformations along lines, mimicking the...
#ParametricDaily 007: Sci-fi mechanical pattern
Today's entry is a variant of the interwoven pattern used for the bracelet. The surface detailing, achieved through a slightly different...
#ParametricDaily 006: recreating the Milan Galleria Christmas Lights with Grasshopper
A few days ago I was in the Milan Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, and looking at the beautiful lights I decided to recreate them using...
#ParametricDaily 005: parametric bracelet
This bracelet-like 3D model combines a base Moebius ring surface (check the Moebius animation), and a simplified version of the interwoven...
#ParametricDaily 004
This type of geometry is being used on acoustic panels. Creating the basic panel using NURBS curve profile is pretty straightforward. On the...
