    Grasshopper is a plugin for a 3D modeling program called Rhino. Architects use it to design buildings and cool patterns. It took over a year of work, but I was able to design some 3d printed shoes for my wife.
    Grasshopper is different from Blender/Maya/3DMax in that it uses a NURBs based modeler, instead of mesh. It's different from Solidworks/Fusion360/Catia/Onshape in that it's easier to make more complex shapes. Closest 3D analogue is probably Houdini.
    **This looks easy because I have may hours of experience in Solidworks. If you're starting out your 3D journey completely from scratch, you'll have a much steeper learning curve.**
    If you'd like to learn to 3d model using Grasshopper or Rhino a 90 day free trial is available.

      @@BuildaSkill as this is a very specialised skill (and as this type of specialised design makes up a tiny portion of an architect's actual job) it is also small part of an architecture degree. Much of an architecture degree is focused on the generation of concepts, how to optimise space, how to think critically about space and then how to document and communicate these ideas effectively and then build them. Grasshopper is an amazing tool (I use it all the time) but it is just that, a tool, and one of many in an architect's toolbox.

    This is very interesting, I hadn't heard of Grasshopper before as I mainly work in game dev. The process of modeling with nodes reminds me a lot of Houdini, which has a similar system for modeling. I've only ever used it to make basic buildings for a destruction sim, but the concepts look similar to what you showed of Grasshopper. Great video!

  • @aeroplane9000
    @aeroplane9000 Před 2 lety +4

    Amazing video! Its great how you explain the learning process and you also bring so much design skill to the table. Both the Vase and the shoe look absolutely professional especially considering they are completely 3D printed. Im amazed you were able to design such a complex piece as the shoes, featuring so many different materials, even after 200 hours of learning. Looking forward to the next video, whenever it is coming out!

    • @BuildaSkill
      @BuildaSkill  Před 2 lety +1

      Thank you. Yes I have a lot of design experience with other software which helps. And the vase was kind of a happy accident, it pretty much had to be that way due to the limitations of fdm printing.

    Your shoe has better potential than some overhyped architectural creations by famous architects . Great work! Many people's problems is that they resort to the easiest to learn and aimed at the most complex. I learned sketchup 15 years ago and I thought that's the software that could "do it all". But now sketchup is dismissed by many artists as a joke and pros dont want to mess up with sketchup models. I had a chance to learn rhino at about the same time, I should have at least tried! I will have to learn this somehow...
