You can find it in Curve>Analysis section or simply search “eval”.Īfter connecting the Nurbs curve output to evaluate curve’s input, we need to define the “Parameter” or “t”. The next step is to “Evaluate curve” because we want to rotate it around the curve’s tangent. If you select the points and the Grasshopper’s gumball is activated (Display>Gumballs), you can easily move the curve’s point to have the desired form. To make the curve closed, we can right-click on “periodic” and set boolean to true. After defining the points we can use a “Nurbs Curve “(Curve>Spline) to connect the point together. Ok, let’s start modeling the seashell with Grasshopper 3d! The first step is to make 4 points (params>gemeoetry) and right click on the point and choose multiple geometries. The scale factor can be a repeating number which makes the seashell look more interesting. The last step is to scale the sections again. the scale decreases as we rotate the sections. If you rotate the main curve several times you can make the base sections for the seashell.Īfter rotating we will scale them from the same point we rotated the sections from. The next step is to rotate this curve around a point which is located on the curve, and with the curve’s tangent as the rotation axis.
The first step is to have a curve as the seashell’s main section. Understanding the curve’s tangent and producing different controllable data with “range” is taught in is this tutorial.įirst of all, I want to explain how the algorithm works. In this tutorial, I will be using evaluate curve to produce a seashell geometry.
