Grasshopper and Other
-David Oliva, Derek Lockhart
To recap the presentation on Grasshopper in case something happens to your installation and need to reinstall, this is the website to access information on Grasshopper: http://en.wiki.mcneel.com/default.aspx/McNeel/ExplicitHistoryPluginMainPage.html.
All you need an email address to download the Grasshopper plugin. Just simply run the download to install it.
Another web page to access some tutorials and some more information about Grasshopper is http://grasshopper.rhino3d.com/.
The two websites that Shai mentioned in class are http://www.materialsystems.org/ and http://designreform.net/. On designreform.net located on the right side of the page under categories are the tutorials.
The site that I briefly showed, http://nao.eu.com/index.php/2008/12/20/grasshopper-tutorial-by-nao-parametrise-a-tower/, is the tutorial of the parametric tower. If you happen to go to the home page, http://nao.eu.com/, and take a glance of the stuff that is posted you will find some interesting stuff. Some of the stuff is related to design (like the 24k gold coated Mac) and there is also more Grasshopper related material.
