How to model biomorphic and complex shapes in Grasshopper 3d

Work with agent-based simulations in grasshopper

Using additional plugins to create fluid shapes and works with Nurbs and meshes

Skill to think in algorithms

This course is designed for beginner Grasshopper 3D users interested in digital design and parametric architecture, as well as artists, architects, and designers looking to expand their skills.
After registration, you will gain access to all the lessons and study materials needed to successfully complete the course. All lessons are structured to allow you to gradually acquire new skills.
Practical tasks are designed to help you solidify new knowledge and skills. Each assignment includes detailed video instructions and examples to ensure you can complete them with maximum efficiency. This is your chance to apply theory to practice and prepare for real-world projects.
At every stage of your learning, you can receive support and feedback from our experienced mentors. This will help you overcome any difficulties and ensure rapid progress.
After completing all assignments, you will receive an official certificate confirming your knowledge and skills in 3D modeling. This certificate will be a valuable addition to your resume and open up new career opportunities.
Basic knowledge of Grasshopper commands and its interface, as well as familiarity with the Rhino interface, is necessary. Specifically, you should know how to open Rhino and Grasshopper, input geometry from Rhino into Grasshopper, and build basic algorithms.

Our instructors have been trained by McNeel (the developer of Rhinoceros), ensuring a high level of knowledge and teaching methods
After successfully completing the course, you will receive an official certificate confirming your knowledge and skills in 3D modeling. This certificate will be a valuable addition to your resume and help in career advancement
The training is focused on your professional growth and skill improvement. You will have the opportunity to work on real projects, allowing you to confidently apply the knowledge gained in your career
Our experienced mentors are always available to help you with any questions or difficulties. You will receive feedback at every stage of learning, ensuring you move forward with confidence.
Do I need prior knowledge of 3D modeling to take the course?
Basic knowledge of simple commands and the interface of Grasshopper and familiarity with the Rhino interface are required. You need to know how to open Rhino&Grasshopper, input geometry from Rhino into Grasshopper and be able to build basic algorithms, for example create a curve and divide into 10 parts.
What software will we use during the course?
We use Rhinoceros 3D to provide the best learning experience. A free trial version is sufficient.
How many hours per week should I dedicate to studying?
We recommend dedicating about 2 hours a day to complete the course in 8 days. However, you can adjust your schedule according to your needs and responsibilities.
Can I study if I have a Mac computer?
Despite the course being designed on the Windows platform, and the interface between Rhinoceros for Mac and Rhinoceros for Windows having slight differences, Mac users do not have any problems taking this course.

You can ask any questions related to the course and practical tasks in the task comments for 30 days from the date of course purchase.
Can I suspend the course if anything happens?
Yes, you can pause your studies and continue later
What types of tasks are included in the course?
The course includes basic practical tasks. To receive a certificate, only basic tasks need to be completed.
Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?
Yes, after completing all the basic tasks, you will receive an official certificate
Will the course materials be available after it ends?
The course materials will be available forever from the date of course purchase
Can I get a refund if the course does not suit me?
