Computing Form and Shape: Python Programming with the Rhinoscript Library

Description

In this course, you will learn:

• This course looks at the role of computing in the creation and representation of form and shape. Learn Python programming as a creative medium for design, architecture, art, and more. 
• Learners will create, evaluate, and critique algorithmic approaches to digital sketching, modeling, and projection. The powerful and sophisticated Python Rhinoscript library will be introduced and examined in depth. 
• This library allows Rhinoceros, a popular 3D graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) modeling software, to be scripted using text-based code. This type of scripting has the potential to automate existing processes as well as create new types of relationships and shapes and forms. 

Syllabus:

• Procedural Points, Python Basics, and Rhinoscript 
• Curves vs. Curvature 
• The Depth Of A Surface 
• Deconstruction Of Surfaces, The Genesis Of Lines 
• The Project Of Projection
