You can read the gorgeous GrassHopper documentation https://www.grasshopper3d.com

but I am affraid that you must make some Training Tests / Errors with Elephant existing nodes!
and use the actual Elephant repository :) French / English

Good Luck!

Hi Pilou,

Thank you very much for your kind response and for taking the time to offer so many great ways to learn node editing. I really appreciate your suggestions and am familiar with Grasshopper, although I have never used it. It's crazy to think that I started with a demo of Rhino that came with a magazine some twenty years ago! I wish had stayed with Rhino instead of pursuing 3DS Max, but that's another story for another time. ;)

Wow, some of those Architectural algorithms are incredible! Very inspiring!

Thank you for sharing your resources, I look forward to sharing some of the new things that I have learnt here.

Bon nuit!

Kind regards,

Tim

I remember time of Free Rhino but no time to use it (I was with the ZBrush beginnings more appetizing than "industrial" drawings! :)
More times later i crossed Moment of Inspiration beginnings by hasard in the regretted Push Pull Bar (a too much SketchUp Forum )
et voilà! :)

ZBrush is became unavoidable in many organic domains and Moi the more pleasant program of modeling to use!

Of course Rhino is became a monster in Nurbs world! :)

Yes! The free Rhino magazine coverdisc was a huge inspiration to me and I loved learning the software. I'm really showing my age when I admit that I first got started in 3D from a free 3.5" coverdisk (floppy!) for "Imagine 3D" on the Amiga! :D I think around 1994!

ZBrush is great once you get past the unusual workflows and slightly unintuitive UI. I love ZBrush though, I really don't think there is a better organic modelling software in my humble opinion. Creating beautiful, free-flowing organic forms and then converting them for import into MoI as Breps is such a pleasure. I completely understand why you would've preferred to explore the organic modelling of ZBrush than the "industrial" style of other softwares. My tastes are probably somewhere between the two. That's why I love James's node editor work (@nodeology) so much, it's that inspirational mix of organic with industrial elements that we see in modern design, especially automotive. I remember the first time that I discovered MoI, it was a revolution for me in terms of technical creativity, the fact that I could model without even having to think about topology, edge loops, quads, all that time-consuming nonsense. I completely agree with you Pilou, that MoI is by far the most relaxing and has the best user experience of any software I have used, I love its simplicity. Exactly the opposite of ZBrush! :D

Rhino has been around for such a long time as a dedicated NURBS modeller, I really wish I had stayed with it longer, it would've complimented my MoI workflow so much.

Thank you for suggesting your ZBrush site. I've had a good look around and enjoyed your content! :)

Remember when i made my avatar twenty year ago for a ZBrush challenge in less of one minute! :)
