Tonight 2/27: Fab Lab Night Plus - Grasshopper

All,

Tonight as an experiment in blending Fab Lab Night with the "Salon"
idea we were talking about, I'll be giving a short talk about
Grasshopper.

Grasshopper is a plugin for Rhino that let's you create generative /
parametric designs. My plan is to show off the basic functionality
and then have a discussion / jam session about generative design.

My plan was to redistribute a VM with Grasshopper pre-installed, but
that has not been as easy to build as I thought it would be. So you'd
be best off if you came with Grasshopper already installed if you want
to play along. My apologies.

Is this it? http://www.grasshopper3d.com/

Does it require windows?

Yes, that is it. And unfortunately it does require Windows.

I have a VirtualBox VM on my laptop with Windows XP, Rhino (trial
version), Grasshopper, and all the associated libraries and junk. It
has a few few personal files mixed in, and that's why I was going to
create a new clean one from scratch. I'm willing to give a copy of
this one to people once I make a few changes to it.

So, if you bring a computer with VirtualBox, we should be able to get
you up and running.
