Calling all Industrial Design professionals and students! Enhance your Rhino 3D and Grasshopper skills by joining our LIVE Free Webinar 8.0.
In this session, we will dive into the world of parametric surface textures, with a special focus on creating fading patterns for the Apple Watch strap. Using Rhinoceros 3D as our base, we’ll demonstrate how to set up the model and prepare it for patterning. Then, inside Grasshopper, we’ll explore step-by-step how to generate 2D patterns and transform them into 3D fading textures that smoothly blend into boundaries with positional (G0) continuity.
Unlike traditional CAD workflows in Fusion, SolidWorks, or CATIA where such patterns can take hours, Grasshopper allows us to build these textures in just a few steps. You’ll also see how the same workflow can be adapted to other product categories such as suitcases, consumer electronics, and hard drives. To finish, we’ll provide you with all the step-by-step Rhino & Grasshopper files, so you can follow along during the live session and even 3D print your own strap afterwards.
This webinar is designed to be engaging and beginner-friendly, showing just how easy it is to start creating parametric textures in Grasshopper. Don’t miss this opportunity to broaden your skills in Rhino, Grasshopper, and industrial design workflows.
