Our job as developers is to make it as easy as possible. […] There’s something about the craft and time you spent developing your ideas into a 3D model. There’s something about that investment that makes it worthwhile. When you have an easy AI button that makes it for you then it trivializes [the process].” —Andy Payne “Originally the product was called Explicit History, because it was a different approach to Rhino's native (implicit) history feature.” —David Rutten Links Rhinoceros Grasshopper 3D Explicit History Form-Z 3ds Max Slow Food Nation Canopy (2008) Grasshopper Primer by Andy Payne & Rajaa Issa Grasshopper Data Trees Rhino.Compute (Source code) Grasshopper Hops New Grasshopper data types Rhino Core-Hour Billing Visual Programming C-Sharp (C#), Visual Basic (VB) & Python Stable Diffusion, DALL-E & Midjourney Nighthawks by Edward Hopper IKEA effect People mentioned Rajaa Issa · McNeel David Rutten · McNeel Jason Kelly Johnson · FUTUREFORMS Daniel Piker Shelby Doyle Edward Hopper Panagiotis Michalatos Chapters 00:00 · Introduction 00:35 · Andy Payne 04:11 · Grasshopper origins 07:23 · Andy meets Grasshopper 09:19 · Grasshopper Primer 10:26 · Grasshopper 1.0 13:22 · Grasshopper 2 15:11 · Developing Grasshopper 16:59 · New data types 18:57 · Rhino Compute & Hops 22:32 · Cloud billing 27:05 · Teaching 30:07 · Visual programming 36:23 · Open source & monetization 42:03 · McNeel Forum 50:07 · Connect with Andy 51:57 · Learning to code 58:00 · Generative AI 01:02:09 · The IKEA effect 01:05:38 · Authorship 01:08:56 · AI trade-offs 01:12:58 · Panagiotis Michalatos 01:16:02 · Advice for young people 01:17:08 · Success 01:18:35 · $100 or less 01:20:12 · Outro I'd love to hear from you.
