Understanding paneling in Grasshopper
- [Instructor] In this video, we'll talk about an advanced transformation technique in Grasshopper called paneling. Paneling is essentially a repeated morphing operation over an irregular surface. In the example here, I've got some base geometry in Rhino, so that's those two solid objects, alongside a freeform lofted surface. You could imagine that this form is maybe a ring or a bracelet that a jewelry designer might be working on. So, with this paneling technique, we can take a surface and divide it up into a series of target boxes, then apply a box morph to our base geometry to fit it to each of those boxes on the target surface. And as you can see, as the curvature of that target surface changes, the morphed base geometry changes too. Paneling is a great example of something that would be very difficult, if not impossible to do in Rhino without the aid of Grasshopper. So let's walk through our Grasshopper…
