Grasshopper: Procedural Panels

For this tutorial we will be developing a panel system for the superformula towers we made in the previous session. This tutorial is heavily influenced by the parametric truss tutorial by David Fano which can be found at http://designreform.net/2009/07/rhino-grasshopper-parametric-truss .

Grasshopper: Superformula Tower

This workshop will utilize grasshopper to create a volumetric surface based on a series of the superformual equations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superformula

In the workshop the tower is composed of five curves, though only three are used here for cleaner definition screenshots.
