This tutorial explores one way equations can be used to make surfaces (and, as in our case here, meshes) in 3D modelling. To do this, we study a page in the unique and beautiful book Pasta by Design by George L. Legendre.

In this video we examine the equations a little. We experiment by changing some of the variables to see what effects they have on the surface of the pasta.

This is a supplementary video that covers some issues that might arise related to the Rhino 8 scripting component and/or some issues you might encounter if you’re unfamiliar with C# in Grasshopper.
