## Lampshades
During 2022, I was exposed to some of the awesomenest tools for architects.
One of them was Rhino, a 3D modeling software that is used for a lot of architectural design.
I hate it. It has quite an unreadable interface and is not very intuitive, with straight-up 80s vibes.
It has plugins though, and one of them is Grasshopper, a visual programming language that is used to create parametric models.
Grasshopper is insanely powerful and seems to be a full-fledged programming language, but it is also very intuitive and easy to use, rather similar to the new node-based flows unreal engine and blender are now starting.
Sadly, grasshopper does not come as a standalone, and it requires Rhino to run and achieve many of the modeling steps.
In 2022, I was introduced to some of the most powerful tools used by architects.
One of them was Rhino, a professional 3D modeling software widely used in architectural design.
Initially, I struggled with it - its interface felt dated and unintuitive, reminiscent of 1980s software design.
However, it has a robust plugin ecosystem, and one plugin in particular changed everything: Grasshopper, a visual programming language for creating parametric models.
Grasshopper is remarkably powerful, functioning as a full-fledged programming environment, while remaining intuitive and accessible. Its node-based workflow is similar to modern systems now appearing in Unreal Engine and Blender.
The only downside is that Grasshopper isn't standalone - it requires Rhino for both running and executing many modeling operations.
In that combination, Rhino suddenly becomes much more appealing, and I started to enjoy the process of modeling in it.
I was able to create a parametric lampshade that I am very happy with and can modify on the fly for ever-new lampshades.
The combination of Rhino and Grasshopper transformed my perspective, and I began to appreciate the sophisticated modeling process.
I developed a parametric lampshade design that I'm particularly proud of - one that can be instantly modified to create endless variations.
Then printing it with white filament in vase mode was a breeze and here you can see some of the results.
3D printing the designs proved straightforward - using white filament in vase mode produced these elegant results:
