BASICS - CUP This week we were introduced to the Grasshopper extension for Rhino, and tasked with creating either a basic loft or a cup without using any tools from the Rhino interface.

After working through all of the weeks grasshopper tutorials, I began experimenting with creating a cup.

The details of how I created the final product are shown on this page. The final product came out just as I expected and fulfilled the brief.

I’m excited to continue learning about Grasshopper and to expand my currently limited skillset.
