Rhino是是美国Robert McNeel & Assoc.开发的PC上强大的专业3D造型软件，它可以广泛地应用于三维动画制作、工业制造、科学研究以及机械设计等领域。它能轻易整合3DS MAX 与Softimage的模型功能部分，对要求精细、弹性与复杂的3D NURBS模型，有点石成金的效能。能输出obj、DXF、IGES、STL、3dm等不同格式，并适用于几乎所有3D软件，尤其对增加整个3D工作团队的模型生产力有明显效果，故使用3D MAX、AutoCAD、MAYA、Softimage、Houdini、Lightwave等3D设计人员不可不学习使用。

ThinkParametric Roof Structure Centre Pompidou Metz

In this course, we’re going to model an organic roof structure to a schematic design level and for our reference project we’re going to use the Centre Pompidou in Metz from Shigeru Ban architects. We’ll start by generating the pattern for the roof structure flat on the construction plane and we’ll show you the logic behind this interesting pattern using Grasshopper 3D.

Next up, we’re going to model the roof shape, using a plugin for Rhino called T-splines. This plugin will allow us to model organic shapes more fast and accurate. When we’ve modeled the roof shape, we’ll use Kangaroo, a physics engine plugin for Grasshopper, to relax the roof shape to a more natural form.When we have the final shape of the roof, we’ll jump back to our pattern we generated in the beginning of the course and project that pattern on the roof shape using Grasshopper again.

Finally when we have our structural lines projected, we’ll use Grasshopper to generate the structural beams and generate the interwoven pattern of the structure.
