This exercise proved for me that even the simplest Grasshopper steps can give complex and elegant outcomes.

I have just started the '28 Day Grasshopper Challenge' this month and wanted to share some words related with it. From the very first day, I realized this was no ordinary task. Ertunç asks you to create a geometry/model, but he makes you aware of the steps you take while creating this model. He also helps you create the model by giving you the necessary instructions in advance, but he doesn't overwhelm you with strict sets of instructions. What makes the course unique is that you don't use Grasshopper at first to create these models. You build your idea with pencil, paper, and scissors according to your own rules. I like this!

- The one thing that I learnt today I miss my university days :) It's been a long time since I last used a craft knife. Making a mockup of an idea and writing down the steps you take to make that mockup step by step is, as far as I understand, quite related to the concept of ‘computational design’.

- The one thing that I learnt today. To think properly in a Grasshopper-like way, you have to forget all the features of Rhino3D and think about modeling in its most ‘core’ form. For me, the most logical way to do this was to make sketches using paper and pencil.

I spent months building this challenge, and today is the final 24 hours of the Black Friday offer. So here’s everything in one simple, transparent post. You’ve probably seen these already, but here’s the full roadmap again: 🟩 7-Day Challenge 🟨 14-Day Challenge 🟧 21-Day Challenge 🟦 28-Day Challenge And together, these four phases give you 4 real portfolio projects. Not exercises. Not random forms. Actual spreads you can use to apply for computational design roles. You also unlock the full 10-Year Bonus Pack (20+ courses, ML bundle, automation tools, Rhino/GH files, studio diagrams, templates… around 35 GB). This one stays with you forever. Tomorrow 9 am ET (extended deadline for Skool) is the deadline to join with the Black Friday price. $299 at the link https://www.skool.com/grasshopper3d-lab-6917/classroom/6587fa18?md=50fc53b1bfcf462fb6c7dcb6086c2e71 $259 if you prefer PayPal Name: @ertunch I am only sending this because of time zones, not to pressure anyone. If it helps your learning, I’d be glad to have you inside. If not, I will continue to create free content here for you anyway. Best, Ertunc
