Visual Basic .NET scripting
- In this video we'll look at scripting through Grasshopper using Visual Basic dot net, it's also called VB or VB.net for short. So in Rhino I've got the file, simple-fractal.3dm open and in Grasshopper I'm just starting with a blank file, so let's take a look at what we're going for in this video. Just going to zoom in a little bit here on this pattern, and this is kind of the end result of what we'll work on scripting so this simple fractal pattern where we start with an input line, and then we make new lines that are rotated a little bit around the starting point of the original line and just a little bit shorter. Each ones a little bit shorter than the last and each one is rotated some angle around that starting point. So that's what we're working towards, and now in the Algorithmic Thinking chapter we covered just what makes it so hard to do these sorts of recursive or fractal patterns in Grasshopper right out of the box without using a script. So let's jump over to Grasshopper…
