Recap: Day 2 of Transforming Architecture Workshop This post showcases the creative evolution of a digital whale concept during the PAAcademy's PAACADEMY workshop, Transforming Architecture. Starting from an AI-generated image crafted in MidJourney, the design transitioned into 3D using Meshy AI. From there, it was refined in Rhino and brought to life with animation and lighting in Luma AI. This process exemplifies the fusion of AI tools and 3D modeling, pushing the boundaries of architectural storytelling. Thank you, PAACADEMY, for this transformative learning experience! #AIto3D #TransformingArchitecture #ThePAAcademy #3DModeling #MidJourney #Rhino3D #LumaAI #DesignWorkshop

✨A concept design of wavey skin by Amir Ghasemi, instructor of the upcoming “Advanced Grasshopper 2.0” workshop on December 7 - 8, 2024. Register Now: Tap the 🔗 link: https://lnkd.in/e-anim6H This workshop will comprehensively explore several modeling methods in Grasshopper. First, we will go through the data structure in Grasshopper as it is the fundamental need for our next steps. Then, we will explore using mathematical operations and equations in Grasshopper. At this stage, we will practice modeling foldable surfaces and structures as they are well-related to mathematic operations. Physics and force simulation is the next part of this workshop, in which examples of tensile and minimal surfaces will be provided. Mesh-based modeling plugins and strategies will be covered to design complex geometries and morphing surface patterns. The other part of our workshop will focus on the voxel-based model and its integration. Students will work individually on their projects. 📑 Topic: Advanced Grasshopper 2.0 📅 Date: December 7 - 8, 2024 🕕 Time: 14:00 – 18:00 GMT ⚒️ Software: Rhinoceros 3D, Grasshopper 3D, Ladybug, Weaverbird, Kangaroo, Dendro, Pufferfish, LunchBox 🧑🏼🎓 Total Seats: 50 seats 🛒 15% Discount for Digital Members. #artificialintelligence #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #architecturestudents #formgeneration #rhino3d

M-CELL: Hybrid fabrication with a Robot by Luis Arturo Pacheco, instructor of the upcoming “Parametric Workflows with Blender: Animating Robots for Digital Fabrication” workshop on January 11 - 12, 2025. Register Now: Tap the 🔗 link: https://lnkd.in/e8N6Z5_y This workshop will explore several digital fabrication workflows using Blender. It will begin by introducing the fundamentals of Blender’s interface and navigation to ensure all participants are comfortable with the software environment. We’ll set up a workspace tailored for digital fabrication tasks and familiarize ourselves with Blender. We will export some manually generated toolpaths to get conformable with blender’s main interface. Next, we’ll delve into Geometry Nodes, Blender’s powerful system for procedural and parametric modeling. We’ll explore how node-based workflows can generate toolpaths, and we’ll practice creating toolpaths for drawing and cutting applications using plotters and CNC machines. 📑 Topic: Parametric Workflows with Blender: Animating Robots for Digital Fabrication 📅 Date: January 11 - 12, 2025 🕕 Time: 14:00 – 18:00 GMT ⚒️ Software: Blender, Tissue add-on 🧑🏼🎓 Total Seats: 50 seats 🛒 15% Discount for Digital Members. #parametricdesign #computationaldesign #architecturestudents #formgeneration #blender #digitalfabrication #animating
