When you have an easy AI button that makes it for you then it trivializes [the process].” —Andy Payne</li> <li>“Originally the product was called Explicit History, because it was a different approach to Rhino's native (implicit) history feature.” —David Rutten</li> </ul> <h2>Links</h2> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinoceros_3D">Rhinoceros</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grasshopper_3D">Grasshopper 3D</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://nono.ma/david-rutten-on-explicit-history">Explicit History</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form-Z">Form-Z</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk_3ds_Max">3ds Max</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="http://liftarchitects.squarespace.com/journal/2008/8/29/slow-food-nation-opening-night.html">Slow Food Nation Canopy</a> (2008)</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.liftarchitects.com/blog/2009/3/25/grasshopper-primer-english-edition">Grasshopper Primer</a> by Andy Payne & Rajaa Issa</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.shapediver.com/blog/grasshopper-data-trees-explained-pt-1">Grasshopper Data Trees</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/compute/">Rhino.Compute</a> (<a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://github.com/mcneel/compute.rhino3d">Source code</a>)</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/compute/what-is-hops/">Grasshopper Hops</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://discourse.mcneel.com/t/rhino-8-feature-gh1-is-now-more-than-just-geometry/147294">New Grasshopper data types</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://developer.rhino3d.com/guides/compute/core-hour-billing/">Rhino Core-Hour Billing</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language">Visual Programming</a> </li> <li>C-Sharp (C#), Visual Basic (VB) & Python</li> <li>Stable Diffusion, DALL-E & Midjourney</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.artic.edu/artworks/111628/nighthawks">Nighthawks</a> by Edward Hopper</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA_effect">IKEA effect</a> </li> </ul> <h2>People mentioned</h2> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajaaissa/">Rajaa Issa</a> · McNeel</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.youtube.com/DavidRutten">David Rutten</a> · McNeel</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonkellyjohnson/">Jason Kelly Johnson</a> · <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://www.futureforms.us/">FUTUREFORMS</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://twitter.com/KangarooPhysics">Daniel Piker</a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://shelbydoyle.com/">Shelby Doyle</a> </li> <li>Edward Hopper</li> <li> <a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://gettingsimple.com/pan">Panagiotis Michalatos</a> </li> </ul> <h2>Chapters</h2> <ul> <li>00:00 · Introduction</li> <li>00:35 · Andy Payne</li> <li>04:11 · Grasshopper origins</li> <li>07:23 · Andy meets Grasshopper</li> <li>09:19 · Grasshopper Primer</li> <li>10:26 · Grasshopper 1.0</li> <li>13:22 · Grasshopper 2</li> <li>15:11 · Developing Grasshopper</li> <li>16:59 · New data types</li> <li>18:57 · Rhino Compute & Hops</li> <li>22:32 · Cloud billing</li> <li>27:05 · Teaching</li> <li>30:07 · Visual programming</li> <li>36:23 · Open source & monetization</li> <li>42:03 · McNeel Forum</li> <li>50:07 · Connect with Andy</li> <li>51:57 · Learning to code</li> <li>58:00 · Generative AI</li> <li>01:02:09 · The IKEA effect</li> <li>01:05:38 · Authorship</li> <li>01:08:56 · AI trade-offs</li> <li>01:12:58 · Panagiotis Michalatos</li> <li>01:16:02 · Advice for young people</li> <li>01:17:08 · Success</li> <li>01:18:35 · $100 or less</li> <li>01:20:12 · Outro</li> </ul> <br /> <p>I'd love to hear from you.</p> <p><a href="https://gettingsimple.com/record">Submit a question</a> about this or any previous episodes.</p> <p><a target="_blank" class="is-external" href="https://discord.gg/DdsefVZ">Join the Discord community</a>.
