   #73: Andy Payne — Grasshopper, Rhino Compute, Teaching, Learning to Code & Gen AI

   Andy Payne—architect and software developer at McNeel—on the origins of Grasshopper, Grasshopper 2, Rhino.Compute, teaching, learning to code, generative AI, open-source code, and his journey. Andy Payne is a licensed architect and software developer at Robert McNeel & Associates, the company behind Rhino and Grasshopper 3D. He is a Doctor of Design graduate from Harvard's Graduate School of Design (2014).

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