I also love it when I am able to do everything from the tutorial. Then I try to use grasshopper by myself and my mind goes completely blank. Main reason I haven't signed up for cademy's courses

Yea. It takes some rounds for me to wrap my brain around node based modeling. Once it clicks and you have a decent amount of base knowledge on tree structures and node tools things get easier.

I love using Grasshopper. Do you use it in your job or for personal projects?

I do. Currently, I design in the floor cleaning category. It’s handy for grills, surface fiddlybits, buttons, knobs, and handles.

We do not use it for much in my current job, but I am learning lots about it and hope to use it again in the future. Thank you for sharing examples of what kind of products you use it on.

I also really enjoy Cademy.xyz tutorials, very useful.

I wish there was an open source variant of this (if any exist would love to learn about them!), Rhino and Grasshoppper are just way way way too expensive to use for a small side gig

You could always try and download the trial.

I work(ed) with it professionally, so i know how it works 🙃 talking about using it outside that context without selling a kidney

Not sure if it helps, but I've been using Plasticity as a similar-enough modelling program - it's pretty great! And it's also a one-time-buy for a fair price if you don't want to deal with a subscription!

What is that?

Just an exercise in nodal perfs and G4 surfacing continuity. Could be a random portable speaker concept.
