Keep seeing this popup on grasshopper searches and I noticed it on Amazon the other day. It’s a bit pricey, looks good but I’m skeptical of the 2014 publish date. Is this still relevant?
I know there are a million videos on GS online and I use them but I love a psychical book sometimes.
I have this book, and in my opinion this book is still relevant. Maybe the price has decreased because Arturo Tedeschi intends to release the newer edition.
Since it is about grasshopper 1.0 , and grasshopper 2.0 is not released yet, I think it is a good start for grasshopper beginners. So yes it is relevant and nicely illustrated.
The main difference between 0.9 and 1.0 is a boatload of bug fixes and a couple of new components. There are no fundamental changes to how the program works or looks.
There is also:
Data Input & Data Output (Params > Util)
Relay (Params > Util or double click a wire)
Quad Sphere (Surface>Primitive)
GHPython Script (Math>Script)
And some news in Panel Surface Utils Fillet Edge Convex Edges Edges from length Edges from face Edges from linearity Edges from points Edges from Direction
