The entire geometry was made in Grasshopper (fully parametric), without even a single point drawn in the Rhino view port. The rendering was done using the ray-traced mode in Rhino.
The only external plugin I used was kangaroo 2 for some form-finding. Fibonacci spirals also came in very handy
Just make sure to disable the solver at the start, and also to have Kangaroo installed. You might need to disable/enable components sequentially based on the speed of your system.
