Shell modeling


Good evening,

what is the best way to model this shell with the stairs using Rhino and Grasshopper? Does anyone have any tips? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi Celia,

In my opinion, something organic looking like this is best done by hand-modelling it.
In Rhino, you can use SubD modelling for such purposes.
It would be pretty hard and tedious to do something like this in Grasshopper.

I agree wit @diff-arch. One thing you could do in Grasshopper for the initial form finding, is to use kangaroo to find a relaxed surface shape and move from there back to Rhino. (But also not as straight forward then just doing it all in Rhino)
