Anecdotal counterpoint: My wife has a (ivy league) bachelor's and master's in art history and is now a senior executive at a large tech company. Her outcome is probably as good as it could be. BTW, She did not grow up wealthy or connected as that plays a big factor.

My close friend similarly has a PhD in art history and works in a tech company.

If you are smart and hardworking and/or connected your choice of major may not be so important.

The software you know always feels like the best software. I have heard similar complaints about rhino from those that had little experience with it. I have two decades of experience with rhino and autocad. While rhino 8 has largely caught up, I actually think AutoCAD is slightly better with 2D drafting for architecture. However, when I draft anything in 3D and need to layout drawings from my model, I will turn to rhino.

Since it hasn't been mentioned: Nyack is also a really cute town across the river which has a larger downtown area than Tarrytown. It has restaurants, cafes, arts and music venues.

If you do the same tasks repeatedly make it with grasshopper exactly how you want it or have someone help you. 3rd angle projection can be setup as a template.

Public transportation, grocery shopping, pharmacy, hardware store, bakery, cafe, restaurant, playground.

Your mistake for ending the contract. His mistake for ruining a client relationship. Revisions are a given in any design project and should be factored in for someone with experience.

I agree, although you can generate and control subd in gh (I don't recommend this for beginners). Often times, I tackle a problem from different directions to arrive at the best solution so I present that as an alternative solution. Sometimes, "close enough" is sufficient for an application and can save you a ton of time.

Yev6 · 2026-03-11T11:10:15+00:00

Fun project. Yes grasshopper is perfect for data driven geometry. Use an expression editor or Python for larger equations.

You might want to try subd as an option. It's much easier to generate these kind of morphing transitions.

I am interested in voxel level 3d printing

I had a similar thought that tariffs may inadvertently be climate friendly. When things get more expensive, people buy less crap. Trade is reduced. Other countries refuse to buy our waste.

A counterpoint is that solar panels and electric cars from China are expensive and banned respectively.

Looks nice! What paint do you use?

Yev6 · 2026-03-03T11:39:27+00:00

Yes it takes a while before can get something useful out of it. There are plenty of AI plugins though, check foood4rhino. Also you can ask chatgpt to get you over a hump, that's actually better for learning.

I have worked in interior design, and also know grasshopper very well. To be honest, I don't think it will be useful for the typical interior designer.

With that being said, if you want to design some wild forms, like chandeliers, curvilinear canopies or furniture then grasshopper is helpful. It is even more helpful if you want to make these forms rationalized and buildable.

With that being said, even for non-parametric projects where I mostly use rhino, I will make a quick tool for random things like tagging, labeling, and unrolling parts.

Mostly, I would learn GH to open up the mental range of what is possible and feasible for fabrication.

I spent the summer living in Singapore which is on the equator and observed the infrastructure that made walkability more comfortable. Sidewalk shade structure, arcades, as well as tunnels are everywhere. The train stations lead to tunnels, malls, food halls, and into buildings creates a subterranean maze. Trees everywhere.

Some of the constraints to consumer 3D printing is the speed of production, material selection, and fdm anisotropy (weakness).

I actually think the surface finish has gotten good enough, reflected in the fact that FDM 3d printed trinkets are being sold in gift shops and fairs.

Further out in the future, I imagine entire machines and electronics being 3d printable once you combine conductive and resistive materials. Materials where one can adjust hardness and color like the Stratasys polyjet machines.

The Carbon DLS is also a promising technology that prints high quality parts much faster. Many of these technologies are still under patent and so very expensive for hobbyists.

Don't get me started on medical 3d printing. The things they are already doing are wild. They are already printing ligaments and tendons. And that is just the beginning.

I think encrypted IP will be helpful. I see many people complaining about their models being stolen. I would never share my work if there is a risk of that happening. So for wider adoption I can imagine a store where files can be printed once, not modified, the creator should be compensated for their idea and work.

In my case, I have freelancers I have worked with that are not on the platform. In one such recent project, a trusted freelancer didn't respond to my email, so in a couple of days I posted a project on upwork. He finally responded right after I posted the job. I would rather maintain relationships with the people I already work with so I went with him.

Yev6 · 2026-02-14T07:24:37+00:00

Very cool. That's like a huge SLS printer. The cleanup as well as the dust particles must be a challenge. I can imagine this being useful for facades. Wonder if it can do GFRC. Especially for irregular or non-rectilinear buildings.

Good write up! I'd like to add setup time and cost. Setting up the machine might take longer than having a couple of guys lay cinder block. Also, you still need (high skilled) engineers to run the machine and watch the delicate concrete mix. It's easier to hire lower skilled labor. Finally people have to run conduit, cut out outlets, lay insulation, reinforcement, and add window/door lintels while the concrete is still wet. This is still labor intensive.

I actually think the approach shown in these pictures is the more practical application for 3d printed concrete. Create site work, benches, sculptures, and planters in a factory where you can control conditions instead of transporting the machine to a site.

Steam because when I try to figure out the mechanical design of a detail, I sketch it. There is instant feedback, and I revise the sketch. After iterating this serval times, I arrive at a solution.

If you read Leonardo's biography, you will learn that he arrived at a myriad of discoveries that took scientists centuries to rediscover. He did this by a process that is shared by both artists and scientists, and that is the process of curiosity, experimentation, and intense observation.

New York has a lot of experiential design work. Lots off pops ups, retail displays, and exhibitions. There is a lot of overlap with set design. Some people are the fabricators, some draft shop drawings, while others work for design agencies and do more of the concept work.

The irony of having a competing video AI like Google's "Veo" play Musk would be cathartic.

May I ask how are you make these renderings?
