  1. What a beautiful design! I want to know how you can make the track sure bright. I can use Rhino to make the lines. But how can I capture the drawing from Rhino? or you use rendering software to do that?

    • This video is using processing, I built the original library for java and used it in processing, later I built the .NET version that works with Grasshopper. You can download Culebra 2 and use that with Rhino & GH. I am actually updating it for Rhino 7 as well.
