We develop custom tools and applets for Rhino including proprietary plugins for Grasshopper. We are open to any design field requiring computational design consulting and development. Some fields that we provided solutions for include Architecture/Engineering/City Planning/Design by Committee workflows/Industrial Design/AI augmented design workflows/Design documentation infrastructure/GIS.
Rhino is a powerful, open-source 3D modeling software that is used for a wide range of purposes in design, engineering, and architecture. It's known for its flexibility, accuracy, and ability to handle complex geometry. Rhino's simple, intuitive interface and extensive tools for creating, editing, and analyzing 3D models make it a popular choice among professionals and students alike. Additionally, Rhino is compatible with a wide range of file formats and plug-ins, allowing it to easily integrate with other software and tools. With Rhino, the possibilities are endless for creating accurate and detailed 3D models for any project.
Grasshopper is a popular visual programming platform for Rhino 3D that allows users to create complex geometries and models through a simple, intuitive interface. Instead of writing code, users work with "nodes" that represent various mathematical functions, operations and geometries. Users can connect the nodes to create a flow chart, or "graph" which will control the design process. This way, Grasshopper allows users to design in a more exploratory, iterative and data-driven way. This process is sometimes referred to as "computational design" which is widely used in design fields such as architecture, industrial design, and jewelry design. It's a powerful tool to create parametric models and automate tasks, enables real-time design feedback and easy experimentation.
Rhino Compute is a cloud-based platform that allows users to run Rhino and Grasshopper scripts and commands on remote servers, allowing for faster processing of large and complex models. This enables users to perform tasks such as rendering, simulation, and analysis without needing a high-performance computer. It also allows for easy collaboration and sharing of models, as users can access and edit the same model from different locations.
Both Rhino Compute and Rhino3dm.js expand the capabilities of Rhino by allowing users to perform tasks on remote servers, and by enabling the integration of Rhino functionality into web-based applications. They can allow greater collaboration, scalability and flexibility when using Rhino in different settings.
Rhino3dm.js is a JavaScript library that enables the use of Rhino and Grasshopper functionality in web applications. This means that users can create, edit, and analyze 3D models directly in a web browser, without the need for a local installation of Rhino. Rhino3dm.js also allows for integration with other web technologies, such as Three.js for 3D rendering, and allows for the creation of interactive 3D web applications, such as configurators, design tools, and visualization tools.
