Grasshopper to Three.js (view rhino models in a web browser?)

Hello all,

I was just curious if anyone else was looking into creating objects in Grasshopper that could be viewed in a html webgl canvas...

if this could be done like the ghowl component, export to kmz, and it would be perfect.

You could have parametric models, and share them in a web viewer. (such as this one)

https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/

I have found one exporter, so it might be possible to create a grasshopper component

http://www.virtualshape.com/en/download that referenced this tool.

but I would like to know if anyone else was looking for a way to view rhino/grasshopper models in a web browser, and if there might be a way to do this already.

thanks!

Hi Matthew,

I am still following this thread. I saw your work on github and it is very interesting. I have been working with json models and threejs as well, creating parametric models in a web viewer. I've deployed a test version here http://timcastelijn.nl/threejs/examples/webgl_interactive_object_ma...

I use json morphtargets (animation) to add a single controllable parameter per object. I am kind of stuck here, because I don't know how to add more parameters. Since you seem to have a lot of experience with grasshopper and threejs; Do you have any ideas about adding multiple parameters to a json model?

cheers,

Tim
