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!

This website can do exactly what you want! It can directly show converted Rhino models (using a small tool they provided) in browser without any plugin.

Within Three.js there is an python export utility, With a little bit of adaption I am shure this can be converted to a three.js exporter. Let me know if you indent to do that, otherwise I will give it a go in about a month or so..

I thought about the same thing as working on my website at the moment. interesting links guys!

but of course it would be a different quality to have the ability to interact, have sliders and to able to show more process oriented sketchs like in processing.

so antoino i m very curious with what you want to come up with.. :-)

also it would be interesting to hear from the developer if something like this is intended for future releases..
