Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers. Instead of doing the work repeatedly, or sometimes using complicated scripts, this plug-in helps reconstructing shapes as meshes, subdivides and refines even polyline lists, and helps preparing the model for fabrication. Weaverbird is the first released addon for Grasshopper but the group is new, so please join it to participate in discussions, ask questions…See More

Kangaroo is a Live Physics engine for interactive simulation, optimization and form-finding directly within Grasshopper. See More

Firefly offers a set of comprehensive software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper, (a free plug-in for Rhino) the Arduino microcontroller and other input/output devices. It allows near real-time data flow between the digital and physical worlds – enabling the possibility to explore virtual and physical prototypes with unprecedented fluidity.See More

Ladybug is a free and open source environmental plugin for Grasshopper to help designers create an environmentally-conscious architectural design. Ladybug allows you to: import and analyze standard weather data in Grasshopper; draw diagrams like Sun-path, wind-rose, radiation-rose, etc; customize the diagrams in several ways; run radiation analysis, shadow studies, and view analysis for your design inside Grasshopper!Ladybug only works on Rhino 5.0. Unfortunately, there is no version for Rhino…See More

I'm pleased to announce a brand new update to the Grasshopper Plug-in formerly known as HDT Utilities, and now called Human!Why the name change? My colleague Marc Syp at NBBJ pointed out that no one knew what HDT meant (Heumann Design/Tech, but that was unclear) and that I was missing an opportunity to follow the typical…See More
