algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Octopus is a plug-in for applying evolutionary principles to parametric design and problem solving. It allows the search for many goals at once, producing a range of optimized trade-off solutions between the extremes of each goal.
Also see octopus.E for custom evolutionary algorithms.

It is part of a range of tools developed at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and Bollinger+Grohmann Engineers.
Octopus introduces multiple fitness values to the optimization. The best trade-offs between those objectives are searched, producing a set of possible optimum solutions that ideally reach from one extreme trade-off to the other.
Based on SPEA-2 and HypE from ETH Zürich and David Rutten's Galapagos User Interface. Developed by Robert Vierlinger in cooperation with Christoph Zimmel, karamba3d.com and Bollinger+Grohmann Engineers.

It looks very interesting! Let me give a try :)
It's about time. Galapagos is wonderful but this looks like it will be a lot more useful. Nice work!
it took some time for my project on food4rhino to be approved, but now it is there to download
Hello,
How are doing ?
I can' t download Octopus. The acces is denied.
Something could be done to fix that ?
Best
