Description
For designers delving into innovative shapes through generative algorithms, Grasshopper® serves as a graphical algorithm editor seamlessly integrated with Rhino’s powerful 3-D modeling capabilities. Unlike RhinoScript, which requires programming knowledge, Grasshopper enables designers to create form generators ranging from simple designs to remarkably complex structures without any coding expertise. Available in Rhino 7 for both Mac and Windows, Grasshopper comes with numerous resources for those eager to learn more about its functionalities. With enhancements included in this version, users can easily test their existing Grasshopper definitions and plug-ins, which should all remain compatible. The prevalence of Grasshopper in various design discussions is noteworthy, and you might even recognize its canvas in other software applications. In this latest iteration, Rhino 7 introduces new components while also simplifying the process of transforming programs into plug-ins, allowing users to convert their Grasshopper definitions directly into Rhino commands. Additionally, there are tools to quickly identify overlapping objects in your model, along with a placeholder component for any missing plug-ins. This versatility makes Grasshopper an indispensable tool for modern designers seeking to push the boundaries of their creative endeavors.
Description
Penguin enhances Rhino and AutoCAD by introducing freehand sketching, watercolor effects, cartoon-style illustrations, and technical drawings. As a non-photometric scan line renderer, Penguin allows users to produce stylized representations of their models, infusing them with an artistic flair for greater graphic and visual impact. The latest version, Penguin 2.0, operates seamlessly within Rhino and maintains the same hardware requirements as its predecessor. Both Rhino and Penguin are compatible with standard Windows desktop and laptop computers, eliminating the need for specialized hardware beyond what AutoCAD necessitates. Fully integrated into Rhino, Penguin 2.0 allows access to its configuration settings through the typical Rhino dialog interface, either via the properties panel or object properties. The dockable object properties panel is designed to update dynamically while executing different commands or altering selections, ensuring a smooth workflow. Furthermore, Penguin 2.0 is compatible with all native Rhino objects, including 2D elements such as dimensions and curves, enabling users to customize specific settings for these objects just like they would for any other model component. This functionality not only broadens the creative possibilities within design projects but also enriches the user experience by making artistic rendering more accessible.
