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

Rhino offers a comprehensive suite for creating, modifying, analyzing, documenting, rendering, animating, and converting NURBS curves, surfaces, solids, subdivision geometry (SubD), point clouds, and polygon meshes. The only limitations on complexity, degree, or size are dictated by your hardware capabilities. Its free-form 3D modeling tools rival those found in expensive software, enabling you to craft any shape you envision. With precision required for designing, prototyping, engineering, analyzing, and manufacturing a wide range of items—from aircraft to jewelry—Rhino ensures compatibility with all your design, drafting, CAM, engineering, analysis, rendering, animation, and illustration applications. It can read and repair intricate meshes and complex IGES files. The software is user-friendly, allowing you to concentrate on design and visualization without the software becoming a distraction. Remarkably efficient, it operates smoothly even on standard laptops without the need for specialized hardware. Furthermore, it serves as a foundational platform for numerous specialized 3D applications, broadening its utility in various fields. This versatility makes Rhino an indispensable tool for both professionals and enthusiasts alike.
