Examples
Dendro
Dendro is a volumetric modeling plug-in for Grasshopper built on top of the OpenVDB library. It provides multiple ways to wrap points, curves, and meshes as a volumetric data type, allowing you to then perform various operations on those volumes. Dendro includes components for boolean, smoothing, offsets, and morphing operations.
Cluebra
Culebra.NET is a 2D|3D Multi Object Behavior library written in C# (Wrapper around Culebra Java library) focused on hybrid system interactions with custom Visualization, Data, and performance features. It contains a collection of objects and behaviors for creating dynamic multi agent interactions. For more information see the Culebra Java Library.
Biber
Biber is a plug-in for Rhino-Grasshopper which enables parametric joinery. It enables the joinery industry to take advantage of the parametric design workflow and makes design and production easier and more affordable. this plug-in is being developed in collaboration with Hochschule Mainz, Germany (Prof. Klaus Teltenkötter, Sascha Urban)
Ivy
Additionally if you are interested in the research behind Ivy you can read these two papers. Please consider citing them if ivy helps you in your research and up-vote the plug-in if it is helpful for your work.
Elefront
EleFront v4.3.0 is the Rhino 6 legacy release. Component names and icons have been changed to make it easy to distinguish from the new version. Only install if you want to have the stable version and the beta installed side by side. If you are not testing the beta and only work in Rhino 6, install version 4.2.2 instead. Version 4.3.0 works in Rhino 7 as well, but does not implement any of the new features that are present in Rhino 7 only.
Stripper
This toolkit focuses on the versatile nature of meshes, providing various effective functionalities for working with and editing mesh topology. Heavily inspired and driven by the concept of edge loops (thank you, Autodesk Maya and Pixologic ZBrush), the organizational data structure behind mesh construction provides a plethora of design possibilities, some of which are still being discovered today.
Flexhopper
FlexHopper offers very fast, particle-based physics simulation within Grasshopper. It let’s you simulate unconstraint particles, fluids, rigid and soft bodies, textile and spring system, inflatables and a combination of all these materials in one scene at unparalleled speed. You can add collision geometry, define custom constraints and emit new particles during runtime.
Wombat
Wombat for GH is an open source series of miscellaneous utilities aimed at improving modeling processes by streamlining common tasks. It includes components for operating on geometry, lists, files and folders, and visualizing the geometric properties of surfaces and meshes. Originally developed by Andrew Heumann and Brian Ringley while members of the Woods Bagot Design Technology team, maintained by WB DT. Open source at https://github.com/woodsbagot/WombatGH
ShapeMap
ShapeMap is a plugin for Grasshopper, developed by the McNeel Asia China team. It integrates multiple basic functions in Rhino and has undergone secondary development. This plugin allows users to map any curve texture designed on a plane onto the surfaces of complex 3D models, while minimizing or eliminating deformation of the texture curves on the 3D surfaces. With ShapeMap, designing textures on 3D model surfaces becomes much easier, and the operation process is intuitive and simple.
Firefly
Firefly offers a set of software tools dedicated to bridging the gap between Grasshopper (a free plug-in for Rhino) and micro-controllers like the Arduino. 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.
GhPython
For designers who want to use the same flexible language everywhere, GhPython is the Python interpreter component for Grasshopper that allows to execute dynamic scripts of any type. Unlike other scripting components, GhPython allows to use the rhinoscriptsyntax to start scripting without needing to be a programmer. Once on-board and with some practice, you can also get the most of external Python and .Net modules and libraries.
Crystallon
Crystallon is an open source project for creating lattice structures using Rhino and Grasshopper3D. Each tool is left as a cluster which can be opened and modified at will, in the spirit of open source. We hope the community will continue to develop and contribute to Crystallon through the use of the Grasshopper group and Github.
Weaverbird
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 reconstructs the shape, subdivides any mesh, even made by polylines, and helps preparing for fabrication.
