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.

The plugin consists of a multithreaded simulation core and a set of tools for defining particle behaviors as well as their environment. Nuclei features unique voxel implementations for a powerful approach where particles adapt their behavior based on the highly customizable environment.

This addon have useful tools like different extend tools, convert Grasshopper script to geometry, modified pipe , math tools , text tools and more.

tOpos is a 3D Topology Optimisation plugin which is using GPU for computation acceleration. It is based on CUDA technology provided by NVIDIA. Current version of tOpos require NVIDIA graphic card with Cuda Computation Capability (cc) higher or equal to 3.0. Here you can check if you generation of GPU is compatible with tOpos. Also check if you drivers are up to date (do not use Windows Update drivers! Install newest drivers form NVIDIA website). Your graphic card drivers version need to be at least 376.51.

In PedSim®, People move from Start Gate to Destination Gate, following the shortest route, avoiding obstacles and other People. If they see a Target of their Interest, they will go to that Target, stay a while and re-route to the Destination Gate.

This is the fourth release of my plug-in which enables you to create loops in Grasshopper. The basic workflow relies on two main components

This is an outcome from a research in Computaional Design. Althought it is not that completed, you could enjoy it.

BullAnt is a Rhino3d/Grasshopper plug-in primarily for Architects and Engineers (but also other Rhino/Grasshopper users) featuring computational design tools to enhance and extend Rhino/Grasshopper.  BullAnt features commands including mesh relaxation (minimal surfaces), mesh inflation (ETFE cushions), symmetry automation, tessellation (polygon packing), geodesic domes and curve network processing.  Much of the structural sketching functionality is now deprecated and available in ggRhinoIFC plugin.

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.

Rabbit is an open-source plug-in for McNeel’s Grasshopper that simulates biological and physical processes.

Wasp is a Grasshopper plug-in, developed in Python, offering combinatorial tools to design with discrete elements. The description of each part includes all information necessary for the aggregation process (part geometry, connections location and orientation). The connections define the topological graph of the part, which is used to define the possibilities of aggregation with other parts. Wasp offers a series of aggregation procedures, allowing geometry- and data-driven generation of structures. Additionally, it provides tools for constraining the resulting aggregation, both at the local and global level, as well as utilities to visualize and process it.

With the Oricut Plugin, you can design Parametric Patterns for Origami & Kirigami. You can also get started by downloading the example files from our website.

Heteroptera is an Always WIP addon, developed thus far to address the gaps the Helioripple team had faced while handling several projects by grasshopper.

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.

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

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.

Meshedit is a set of components which extend Grasshopper’s ability to work with meshes.

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.

Jackalope is included with Grasshopper in Rhino 6 and Rhino 7 for Windows and Mac It’s a plugin that implements the standard Rhino space morph operations: Bend, Flow, Maelstrom, Splop, Splorph, Stretch, Taper, and Twist.

This component creates Perlin and Simplex noise. In the Grasshopper scripting on RhinoCommon here at McNeel Europe we teach to program a component that does this, in C# and Vb.Net. Grasshopper contains a 1D Perlin noise function (similar to sines summations), but this functionality cannot be directly extended to more dimensions.
