Examples
Bullant GH
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.
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.
WASP
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
CurvePlus
Curve plus is a collection of curve modifier components developed over several years and wrapped up in this little library. The components range from simply exposing Rhinocommon curve commands, like spirals and control point weighting, to new tools like blending corners and a range of radial spirals. These components integrate into existing Grasshopper Curve, Vector, and Mesh tabs.
Topos
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.
Axolotl
XOLOTL provides a set of components for volumetric modeling in Rhino Grasshopper. They work based on the principle of signed distance functions (SDF). In boundary representations (BRep), objects are defined by vertices connected by edges and faces. In function representations (FRep), objects are defined by a function f that maps any point (x,y,z) to a real value d, the distance to the objects: f(x,y,z)=d
Chimpanzee
Chimpanzee is a Grasshopper plug-in for Rhino 6, Rhino 7, Rhino 8 WIP and Rhino Mac written in C# which focuses on fractal math and chaos theory. Chimpanzee contains currently 90 components including strange attractors, map & oscillators, 4D hyperchaotic systems, iterated function systems (IFS) a fractals like Mandelbrot set or Julia set using escape time algorithm.
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.
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.
