Rhino User Webinar: Building 3D Web Apps with Rhino Compute and Modelup

 

Rhino User Webinar
Tuesday, April 8, 2025, 3:00 PM (CEST)

Join us in this webinar to explore the art of building 3D web apps and configurators with Rhino Compute and Grasshopper. We will share our best tips and tricks for creating an excellent user experience while avoiding common pitfalls. You will also get a demo of the Modelup platform, where Grasshopper users can upload definitions and turn them into interactive, web-based configurators.

About the speaker:
Emil Poulsen co-founded Modelup, a company that builds web-based 3D apps and configurators powered by Rhino and Grasshopper. Emil has a background in architecture, engineering, and software development and has previously worked at companies such as Thornton Tomasetti and Buro Happold.

Rhino User Webinar: NodePen - Grasshopper on the Web

 



Rhino User Webinar
6 June 2024 at 3:00 pm (CEST)

NodePen is Grasshopper on the Web and is also perpetually unfinished. It has been in development since the earliest versions of Rhino Compute, and over the years, it has taken on many forms and attitudes on the problem of web-flavored Grasshopper

This webinar will be a more technical exploration of the history of the project's many revisions, detailing the goals, challenges, and successes. We will end with a demo of where things stand today and some of the latest thoughts on where things are going. Where does a project like this belong in a world with successful offerings like Grasshopper 2 and ShapeDiver? What has Speckle unlocked for the future of a collaborative "platform" for Grasshopper? And what unhinged things will Chuck say about a project he refuses to let die?

About the speaker:

  • Chuck Driesler graduated with a B.Arch from Pratt Institute in 2019. He has worked on several technical teams within the AEC community, including HOK buildingSMART, WeWork, Pollination Tools, and Hypar. He recently moved to London and is currently a software engineer at Speckle.

ShapeDiver & Rhino Compute Explained!


As 3D modeling and design become increasingly complex, many designers and engineers turn to cloud-based solutions to streamline their workflows and collaborate more effectively with colleagues, clients, and other stakeholders.

If you are thinking of or currently working on a project that requires running parametric CAD models on the cloud, read the following article. It explores the differences between using Rhino Compute and ShapeDiver through five common use cases.

Rhino User Meeting Zürich by Design-to-Production - 7 December 2023


Rhino User Meeting Zürich
Solutions for and from the Timber Industry
7 December 2023


On December 7th, Design-to-Production is hosting a Rhino User Meeting dedicated to software usage in general and specifically in the timber industry. After an update from McNeel’s developers, 18 professionals will share their work, tools, and thoughts in short presentations throughout the afternoon, followed by a social event around a drink. Our goal is to share our common challenges and identify new ways to solve them, ideally learning something in the process!

Whether you are a timber contractor, project manager, software developer, cabinet maker, or Rhino user (or not!), we are sure that you will find something to pique your interest and have a great afternoon!



The Rhino User Meeting is by invitation/application only, as space is limited. Fill out this form to apply.

Rhino User Webinar: Harnessing the Power of Generative Design to Shape Better Cities


Rhino User Webinar

In this webinar, we’ll meet Parametric Solutions, a Swedish proptech startup working to improve the built environment by using generative design and artificial intelligence. With Rhino's geometry engine and Grasshopper scripting language at its core, they have created a web-based platform that lets architects and property developers create and explore different design possibilities directly in the browser.

This webinar will focus on showing and discussing the possibilities of Rhino Compute in developing cloud-based geometry applications for the AEC industry. Parametric Solutions will share some of their experiences of working with Rhino in the cloud and demonstrate their platform, and some advantages of working with generative design and AI in early-stage property development. They will also explain their self-developed concept of design objectives—a semantic representation of important criteria influencing design choices.

About the speakers:

  • Sofia Malmsten is the CEO and cofounder of Parametic Solutions. With one foot in architecture and the other in programming, she wants to use her skills to create new tools and technology to form better urban environments. This drive led her to found Parametric Solutions with a clear vision of helping the AEC industry to raise quality and efficiency with the help of AI and generative design.

  • Alexander Radne is a computer scientist and software developer passionate about city planning and the built environment. With a master's degree in theoretical physics and complexity theory, he has a strong foundation in complex problem-solving and algorithm development. Alexander has many years of experience working with various AEC-related software development projects and is an advanced Grasshopper user. Alexander is currently working on improving the generative algorithms in the platform with the use of design objectives.

KUKA|prc in Unity Visual Scripting – Association for Robots in Architecture


Robots in Architecture has been kind enough to share its new project that links KUKA|prc with Unity and Rhino.Compute:

"While Grasshopper is extremely strong at defining geometrically complex operations, it is less optimized for processes that incorporate live sensor feedback or branching data paths, due to its fundamentally acyclic, directed graph.

In our research at Creative Robotics we have integrated KUKA|prc into the game engine Unity and its included Unity Visual Scripting system, that features an accessible integration of state machines.

As Unity cannot cover the same scope of geometrical operations as Rhino, we still utilize Rhino and Grasshopper via Rhino.Compute for pathplanning, while depending on UVS’ state machine for controlling the process flow."

Bridging Data Science and Architectural Practice (by KPF and IAAC)

Bentall Centre’s Computational Design model in KPF’s Scout web platform

David Andres Leon (Head of Computational Design IAAC) and Brandon Pachuca (Urban Data Scientist + Web Developer at KPF) have been kind enough to share their latest article Bridging Data Science and Architectural Practice - Emergent applications of cloud computing in practice and academia.

A great intro to RhinoCommon, Grasshopper, Rhino.Inside, Rhino Compute and Hops:

"Architecture and computer science are becoming increasingly intertwined. The data science industry found a promising niche to leverage big data, machine learning, and web development to create viable products to automate workflows and bring new insights to market. Architecture can benefit from these trends, adapting product and web development to support advanced simulation and visualization practices."
