Design and innovate with Grasshopper
Using add-ons and plugins in Grasshopper can significantly extend its core capabilities, allowing you, the user, to tackle more complex and specialized tasks. In this course, we'll explore three popular Grasshopper plugins. Kangaroo, which facilitates real time physics simulations, allowing users to solve complex structural and form finding problems. Ladybug provides valuable insights into climate data, enabling architects and designers to make informed decisions based on environmental factors. Pufferfish enhances Grasshopper's geometric manipulation with advanced transformations and modeling tools. These plugins extend Grasshopper's native functionalities and improve performance by offering tailored solutions for your specific design challenges. I'm Chris Reilly.
