Grasshopper
A visual node-based programming plugin embedded in Rhino (Rhinoceros 3D), used for parametric geometric modeling in architectural and industrial design. It holds a dominant position in architectural parametric design and supports a rich plugin ecosystem.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Parametric design has long been mature in professional CAD, for example FreeCAD's spreadsheet-driven modeling, OpenSCAD's scripted modeling, and Rhino's Grasshopper visual programming.
Grasshopper is a visual programming plugin embedded in Rhino (Rhinoceros 3D), where users build logic for generating geometric forms by dragging component nodes and describing data flow with wires.
Grasshopper dominates the field of architectural parametric design and has spawned a large plugin ecosystem, including Karamba for structural analysis and Kangaroo for physical simulation.
