AR/VR for Rhino 3D and Grasshopper User Group Meeting - 25th February 2021

On February 25th 2021 Simply Rhino held an online AR/VR for Rhino 3D and Grasshopper User Group Meeting. We had presentations from the Parametric Applied Research Team (p.art) at AKT II engineers in London and from Mindesk which develops a real-time platform for CAD software that allows the editing of 3D models in virtual reality.

Meeting Presenters and Presentation outlines:

AKT II have extensive experience in collaborative computational design. They have developed a suite of tools including structural façade, bioclimatic and sustainable design. Their presentation will use a complex timber gridshell as a cover for a case study on the use of advanced digital modelling tools and their interoperability. Here, a mix of an in-house developed suite of tools paired with Rhino and Grasshopper allowed the AKT II team to respond to an extremely challenging site. Complex analysis on the timber gridshell allowed them to engage fully with the material performance, enabling the architects to maintain a ‘light-touch’ approach and providing a sustainable output.

Mindesk is a plugin for Rhino 3D that allows users to edit .3dm files in VR or have real-time rendering through Unreal Engine. The latest developments include multi-user VR sessions, compatibility with Varjo (retina-resolution headset) and Hololens2, and a series of advanced features for the Unreal live link created upon the feedback of prominent AEC professionals.
