New SubD (Rhino WIP) video

In this video, Phil Cook from Simply Rhino UK takes a look at SubD, or Subdivision Surface Modelling, that is being developed for Rhino v7.

The video starts by examining SubD surfaces and how these compare to NURBS before moving on to look at some examples of how and why SubD can be used alongside the traditional NURBS workflow in Rhino.

Houdini and Grasshopper interoperability

HouGh is a set of Grasshopper tools designed to provide interoperability interface between Houdini and Grasshopper by reading and writing Houdini geometry JSON file format.

HouGh brings the best of two worlds together. Houdini’s polygon mesh modeling, volumes, simulations ..., Grasshopper’s/Rhino openNURBS engine, amazing resources, and community. Apart from the fact that the two software are low level, fully parametric, and procedural modeling tools with endless possibilities.

HouGh is written in Iron Python and fully open source. Everyone is welcome to take part in further enhancement.
