Announced: Winner of the DigitalFUTURES Coding Award 2021!

We are excited to learn that Rajaa Issa, our developer of PanelingTools for Rhino and Grasshopper, has been given the DigitalFUTURES Coding Award 2021.

This award is given to a digital tool that revolutionizes architectural research, practice, or education by offering an advanced thinking paradigm and workflow. 

PanelingTools is widely used to rationalize freeform surfaces and create paneling solutions, from concept to fabrication. 

You can hear Rajaa in a video describing the history, concept, and development behind PanelingTools.

DigitalFUTURES is an educational initiative that organizes workshops, lectures, conferences, exhibitions, book publications, a peer-reviewed journal, and an international PhD program. While emphasizing the latest computational design and fabrication technologies, they also address education's broader ethical and social education issues by providing an ever-growing repository of knowledge accessible for everyone.

Rhino 7 to FELIX Online Render

FELIX Render is a clever cloud-based rendering software for architects and designers. It offers superior rendering quality, rich collaborative material and object libraries, wonderful tools to quickly populate your designs with furniture and vegetation, the comfort of a 100% non-destructive workflow, and fantastic lighting tools. It can handle huge projects from an old laptop. Its performance is almost entirely hardware-independent.

It's very affordable and since the cloud is based on sharing hardware resources, it's also environmentally friendly.

Parakeet plugin now supported on ShapeDiver

Parakeet3D is a collection of digital tools that expands Grasshopper's morphological repository for Patterns and Networks, allowing designers to go beyond old shapes and push the old boundaries to comply with modern design requirements. Designing with Parakeet is simple and straightforward. It's as simple as selecting a tile (grid), then selecting the method you want to use for pattern generation on that grid. And from his week on, it's now supported on ShapeDiver!

OPEN DC - 3D Modeling Complex Shapes with Rhino 7 Workshop (Spanish)

Join Joaquin Laborda in the 3D Modeling Complex Shapes with Rhino 7 workshop at OPEN DC - Online. OPEN DC is a cycle of free seminars and conferences offered by professors from the Faculty of Design and Communication of Universidad Palermo. It is open to the public.

Location: Online from Argentina - Spanish

Date: Friday, October 29, 2021
Time: 4:30 PM (EST)

*This workshop will be taught in Spanish

The objective of this workshop is to address different strategies for the 3D modeling of complex shapes. While the focus is primarily geared toward industrial designers, the techniques can be applied to jewelry design, architecture, advertising, entertainment, and animation. Both NURBS and SubD modeling techniques will be covered using Rhino 7.

One Click LCA for COP26 - free for Rhino users until the end of 2021

Early design stages have the biggest influence on embodied carbon reductions.

Carbon saving potential reduces dramatically throughout the life of a project. But during those critical early phases, it can be hard to assess the impact of design decisions due to a lack of detailed information.

The One Click LCA and Rhino integration enables designers and architects to measure and compare the embodied carbon impact of different options, right from the concept design stage. Making it possible to identify the best material options to slash the embodied carbon of your designs.

One Click LCA is offering Rhino users a free carbon assessment tool until the end of 2021. The tool is fully integrated with Rhino.

Complete details here...

And don't miss the free webinar "How to optimize embodied carbon in early design phases with One Click LCA and Rhino" on October 21 (3 pm CEST).
