Webinar: The Next Era for the Treble Web App (May 21st)

Webinar: The Next Era for the Treble Web App
May 21st (US Time slot: 9:00am PDT / EU Time slot: 9:00am UTC)

The Treble Web App is a next generation Acoustic Simulation Software.

Join the Treble team for an in depth session on the latest developments in the Treble Web Application and the broader Treble ecosystem. This webinar focuses on new capabilities that improve analysis workflows, expand integration possibilities, and introduce new approaches to material modeling in acoustic simulation.

The webinar will include the integration with Rhino: 

"Treble’s Rhino plugin streamlines the workflow for simulating acoustics in spaces modeled in Rhino 8. Users can prepare room geometry and upload it to Treble in just a few clicks, then open it in the Treble web app to configure and run acoustic simulations.

The plugin also supports importing existing acoustic models in Treble back into Rhino for editing, making it easy to iterate on the geometry. Looking ahead, Treble plans to build on Rhino’s robust modeling capabilities with additional plugin features aimed at refining simulation model setup."

EUE - End User Event- Utrecht, Netherlands (June 4-5, 2026)

EUE - End User Event 

Utrecht, Netherlands 

June 4-5, 2026 

EUE (End User Event) is the non-profit event from the CG community – to the CG community. 

EUE's goal is to bring together software & hardware vendors, production houses, R&D facilities and other companies active in all aspects of CG, in a relaxed, safe environment, to better understand the needs, possibilities and limitations of our industry. And to foster and facilitate a better understanding and cooperation between the whole ecosystem of Computer Graphics. 

Among the great lineup of speakers, Eva Tucek, Designer and Jeweller, will talk about her work and why she uses the Rhino 3D modelling software: 

"You all know how to use software. That's not the problem anymore. The problem is – what kind of thinking your tools are quietly forcing on you. Because let's face it, every tool comes with a philosophy. Some are honest about it; others are all-in-one shampoo. 

Rhino is a fine luthier's instrument – a violin, perhaps, or a classical guitar. Mathematical in its construction, not trying to do everything, but in the right hands capable of extraordinary expression. And crucially: it rewards mastery over time. 

"Rhino won't make you creative. But it will expose whether you are." – ChatGPT 

Rhino is one of the few tools where your idea can go from sketch… to object… to something you can physically hold and say: 'Yes, I made this – and yes, it fought me the entire way.' And above all, McNeel & Associates have stayed modest when most other 3D software producers have become very expensive, focusing on costly subscription-based loyalty programmes and offering few real upgrades to their platforms. Let's discuss settings, gemstone light behaviour, NURBS surfaces, render composition, and brand perception in the same afternoon. Rhino will be my weapon of choice."

food4Rhino webinar: Effective AI Copilot Workflows with Ant for Grasshopper (May 26, 2026 at 5PM CEST)

food4Rhino webinar: Effective AI Copilot Workflows with Ant for Grasshopper
May 26, 2026 at 5PM CEST

Ant is a context-aware AI Copilot built directly into Grasshopper.

Whether you are an absolute beginner trying to learn parametric design, or an advanced user looking to automate tedious tasks, Ant is designed to drastically speed up your workflow.

In this one-hour webinar, we will show you how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) right on your canvas.

Through live demonstrations, you will learn how to:

• Debug & Learn (Ask Mode): Select any part of your Grasshopper definition and have the AI explain the logic, fix errors, or teach you best practices.
• Design with Words (Edit Mode): Use natural language prompts to instantly generate new node workflows or intelligently modify your existing scripts.
• Code Without Coding (Script Mode): Push the limits of Grasshopper by asking Ant to instantly write custom Python and C# scripts for you.

Join us to see the future of conversational computational design! The session will conclude with a live Q&A.

Speaker: Anmol Singla

“Hi, I’m Anmol, a software developer and a structural engineer. Ant started as a passion project when I pitched the concept of an AI copilot at the AEC Tech Hackathon in London, 2025. After receiving great feedback from the community, I spent the following months of evenings, weekends, and holidays turning that hackathon prototype into a full commercial product. I created Ant because I believe the AEC industry is ready for a new generation of CAD tools. My goal is to build the gold standard for LLM integration in Rhino and Grasshopper. My mission is to ensure that every computational designer has the power of an LLM at their fingertips, fully integrated into their native environment. I’d love to connect with fellow designers and hear how you’re using the tool!”

Monoceros 3 now available!

Hong Kong Drone Module

Drone-based prefabricated architecture using WFC

by Johan Navarro, Estudio panamétrico, 2022

Monoceros is a Grasshopper plugin that assembles discrete modular structures using Wave Function Collapse. You design a set of parts, define how their faces connect, and the solver fills a 3D envelope with valid combinations. The results can be anything from architectural facades and spatial partitions to furniture, game environments, or abstract sculptures.

The biggest change in version 3 is how you set up a project. In previous versions, defining adjacency rules between modules was manual and error-prone, especially with rotated variants. Version 3 introduces connectors: you describe how each module face connects, including its rotation and symmetry, and the full rule set is derived automatically. Modules no longer need to be duplicated for each orientation. The overall setup requires significantly fewer components than before, both from Monoceros and from Grasshopper itself.

Documentation, workflow guides, and example files are at monoceros.tools. The documentation is also structured for AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude, which can help set up and troubleshoot definitions.

Monoceros 3 is free to use with a limited number of solver runs per session. A license removes the limit. Educational pricing is available. Projects from earlier versions can be converted.

Monoceros was originally created by Ján Pernecký and Ján Tóth. Version 3 is developed independently by Ján Pernecký.
