food4Rhino webinar: App Builder for ShapeDiver

9 July 2024 at 5 PM CEST

During this webinar, ShapeDiver's team will introduce App Builder, their latest feature. This feature allows computational designers to build dynamic and contextual user interfaces for online applications using only Grasshopper, eliminating the need for additional web development. 

Speakers:

• Mathieu Huard. Mathieu is the Head of Product, as well as one of the founders of ShapeDiver. He focuses on expanding the ShapeDiver product to cater to various industries, leveraging parametric design in their workflow. In the context of the AEC industry, he helped push the collaboration and interoperability functionalities of ShapeDiver, such as bridging the online platform with various design software suites, including Autodesk Forma. He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. Before founding ShapeDiver, he spent several years with the Vienna-based company Evolute, developing software and consulting for architects and engineering firms. He also gained experience building tools for Rhino and Grasshopper. 
  
  
• Edwin Hernández. Edwin Hernandez is Head of Projects and Senior Computational Designer at ShapeDiver. He studied Architecture at Andes University in Bogotá, Colombia, and Computer Animation at the SAE Institute in Melbourne, Australia. While still studying, he began working as a "solopreneur" with clients in Australia and New Zealand. These clients provided projects that allowed him to gain experience using BIM software, parametric design, and web coding. His experience enabled him to join the ShapeDiver team in Vienna, Austria, in 2017. He has managed multiple projects across more than 15 different industries. During this time, he has learned how to create highly optimized and complex parametric models using C#, custom plugins for Grasshopper, and cloud applications based on Grasshopper.

ShapeDiver's App Builder: Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper

Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper

Grasshopper users can now design and build parametric web applications with the new App Builder in ShapeDiver.

Have you ever used Human UI, UI+, or any of the wonderful interface plugins to build custom interfaces for presentations and sharing with non-technical colleagues? While those tools are great, they remain limited in some contexts:

• How do you share the user-friendly interface with users who do not own a Rhino license?
• How do you give access to the application without sharing the Grasshopper definition?
• How do you make the application accessible through all types of devices, including mobiles?

The new App Builder components solve all these issues at once. They allow the skeleton of a web application to be specified directly inside Grasshopper. After uploading the file to ShapeDiver, you can open and interact with the web application where the interface is parametrically controlled through the logic you defined in Grasshopper!

The App Builder already allows defining all traditional form inputs (sliders, value lists, toggles, file inputs, etc.), as well as formatted text outputs driven by the parametric algorithm and even image widgets. Of course, the online 3D viewer is at the center of it all.
