I went to the Grasshopper Plugin part 2 workshop today and learned some new tools, which I thought were very interesting. He talked about the Heron plugin, which I think can help us in further studio projects and it shows some of the amazing things Grasshopper and Rhino can do. I attached a video below, which explains the plugin better. It pretty much shows you how to bring google maps into Rhino/grasshopper, which will allow you to take the data and convert it into a 3D model of your site. I thought it was pretty awesome and helpful, so I wanted to share it.

That’s Awesome! Thank you… Is there audio in this video?
Unfortunately not, but I was hoping it could show what was possible. You can download sample files on the Digital Futures website, which might be able to help you follow along.
