Today we are going to take a quick look at some of the best plugins that can be used with Rhino. It is a 3D computer-aided design software that has many Plugins and can help you be more effective and efficient in modeling, animation, texturing, lighting, and rendering as well.
Mech 2 surfaces
This plug-in is made to transform and convert digitized objects from the non-contact 3D scanner to CAD models
Fluid ray
it A great real-time rendering plug-in, it is very important to be used by architects especially in times when there isn't a lot of time.
BullAnt
it comes with multiples tools like Mech relaxation (minimal surfaces), Mech inflation (ETFE cushions), symmetry automation and structural modeling since it offers tools to create structural steel beams.
Aux pecker
This tool enables you to get a direct real-time preview of any object on the viewport of Rhino.
Paneling tools
This plug-in comes with tools to create patterns or different panels.
Evolute tools
This is The perfect plug-in to create panels, it is based on an intuitive design using multi-resolution Mech modeling and Mech optimization.
Visual arc
This plug-in is made to make the life of architects much easier, and the workflow much smooth.
Section tools
This is a very helpful and useful plug-in to create sections in the 3D model.
Grasshopper 3D
This is a great tool to generate complex parametric forms, it is a graphical parametric form generating tool.
Ladybug
This plug-in is made to support environmental analysis, it imports standard Energy plus weather EPW files into grasshopper 3D and gives users multiple graphics in 2D and 3D.
Geco
This plug-in allows you to collaborate and export files to another software called ECOTECT, all this helps users to evaluate the performance data of their project.
Heliotrope –solar
This tool is a plugin Made to calculate the apparent position of the sun and to manipulate geometry according to the position of the sun using different times of the day.
Karamba
This Plugin is used in the structural design field to analyze structures, and also to combine parameterized complex forms and load calculations.
Kangaroo physics
This plug-in is used inside grasshopper by structural engineers to get an intuitive real simulation of their project, generate complex forms, and to optimize and analyze structural components.
