Blender-Hopper

Powerfull Connection between Blender and Grasshopper

Now we can take advantage of the best of both worlds of 3D modeling and parametrization. Blender-Hopper has arrived to connect the Blender software with the Grasshopper plugin and create new workflow possibilities.

Possibilities:

• Geometry control (adding multiple geometries through rules);

• Information control (vertex-groups, attributes);

• Combination with Blender addons;

• Combination of Grasshopper plugins (climatic, structural, physics simulation, ...);

Read, Write and Edit:

Objects

• Object Data

• Location

• Rotation

• Scale

Mesh data

• Vertices, Edges and Faces

• Vert-Neighbors, Edge-Neighbors, Face-Neighbors

• Vertex Groups

• Attributes

Setting-up:

Blender

• Import the .zip file locally.

Grasshopper

• Drag all the contents of the .ghuser folder into the Grasshopper viewport.

Recommended Workflow:

From Blender to Grasshopper

In this example, we will export the attributes generated by Blender and import them into Grasshopper.

Attention: Apply the geometry nodes modifier before exporting.

From Grasshopper to Blender

In this example, we will create a new attribute based on the position of the vertices on the Z-axis and export it to Blender.
