Rhino

Hi guys! Terrain modeling in Rhino has always been brutal. Tedious workflows, unpredictable results, endless manual adjustments.

I have been working on this plugin called Terra and this plugin transforms terrain modeling from a painful necessity into an intuitive, even enjoyable process. Real-time editing. Intelligent automation.

:sparkles: What Terra Does:

  • Create Landforms:

Thanks for some of the feedbacks I received!

Apart from the various bugfixes, in the next few updates, I am planning to introduce more features:

  • Optimizes Surface Generation from Features
  • Cut and Fill Analysis
  • Wind and CFD Analysis
  • Better terrain display which incorprates roads and waterways
  • I am also exploring how to incorporate AI chatbot so to generate the diagrams more easily for architects. Things like, map out all the residential buildings around London, or map out all the parks in Berlin… and more!

Stay Tuned!
