Rhino Beta Feature: Grasshopper 2 (Beta)

Serengeti (Rhino BETA) Grasshopper2
21

When grasshopper first launched it was fairly bare bones and surprised everyone with its success. The development of plugins continues to drive its popularity.

In GH2 we’ve have a number of developers involved in bringing up the component parity as well as Documentation and Core Development (K, Mathais, Ehsan, Andy, Curtis, Daniel, Will, Giulio, Callum, Kike, Luis, Pierre, …)

Grasshopper 1 isn’t going anywhere, Gh2 has passed some major milestones (hence the feature announcement) but its going to take time to get its plugin ecosystem going, how these two track only time will tell. It’s safe to assume both will be in Rhino for the foreseeable future.

That’s exactly as it should be. The posters above who seem to think that GH2 should replace GH1 have no idea how many businesses rely on elaborate GH1 definitions which may include any number of third party plugins.

GH2 is a very exciting addition, but dropping GH1 is a great way for McNeel to shoot themselves in the foot by stopping established customers from upgrading to any new version of Rhino which does not include GH1.

hayte to say it but number 1 thing would be nice to have a GH1 skin for GH2 because the style is so unfamiliar.
