Plug-in Support
ShapeDiver now allows uploading models using external plug-ins. So far, the first two plug-ins supported are Grasshopper’s plug-ins Weaverbird and Human. The list of plug-ins will continue to grow steadily.
Weaverbird is a topological modeler that contains many of the known subdivision and transformation operators, readily usable by designers.
Human extends Grasshopper’s ability to create and reference geometry, and allows communication with a Rhino document. ShapeDiver only supports the texture mapping components for now.

API Release
ShapeDiver GmbH also released the API for their viewer, making it possible for ShapeDiver users to integrate the viewer into web sites, e.g. for product configurators or other eCommerce applications.
“It is easy to embed your models anywhere after they are uploaded on ShapeDiver. However, if you want to build a web application, a product configurator or even a full e-commerce system, you will need a little more flexibility. We now provide a programming interface that allows you to create fully custom web experiences based on the ShapeDiver technology”.
