A new Kickstarter project is proposing a web-based link between Grasshopper and Processing. Chrysalis combines the graphical interface of Grasshopper and the open-source platform of Processing to create a platform for dynamic 3D visualization on the web. Some items proposed include:
- New 3D libraries for Processing to support selected types of NURBS geometry
- Adaptation of some existing 3D geometry libraries for Processing
- New Chrysalis translator app, written in Processing
- New initiator component to run within Grasshopper
- Complete documentation of all included libraries and translator app
From Kickstarter:
The purpose of the Chrysalis project is to make it easier for people to create 3D interactive applications for the web, by combining two already existing platforms: Processing and Grasshopper.
At the core of the project is an open source app, written in Processing, that translates designs made using the intuitive 3D design interface called Grasshopper into working Processing code. Also included are the necessary resources needed by Processing to support some of Grasshopper's special types of 3D geometry, as well as a feature that runs within Gasshopper to initiate the translation into processing.
