Introduction

In 2024, we heavily focused on allowing computational designers to build more complex web applications without any need for web development, thus furthering ShapeDiver’s position as a low-code / no-code way to build visually driven web applications based on Grasshopper files for eCommerce, the AEC industry, and beyond.

On the one hand, we released App Builder, a feature that allows the creation of advanced online application layouts based on Grasshopper definitions. 

On the other hand, the new interaction components in our Grasshopper plugin open up more intuitive, flexible ways to control ShapeDiver models. In addition to the traditional parameters, users can now select, transform, and draw geometry directly in the online viewer.

Our Fall Update ‘24 webinar will introduce these crucial new features and show how to combine them into powerful, end-to-end online applications that were previously unimaginable without advanced web and 3D development.

At the end of the webinar, and before our Q&A section, we will have a Lightning Round where our Head of Product, Mathieu Huard, will introduce as many as possible of the other exciting new features we released in the last 6 months, among which:

- A new "teams feature" for Organizations,

- Model tagging and filtering,

- Multiple file export,

- Performance boosts left and right,

- … and many more (if time allows!)

Webinar Overview:

- Date: Tuesday, October 8th, 2024

- Time: 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern, 5pm CEST

- Duration: ~1 hour (without Q&A)

Meet Your Hosts:

Mathieu Huard

Mathieu is the Head of Product and co-founder at ShapeDiver. He focuses on expanding the ShapeDiver product to cater to various industries leveraging parametric design in their workflows. In the context of the AEC industry, he helped push the collaboration and interoperability functionalities of ShapeDiver, such as bridging the online platform with various design software suites, including Autodesk Forma.

He holds a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics. Before founding ShapeDiver, he spent several years with the Vienna-based company Evolute, developing software and consulting for architects and engineering firms. He also gained experience building tools for Rhino and Grasshopper.

Edwin Hernández

Edwin Hernandez is Head of Projects and Senior Computational Designer at ShapeDiver. He studied Architecture at Andes University in Bogotá, Colombia, and Computer Animation at the SAE Institute in Melbourne, Australia.

While he was still studying, he began working as a "solopreneur" with clients in Australia and New Zealand. These clients provided projects that allowed him to gain experience using BIM software, parametric design, and web coding. His experience enabled him to join the ShapeDiver team in Vienna, Austria, in 2017. He has managed multiple projects across more than 15 different industries. During this time, he has learned how to create highly optimized and complex parametric models using C#, custom plugins for Grasshopper, and cloud applications based on Grasshopper.
