Tools for Designer-X
Small, free, single-purpose tools for architecture and design work — turning photographs into 3D, getting GIS into Rhino, sizing greenery with the green plot ratio, and wiring up TouchDesigner. Most run entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, no account needed. Early versions, workshopped in the open.
Photo → Point Cloud
Turn a single photograph into a 3D point cloud, in your browser.
Photo → 3D Mesh
Lift a photo into a textured relief mesh you can export and model with.
Photo → Gaussian Splat
Convert a photo into a Gaussian-splat scene and view it in WebGL.
QGIS → Rhino / Grasshopper
A Grasshopper definition that rebuilds QGIS site data as Rhino geometry.
Reserve Planner — a Marxan in the browser
Watch a conservation / site-suitability plan solve itself with simulated annealing.
Sun & Shadow Studio
Drop a site anywhere on Earth and watch the sun and shadows move.
Site Context Generator
Coordinates in, a 3D city block out — real building footprints, extruded.
Plan Scale Calibrator
Measure any scanned drawing — set one known length, read every other.
Field to Film
Compose Luma/Higgsfield-grade architecture videos from images, slides, YouTube references, and prompts.
Green Plot Ratio Calculator
Size the greenery on your site with a leaf-area-weighted density metric.
Plot Ratio & GFA Calculator
From a site area and plot ratio to a buildable envelope in one screen.
TouchDesigner Recipes
Copy-paste starting points for real-time visuals — Python, GLSL, and CHOP wiring.
Shader FX Studio
Animated gradients, liquid glass, and real-time visual effects — in your browser.
