Tools for students

Small, free, single-purpose tools for architecture and design work — turning photographs into 3D, getting GIS into Rhino, and feeling how spatial planning algorithms behave. Most run entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, no account needed. Early versions, workshopped in the open.

Image → 3DEarly

Photo → Point Cloud

Turn a single photograph into a 3D point cloud, in your browser.

Image → 3DEarly

Photo → 3D Mesh

Lift a photo into a textured relief mesh you can export and model with.

Image → 3DEarly

Photo → Gaussian Splat

Convert a photo into a Gaussian-splat scene and view it in WebGL.

GISDownload

QGIS → Rhino / Grasshopper

A Grasshopper definition that rebuilds QGIS site data as Rhino geometry.

PlanningWorking

Reserve Planner — a Marxan in the browser

Watch a conservation / site-suitability plan solve itself with simulated annealing.

AnalysisWorking

Sun & Shadow Studio

Drop a site anywhere on Earth and watch the sun and shadows move.

GISWorking

Site Context Generator

Coordinates in, a 3D city block out — real building footprints, extruded.

AnalysisWorking

Plan Scale Calibrator

Measure any scanned drawing — set one known length, read every other.
