📝 Overview (Last Update July 15)
This plugin lets you export Grasshopper animations into D5 Render and Twinmotion by baking mesh deformations and transformations into .glb
and .abc
files.
It also works in other software that supports these formats, such as Unreal Engine (not officially documented yet).
✅ Supports parametric forms, kinetic facades, morphing surfaces, Kangaroo physics, and more,
as long as mesh structure stays the same.
🎯 What You Get

🚦 Limitations
