In the past couple of weeks, we posted several news related to updates in new Add-ons for Blender that significantly increase the number of options available to develop architectural designs. One of those Add-ons is the Ladybug Tools for Blender. What can you do with that Add-on? By using Ladybug Tools, you can simulate and evaluate the environmental performance of your design.
Recently, the Add-on received an update and is now in version v0.0.201010. You can download the Blender Add-on from this link. Go to the “Other Useful Add-ons” section, and you will find the Ladybug Tools for Blender.
By the way, it uses the Sverchok Add-on to give you visual programming tools. In other words, it makes use of Nodes to give you control over all tools related to environmental design analysis.
