Okapi

Rhino & Grasshopper plugin · v0.2.0+19502 · updated 10/8/2026

New

Visual stress at eye level for Rhino 8 and Grasshopper: while you design, a pedestrian view in front of the facade you are looking at is rendered and analysed - pattern-induced visual stress (own implementation after Penacchio & Wilkins 2015, 2-degree tiling as in Valentine et al. 2025; not ViStA), complexity, colour discomfort (Penacchio et al. 2021) and the shares of sky, buildings, ground and greenery. Values are hints for comparing design variants, not a health assessment.
