Agreed, Rhino/Grasshopper is an amazing tool, especially once you start adding in C# components.
I’ve been using it off and on for several years on custom consumer product projects. It’s an under utilized workflow in many fields requiring 3D modeling imo.
I just finished a custom VR gasket generator for the Quest 3 that uses face scans from iPhone as the input and the project wouldn’t have been possible without Grasshopper:

That's rad - thanks for sharing! I'll try to watch the whole thing when I'm not on deadline.
My jewelry work [0] is almost all in Grasshopper, as I've built up such a workflow there over the past... 8 years? that I don't need custom tools for most of it.
But my research work is all about building custom tools in C#. In fact I just finally published my component library yesterday [1]. Frankly I should have released it years ago, but I finally just bit the bullet.
