Grasshopper Watch Component

[bhowes-tt]

If the WYSIWYG #12 idea works, we might be able to build a watch window in grasshopper. This would be our first dynamo > grasshopper functionality port, and I think it could be super useful. Credit goes to Matt Naugle in CORE studio for the idea - he's been asking for this for a while.

Write a component that takes any grasshopper geometry collection (or a va3c.json file) as an input, converts it to three.js json and bounces it off of a running instance of the node server described in #12, and renders the results in a WebBrowser contol object that is embedded in the grasshopper node and running a stripped down version of the vA3C viewer (meaning the component itself would contain this windows forms control object - the web browser pointing to our local server and running the vA3C viewer).

I have to give this a try as a prototype to be sure it's doable (can a WebBrowser control run webGL?, Will the navigation and everything work inside of grasshopper?, How d you do that to a GH component exactly?, etc) ... but it seems like it should be.
