Grasshopper is a great tool for parametric design. You can almost design anything you can think of(keeping the structural parameters aside). Especially using the Attractors- Curve/Point, one can design a flexible parametric object/structure.
Louvers have always been planar- vertical/horizontal. Even though non-planar louvers have not been seen in implementation yet, I think it would be a real deal in the coming future.
Non-Planar Louvers
There was a post by Kwee How in his blog explaining "How parametric design contributes to “new” architecture and to us?" He's shown various 3D printed miniature parametric models and parametric louver is one of them.

The following tutorial by Christopher McAdams explains in detail how to design non-planar louvers in grasshopper that can be adjusted using a curve attractor. And he also explains the possible fabrication of these louvers though not in 3D.
