Rhinoceros

This video shows how to create toon materials in vray for Rhino 3D.

It seems that Mcneel started testing a new user interface with the cool tab function. It allows you to easily intergrate your most used tools into Tabs.

Add tabs:

Usage:

If you want to switch to new ui, just type the command: testfancytoolbars and open your default toolbar layout(*.tb) or the  file (*.rui) of  Automatic Generation. The program will convert the toolbars you tick into tabs Automatic, You can also drag other toolbars whatever you want to insert an existing tab.

Other Commands:

TestsetPascalColors

TestSetdrawColors

LayoutWorkspace

testFancyToolBars

TestToolbarOptions

TestsetViewportBackground

You can even change the tab/background/… colors to match your taste.

Do you have some ideas about this new user interface? For me, it looks ok.

A plugin you might find helpful.

 Rhino.io is a new connection and import/export plugin, that lets you directly open and save native Rhino3d (.3dm) files from and into MAXON Cinema4d. In addition, updated files in Rhino3d can be merged and they will be automatically updated into Cinema4d. This enables Cinema4d users to use the model in Rhino3d and CINEMA4D at the same time, any update in Rhino3d will be transferred to Cinema4d.

Rhinoceros 3d could therefore also act as a “NURBS plugin for the Cinema4d“, connecting best of both worlds. Rhino3d’s precise and extensive CAD and NURBS tool set, with Cinema4ds modern and flexible tools. Rhino.io imported models also are ready to use for any high quality 3rd party engine like VRAYforC4D, Maxwell, Fryrender, ….)
