Rhinoceros

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, ….)

what is fryrender?

fryrender is the physically-based light simulator developed by RandomControl.  It is a photo-realistic render engine where all the elements involved in the generation of the final image (materials, lights and cameras) are based on physically accurate models.

On fryrender, when you hit the render button, a simulation of the real behavior of light happens inside.  Because of this, it is possible to achieve hyper-realistic results with minimal effort.

Moreover, Random Control recently released their hybrid-accelerated renderer Arion v1.0. It’s based on their  flagship product – Fryrender but offers a much faster rendering speed while the program can use the CPU, GPU and extra rendering power of other computers via the network(CPU + GPU + LAN).

Plugin for rhino is coming soon, Let’s keep on paying attention to their products.

The realtime render proved useful for design demonstration. Automatic update of render scene is the key feature. Now a new realtime renderer is available for productive usage.

VSR – realtime render plug-in for rhino which allows to switch from modeling mode to high quality visualisation mode. It can be combined with other Rhino plugins as BongoTM and new VSR modeling and analysis plugins currently under development.
