This month, we’re going to take an in- depth look at the last update to one of these – namely, V-Ray for Rhino, developed by the Bulgarian team at Chaos Group. While Rhino has its own built-in rendering tools and its own add-ons (Flamingo and more recently, McNeel has built in the open source Cycles renderer), there are a range of third-party vendors looking to add their own special brand of magic. Whether you’re using Rhino for product development, architectural design or something else, there is a huge range of options. One of the most popular classes of add-on is rendering and visualisation. Whether you’re looking for stress analysis, CAM or a niche add-on to assist in the development of boat hulls, they’re all available. Thanks again.The final reason for its popularity is, I suspect, the huge wealth of third-party add- ons for the system. After 7 years, Rhino is a gray program for me unless adding solid colors that don’t need variations. That can’t be right, or if it is, it’s pretty stupid? It’s why I almost never do color/texture modeling. Of course I end up with 10-12 versions of the same material in the material palette. The last time I pointed that out someone (NOT McNeel crew) felt insulting my tech ignorance would help.Īnyhoo, I have been able to add texture to models making duplicates of a material and setting scale and rotation, then assigning to individual surfaces. Same with other mind twisters like G0, G2, etc, (I do kinda understand those) WTF is a Brep? I get that Rhino is really an art to math convertor, but for me it’s weak in helping those of us not from the math side of that equation. I don’t speak the language and everything about the lexicon is the opposite of what is obvious in my pencil/marker/paint world. I get this warning “Some of the assigned material are using WCS/OCS or WCS (Box-style) blah blah blah…” I already glazed over. It probably has to do with how I assign materials or some such.
