RNDRSRhino viewports, rendered live
You model in Rhino because it's precise and fast. Rendering shouldn't undo that speed. RNDRS turns a viewport capture — shaded, arctic or raw wireframe-over-shaded — into a photorealistic image in seconds, so the design conversation keeps moving.
Drag to compare — one upload, one wire, eleven seconds
From Rhino to photoreal
ViewCaptureToFile in shaded or arctic mode — any resolution
Drop the capture onto the RNDRS node canvas
"Cast concrete pavilion, wildflower meadow, dusk"
Photoreal in ~11 seconds, geometry preserved
Made for formfinding
Complex doubly-curved geometry that chokes material mapping renders beautifully from a simple arctic capture. Iterate the form in Rhino, iterate the image in RNDRS.
Grasshopper-friendly
Baking and capturing parametric iterations? Upload a batch of viewport captures and render the whole option space with a consistent prompt for a clean comparison sheet.
From study model to board
Upscale your strongest option to 4K, extend the crop for a full-bleed layout, then animate a camera push-in for the presentation — all on the same canvas.
Frequently asked questions
What's the best Rhino view mode to export for AI rendering?
Arctic and shaded modes work best — they give clear geometry and depth cues. Use ViewCaptureToFile at 1920px or wider for the cleanest results.
Do I need to apply materials in Rhino first?
No. Materials come from your prompt. A raw white model is actually the ideal input because the AI gets unambiguous geometry to texture.
Does RNDRS work with Grasshopper outputs?
Yes — capture any baked or previewed geometry from the viewport and render it. Many users render whole parametric option matrices this way.
How is this different from V-Ray for Rhino?
V-Ray simulates physical light from a fully prepared scene. RNDRS generates photoreal images from a screenshot in seconds. Use RNDRS to iterate and present concepts; keep physically-based rendering for when you need exact photometric accuracy.
