Rhino Rendering

Boost your Rhino workflows and capture the life in your designs.

Transform your Rhino models into stunning visualizations

Since its first release in 1998, Robert McNeel & Associates Rhinoceros 3D has become an innovative architectural design tool known for its ability to help architects incorporate polygon meshes, point clouds, solids, surfaces, and NURBS curves into their design workflows.

And with all the standard 3D modeling tools, Rhino makes it possible for architects to give both form and function to their most creative ideas.

With Lumion 3D rendering software for architects, you’ll never have to guess what your Rhino design will look like. Lumion conveys the beauty of your Rhino designs by unveiling them in a detail-rich context with beautifully textured materials.

And the best part — Lumion is easy to learn, reducing the time it takes to create images, videos, and 360 panoramas of your most innovative Rhino models.

How Lumion works

By pairing your Rhino modeling workflow with Lumion 3D rendering, you can dramatically reduce the amount of time it takes to truly capture the life, beauty, and emotion of your designs.

To use Lumion, all you need to do is import your model and then start shaping the surrounding landscape with reliable, familiar tools. You can dress your building design in high-quality materials that feel real, add interior and exterior objects to show a living environment, and then render a photorealistic or conceptual result.
