Bongo 3.0 WIP 17 Now Available

Hi all,

** PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS SOFTWARE **

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Work-In-Progress versions are not production ready and may hang or crash.

Bongo 2.0 users are encouraged to download and try this WIP release of the animation plug-in for Rhino 7, Bongo 3.0.

Bongo 3.0 WIP 17 is now available from Rhino - Download - Bongo for Windows WIP

Rhino versions supported: Beta testing Bongo 3.0 is limited to Bongo 2.0 users. Bongo 3.0 requires a Bongo 2.0 license key. Latest version of Rhino 7.0 or 8 is required to install Bongo 3.0 and can be downloaded from:
Rhino 7 for Windows
Rhino 8 for Windows Dark mode not supported yet

Changes:

  • Bongo version switch updated with Rhino 8

  • Default “Draw point/dot every X ticks” has changed to 1
  • Animate button on the Timeline was updated

Notes: This is the current work-in-progress release of Bongo 3.0 for Rhino. The product is in the very early stages of development any will probably change a great deal before release. This may include the file format, so please do not rely on Bongo 3.0 models working in the future. Bongo 3.0 will read Bongo 2.0 files, but will save Bongo 3.0 data only. This data cannot be read by Bongo 2.0, so please backup any files before using them in Bongo 3.0.

You can get the report by going to:
C:\Program Files\Bongo 3.0 (64-bit)
Right lick the BongoSystemReport.exe and choose to run as Admin. Save the file and send it to me.
You can send it directly to: marika.almgren@mcneel.com or as a PM here on the forum.

Press the Install -button.
Go to:

The C++ SDK is still to be ported to the Rhino for Mac version and before that is done we’re not able to start the work. So at the moment we’re just focusing on the Windows version.
