Penguin and Flamingo are still sold because they are part of software bundle. Rhino 6 will have fast display algorithm and its rendering algorithm will probably be faster than Flamingo. Flamingo has always been buggy and the quality of its renderings have always been below average. The most useful p…

does it work into rhino cycles?
