Rhino-Blender LiveLink Add-on similar to Keyshot?

Plug Ins

Hello everyone,

I’m using Rhino for 3D modeling and sometimes KeyShot for rendering, but I feel much more comfortable working in Blender. I find it easier to build scenes, Cycles works great with GPU rendering, and overall Blender fits my workflow very well.

However, there is no live link between Rhino and Blender, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a plugin or workflow that could help connect these two pieces of software.

Ideally, I’d like to import a Rhino model into Blender and be able to refresh the geometry after making changes in Rhino, while keeping the object’s position and the materials already assigned in Blender.

Thanks very much for your help and insights!

Kind regards,

Hi @hugo2
That’s an old request try searching in the search function for “Blender” there are many posts.
We all want this but nothing has been done except Nathan has created an exporter that allows blender to read Rhino files but it’s not a link, like we requested years back.
Here’s a thread to get you started.
