Rhino Inside in blender

Hello

I saw that the Rhino Inside feature is under development which allows you to transport Rhinoceros resources to any program.

will it be possible to use all the 3D drawing tools in Blender?

has a release date?

thanks

There is a plugin for blender to import 3dm but not for grasshopper

what does this plugin call?

Rhino Inside Blender I tried, but last time Rhino messes with the OpenGL context of Blender, resulting in a crash. @stevebaer also started looking into this a few months ago, but I don’t know how far he got with that.

but what is Rhino Inside for in Blender?
does he have all the Rhino Nurbs 3D drawing tools inside Blender?

Rhino Inside would mean having essentially direct access to the Rhino geometry kernel. You’d still use the Blender interface, but could use surfacing tools once accessed properly.

and has it been released yet?

Do you have a download link?

it’s free ?

What exactly do ask? If Rhino Inside for Blender has been released?

bilico · February 5, 2020, 5:44pm

Yes

and where do i download?

Not sure if you read my first response, but Rhino Inside does not work in Blender yet. As such there is nothing to release.

If I ever get it to work then the add-on to Blender itself probably will be free (who knows), but you’ll still need a valid Rhino license to install Rhino and run it inside Blender.

what is the current version of rhino3dm-master?

does it work on Blender 2.81?
it’s free ?
can you give me the download link?

how is it installed?

anon39580149 · February 6, 2020, 12:49am

Did you check the link in blender forum?

bilico · February 6, 2020, 1:46am

it was not clear to me how to install the addon?

Do you have a detailed tutorial?

anon39580149 · February 6, 2020, 1:49am

Everything in the thread ;and @nathanletwory is the developer
Try and ask him if you have problem

what is the advantage of this addon: import_3dm?

does he import the models in nurbs into blender?
do models stay in nurbs in the viewport?

anon39580149 · February 6, 2020, 11:20pm

Try is better than asking

bilico · February 6, 2020, 11:23pm

I can’t install

when installing the addon blender 2.81 says it installed but I can’t find anything in the interface that might indicate that it is installed

Enable the add-on through Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.

Once enabled you can use File > Import menu to see the 3DM import entry,.

bilico · February 7, 2020, 3:58pm

nothing from 3dm import appears in the preferences window - addons

what is the advantage of this addon: import_3dm?

does he import the models in nurbs into blender?
do models stay in nurbs in the viewport?

what is the difference of importing a rhino file with your addon in relation to the .obj and .fbx files?
