Rhino Inside in blender

Rhino.Inside

Anyone try using speckle to send Rhino geometry into Blender? I am experimenting with it and it seems to establish a stable connection where updates sent from Rhino model do not undo all the applied materials/scene setup.

Hi,
unfortunately, this thread is somewhat dead. Yet, I still hope someone can make Rhino Inside Blender happen.

I played a little bit around with Blender and RhinoInsideCPython, and (in a somewhat hacky way), I can now create Rhino Curves using the Blender UI, see attached video. Maybe thatā€™s helpful for someone.

The object is the property ā€œIsRhinoControlledā€, and only if True, a new Rhino curve is computed for each geometry update in Blender. The Rhino curve is then used to create the preview of vertices. The Rhino curve is serialized using the ToJSON-function, which is then written to the Blender object as a property.

Hello. Any updates on this Rhino Inside Blender developing state? :sob:

Hi Gustavo -

Nathan has been working on a Blender plug-in to read .3dm files but as far as I know, nobody is working on getting Rhino inside Blender.

I would actually really like Rhino in Blender. I have friends who use Blender because itā€™s free, but I am a Rhino user (and I barely know any Blender).

Hi -

It sounds like the Blender plug-in that makes that open .3dm files suffices then, no?

I suppose that workflow is fine. Both programs seem to transfer data pretty well, so yeah, thatā€™s a good point.

EDIT: I just ran into this add-on. Havenā€™t tested it. Portal | Food4Rhino
