Brilliant news on the release candidate. Is there any news on the release of a Plugin SDK, so we can get some externals render plugins going?

Is it likely to happen in the next couple of months or years? ie. is it worth considering purchasing Rhino OSX (if you need render plugins)?

I can’t answer that. We aren’t diverting any development resources to it until we get Mac Rhino shipped. Then I expect there will be a few major problems that need to be fixed once a larger number of people start using it. Once that dust settles, then the developers go back to working on the miss…

Gosh. I have waited over 8 years so far. I guess I will have to wait a couple more years. I kind of thought that such a long development time would lead to an application which was pretty comparable in features to the Windows version when finally released. It would need plugin potential to be tha…

Rhino for Windows has been in development since the mid-1990s. Many of the features added to Windows Rhino made Rhino attractive and useful to an ever widening circle of potential users. Rendering is one of those enhancements. Instead of continuing to develop Mac Rhino for several more years, we d…

Forgive me, I am only and Architect, not an Industrial Designer. I guess my views are less valid. I would be surprised if Industrial Designers don’t require some rendering output in order to present their design ideas. I would see this as quite a core need. I am well aware of Rhino’s development…

Not at all less valid, just not in the core of who Rhino was originally intended for. Better Rendering and page Layouts are certainly in the core needs of Architects. These tools will be coming along in “dot” updates of Mac Rhino and we intended to complete many of them before Windows V6 is releas…

There are other options in the interim. Maybe not a direct plug and play solution, but if you’re reasonably consistent in how you name things in the project it’s entirely possible to export to another format and import into something mac based that CAN render, and there’s a slug of them out there. …

Thank dan & LewnWorx, Clearly render plugins require the third party developer to do much of the work, but they are telling me that they can’t start until they have more to go on than there is now. I am glad that this seems to be a priority now. I appreciate I can apply materials and render outsi…
