I see, Inheriting from GH_CustomPreviewComponent is kind of workaround but you are right it was broken on v8.0. In theory you should not need to do anything on your side and your component will work again on the next Rhino RC.

[dop1] Human plugin from @andheum [Rhino] Native Custom Preview Component

Ok, I have just a single test user of my plugin on R8 right and they get this error at least once an hour. I may be using the Human preview components in GH, need to check into this further. Cheers DK

Hi @p-e-t-e-r , This is what I get on Rhino 7. Is not same result as Rhino 8? [image]

Thanks for the answer, @kike Yes, everything works fine in Rhino 7. But in Rhino 8, the Preview component of the Human plugin does not work correctly, just like the Component of my plugin. [Снимок экрана 2024-02-01 225119]

@p-e-t-e-r , my capture is on Rhino 7 and red previews (Human Custom Preview) are also “transparent” for shadows. [image] Is not the same issue you are reporting?

Oh, really. Sorry, I didn’t notice that. Ok, in that case, how to solve the problem with shadows in the Custom Preview Component? In Rhino 7, I was helped by inheriting the GH_CustomPreviewComponent class and overriding the AppendRenderGeometry method. In Rhino 8 this no longer works.

Thank you very much, Kike! I will wait for the new version of the Rhino RC.

Hi guys, any idea of timeline for the RC that fixes this issue? I’d like to start testing. Cheers DK

The first version that will include this fix will be available as Rhino 8.5 Service Release Candidate on 13th February.

I don’t see what the problem is right now.
I logged the issue here.
