rhino.io officially released! [new plugin]

[stefan]

see our new plugin rhino.io:



rhino.io is a new import/export plugin, which directly connects Cinema 4D with Rhino.
it enables Cinema4d to open native .3dm Rhino files without any need for conversion.
Rhino can therefore act as a kind of "Nurbs modeling module" to Cinema4d.

all Rhino scene attributes. as materials, layers (also hierarchical stacked), layer colors, blocks, instances, groups, cameras(saved views), lights, splines, mesh and Nurbs objects can be read directly into Cinema4d. rhino.io evermore can also update any changes made in Rhino file to Cinema4d, without loosing any already assigned attributes in Cinema4d.

how does that work?
rhino.io extracts the native so called "render meshes" which Rhino produces for each nurbs objects internally. these render meshes render exactly as the original nurbs objects would render directly in Rhino itself.
therefore, even though Cinema4d has no built in Nurbs kernel, rhino.io enables you to render imported Nurbs exactly as their original would do.

rhino.io does everything automatic, there is no need to tessellate or manual convert anything.
simply drag and drop the 3dm Rhino file, or use the open command, to open any scene created in Rhino.

the Rhino objects get normal c4d objects (with normal tags of course), clean structured , which can be used for further modeling or for direct render. there are no artifacts as this is often in classic manual tessellation. the internal render meshes are absolute clean also in smallest detail. all "ready to render".

Cinema4d has therefore one of the best and most affordable connection to the great Nurbs modeler Rhino.

the plugin is available immediately, special priced for a short period at 79.- euros, after that the normal price for rhino.io will be 99 euros. for more info, in action, visit our website http://www.rhino.io, there is also a small video that shows rhino.io in real world action.

rhino.io is available for windows and osx,
Rhino is available also on both platforms for windows and osx (beta)

we hope some of You became interested by our plugin,
from our tests and internal usage, we see it can be a great work flow enhancement.
