Rhino Reference Renderer

Choose the camera angle in Rhino, pick one reference photograph and make a quick architectural draft render.

Use

  1. Open a Rhino model and position the active viewport.
  2. Click the Rhino Reference Renderer button on the Runchat toolbar, or type RC_ReferenceRenderer.
  3. Choose one of the five ArchDaily reference photographs or add your own photo.
  4. Click Render current view. The app captures a fresh view each time and returns one image.

Capture current view previews the view without rendering. Uploaded reference images and the latest render are saved to your Runchat app state.

Requires Rhino 8, Runchat for Rhino 0.3.79 or later, and the Runchat panel connected. The draft uses Flux 2 Klein; each render spends the signed-in user's credits. AI renders can change geometry: compare the result to the Rhino model.

The example photos and project credits are linked in the app.

Installed tools appear on a Runchat toolbar in Rhino 8 or later with the Runchat plugin, and you can type their command name.
