Now, countless iterations can be rendered directly within Grasshopper for final showcase renderings. All those options had to be baked and rendered, which was very time consuming.
When I was working for UNStudio, we frequently had to present different design variations to Ben van Berkel, the company’s founder. The rendering inside Grasshopper will contain all the geometry, with the flexibility to carry out real-time parametric façade adaptations. Now, all the Rhino geometry can be imported into Grasshopper via the Geometry node and connected to V-Ray within Grasshopper. Imagine that you are modeling a whole building within Rhino, and adding a parametric façade in Grasshopper. If you’re familiar with Grasshopper, you’ll know that large Rhino scenes are often a combination of Rhino and Grasshopper geometry. Instead, you can render Grasshopper geometry directly inside Grasshopper, in full V-Ray quality. With V-Ray for Grasshopper you no longer need to do that. Imagine that you have a very complex parametric model, and you’d like to visualize six different iterations of the design. However, the real power of Grasshopper is its parametric environment, with real-time shape shifting and countless iterations. Why is this such a big deal? Before this integration existed, any geometry created in Grasshopper had to be baked (translated to Rhino geometry), before it could be rendered inside of Rhino. V-Ray is a huge timesaver in the parametric design process Excited by this new integration, I took a dive into V-Ray for Grasshopper to see how it works, and what it can do. And V-Ray can now directly be used within Grasshopper for Rhino. With VRscans material integration, it’s easy to add incredible realism in a few clicks. V-Ray 3.6 for Rhino delivered major improvements in functionality, ease of use, rendering speed, seamless multi-platform communication, and support for Rhino 6. We asked Imago Design founder Jan Kokol to explain what’s new, and how it’s going to change his workflow. With V-Ray for Grasshopper, included in the latest version of V-Ray for Rhino, users can create photorealistic imagery from within Grasshopper. Rendering parametric designs with V-Ray for Grasshopper
