Nature-Render 2.3 for Rhino Released

📢 Nature-Render is a real-time physics renderer that supports rendering effects such as HDR, caustics, depth of field,Scatter,Proxy and volume lighting. It developed by the team behind the acclaimed Sunflower sunlight analysis plugin. 

 Key Highlights of This Update 

• New Scatter and Proxy Features: Generate large quantities of low-poly proxy models that render as the high-detail, complex geometry they represent. Use minimal system resources to create and render vast 3D scenes in Rhino while maintaining smooth performance even with large-scale environments.
  
  
  
  
  
• Dedicated Grass Tools: Developed specialized scatter and proxy tools for grass. Includes commonly used grass types with specific optimizations, allowing you to generate and render large, realistic grassy areas with a single click—infusing your designs with breath, rhythm, and vitality.
  
  
  
  
  
• Innovative 3D Noise Texture for Scattering: Introduces the innovative use of 3D noise textures to control random distribution. This eliminates the tedious steps of selecting maps and setting UVs, simplifying operation and improving usability. Achieve more powerful results with fewer parameters, easily controlling density, distribution rhythm, and shaping visually harmonious landscapes to generate rich, natural scenery with one click.
  
  
  
  
  
• Optimized Plant Rendering Shader: Includes a specially crafted Fast Backlit Subsurface Scattering Shader for leaves, grass blades, and other foliage. This allows plants to appear translucent, realistic, and natural when illuminated by sunlight.

Termite: Rhino Grasshopper Plugin Developed for 3D Printing of Clay

Termite is a plugin developed for Liquid Deposition Modeling (LDM) 3D printing, offering a dedicated toolset for clay and other paste-based materials. Created by Julian Jauk within his research at Graz University of Technology, the plugin has been validated through multiple seminars, architectural prototypes, and international workshops, and is already in active use across several educational facilities.

While most slicing tools are optimized for thermoplastics and small nozzle sizes, clay printing typically uses nozzles between 1–30 mm and requires precise control over path layout, material flow, and printer movement. Termite addresses this gap by integrating essential slicing features—such as custom path generation, sorting algorithms, variable parameters within a single print, inrun speed control for smooth starts, extrusion flattening for reliable adhesion, and automatic detection of path intersections—directly into the parametric design environment of Rhino and Grasshopper.

Termite provides 20 modular components across the categories Main, Create, Sort, Display, and Example, supporting both beginner and advanced workflows. It is designed as an easy-to-use tool for Grasshopper newcomers, with features working immediately after installation, while still offering maximum freedom for experimental fabrication through its open, modular structure. Users can design printing paths in Rhino, Grasshopper, or via Termite’s own components, with all required G-code generated in real time.

Suitable for clay and earth-based mixtures, concrete, biopolymers, biomaterials, and various food-grade pastes, Termite works not only with LDM printers such as the WASP 40100 LDM and Delta WASP 2040 Clay but also with any machine capable of interpreting G-code, including Cartesian and polar printers or robotic arms.

Termite is available for Windows and macOS for Rhino 6 or later. The plugin includes an installer, example files, and a tutorial video. It is completely free to use and can be downloaded via Food4Rhino or installed directly through the Rhino Package Manager.

Rhino User Webinar: Free Form to Fabrication - New recorded webinar now available!

 

If you were unable to attend the latest Rhino User Webinar live, it is now available to view!

Ignacio Fuentes-Cantillana Monereo guides you through the fundamentals of SubD in Rhino and Grasshopper—how its geometry enables complex forms with crisp creases—through a quick form-finding exercise and real project examples. He then moves on to fabrication: panelization, machine-learning-aided layout, and how SubD data drives milling and robotic workflows to deliver complex results.
