Rhino.io is a connection and import/export plugin that lets you directly open and save native Rhino files (3DM) from within MAXON CINEMA 4D. In addition, models that were changed in Rhino can be updated into CINEMA 4D while keeping material assignments and other changes inside CINEMA 4D intact, enabling you to work with Rhino and CINEMA 4D side by side.
Rhino could therefore act as a NURBS plugin for CINEMA 4D, connecting the best of both worlds. Rhino's precise and extensive CAD and NURBS toolset can be combined with CINEMA 4D's modern and flexible texturing, shading, and lighting tools.
Models imported with rhino.io are also ready to use for any high-quality third-party rendering engines such as V-Ray for C4D, Maxwell, Fryrender, and more.
Rhino.io is available for a limited time introductory price of 79 EUR. The regular price will be 99 EUR.

Collaborative Cloud project
Collaborative Cloud is an installation which investigates distributed and decentralized design and fabrication. The interface (in the link above) allows you to design and give information to a piece of the cloud, thus anyone can participate in the project’s growth over the next 8 months. The physical construction will take place at the Disseny Hub Barcelona (DHUB) in an exhibition titled: LABORATORI DE FABRICACIÓ:Nous escenaris del disseny i la producció tridimensional.
The Collaborative Cloud is a project created by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (iaac.net), organized by the DHUB, and designed by Luis E. Fraguada, Victor Viña, Areti Markopoulou, and YOU!
The project was designed using processing for the interface, and Grasshopper/RhinoScript for geometry and population. Once a user submits a design, the interface outputs a data file as well as a PDF of the piece ready for fabrication. As the database grows, these files are matched with a potential position on the cloud.

CAADRIA 2011 Call for Papers
Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending
The 16th International Conference of the Association for Computer-Aided Architectural Design Research in AsiaDates: April 27-29, 2011
Host: School of Architecture and Built Environment, University of Newcastle, Australia
Conference web site: http://www.caadria2011.com
Contemporary advances in design are shaped by computational design methods, strategies and technologies, regardless of whether these advances are manifested in the design and construction of a building, in related theory and analysis, or in the ways in which future designers and scholars are educated. Architectural computation in the post-digital era calls for new ideas that will transcend conventional boundaries and support creative insights through design and into design. “Circuit Bending, Breaking and Mending” provides an interdisciplinary context for challenging traditional paradigms and invites researchers and practitioners alike to (re)consider and (re)address design and computation with a particular focus on three themes:
- Innovative design conceptualization and support through computational theories and technologies.
- Enhanced knowledge of architecture and design through computational analysis.
- Improved approaches to design education through computational thinking and applications.
CAADRIA 2011 invites submissions of original research papers, posters and exhibitions on topics related to computer-aided design, including but not limited to:
- Design intelligence and automation
- Computational design analysis
- Generative and parametric design
- Simulation and visualisation
- Virtual and interactive environments
- Human-computer interaction
- Ubiquitous computing
- Computer-supported design collaboration
- Design cognition
- Digital art and new media
- Computational research in design education
- Computational research in design practice
- Interdisciplinary computational design research
- Theory, philosophy and methodology of computational design research
