Chaos Group releases V-Ray 5 for Rhino

Chaos Group has released V-Ray 5 for Rhino, a powerful new update to bring realtime rendering into Rhino and Grasshopper. 

V-Ray for Grasshopper is included with V-Ray for Rhino and includes a collection of nodes to support V-Ray geometry, lighting, materials, rendering, and animation. Use Grasshopper's node system to use V-Ray's functions.

Some of the key features are:

• Live Link component for V-Ray Vision. Visualize your Grasshopper designs in realtime. Build models, apply materials, and set up lights and cameras with immediate feedback.
• Light Gen. Lighting options are generated automatically and displayed as a series of thumbnails, making it easier to find the best look and mood for a scene. 
• Redesigned V-Ray Frame Buffer (VFB). Now includes some of V-Ray 5’s most user-friendly features, making it easy to apply finishing touches to any rendering. Composite render layers, make color corrections, and instantly adjust the lighting.
• Light Mix. Interactively change the color and brightness of any light without rendering again. You can add image adjustments like exposure control, color balance, and color corrections. 

V-Ray 5 for Rhino is compatible with Rhino 6-7. For more features and pricing, visit the V-Ray 5 for Rhino product page.

Free GhPython Introduction Course by Niloofar Zaker

Rhino3D.Education invites you to sign up for the GhPython Introductory Course by Niloofar Zaker. 

Python is a well-established component in Grasshopper. It's easy to learn and has a fast programming language. Enroll in this free introductory course and enjoy learning how coding works in Grasshopper!

In this introduction to GhPython course, you will learn the basic components of GhPython like variables, operators, etc. Also, some essential conditionals for loops and while loops. As well as its functions and how to make points, curves, shapes and divide them and how to make complex geometry like snowflakes and anti snowflakes.

Niloofar Zaker is a computational designer who works on parametric modeling in Rhino and Grasshopper with Python. She has a background in architecture, and after several years of working in this field, she believes coding is becoming the language of the near future. She is excited to share her experiences with you throughout the course.

The Architecture Machine Exhibition

The Architecture Machine

October 14, 2020 - January 10, 2021

The Role of Computers in Architecture

For the first time in German-speaking countries, the Architekturmuseum der TUM presents a large-scale exhibition on the computer's influence on architecture. Covering from the 1950s to the present, the show recounts this fascinating history in four chapters which sum up key developments of the so-called digital revolution: The computer as a drawing machine, the computer as a design tool, the computer as a medium for storytelling, and the computer as an interactive platform. The fundamental question that guided the two-year research project is simple: Has the computer changed architecture, and if so, how?

Digital Crafting webinar by Yoshio Fukumori

 

CEDIM-The School of Design will be hosting a webinar with Yoshio Fukumori as the speaker. He will focus on Digital Crafting and talk about the intersection between digital tools and local manufacturing processes as a collaborative feedback methodology. Some of the designs that will be presented were created using the Weaverbird plugin in conjunction with the new SubD tools from the Rhino 7 beta.

Yoshio is an architect from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. His work focuses on the intersection of digital tools with artisanal production processes. He has worked in leading architecture offices such as Rojkind Arquitectos and was Senior Manager Computational Designer at WeWork. He is currently an Architect Designer at Mad Architects.

Join the webinar online via Zoom

Date: November 4, 2020

Time: 6:30 pm (GMT-6:00)
