SURPIK3D - nNw stitching tool for Rhino


SURPIK3D is a new plugin for Rhino and Grasshopper for digital designers in CMF, textile and leather industries (footwear, leather goods, apparel, interior design, furniture, automotive, aircraft, and more) who need to quickly generate stitching and splitting on soft parts of a 3D model for technical or rendering purposes.

You can configure different types of stitching and splitting thanks to the parameters in the user interface and get these as real geometries.

VisualARQ Inside.Revit video



The Rhino.Inside.Revit technology allows you to run Rhino and VisualARQ inside Revit. Using Grasshopper as a bridge, the Rhino geometry and VisualARQ objects can travel back and forth from Rhino to Revit.

The VisualARQ.Inside Revit workflow offers a simple way to make this conversion by providing the Grasshopper definitions needed to transfer all the geometry and information with just one single click.

With this workflow you will be able to:

  • Transfer all the VisualARQ objects from VisualARQ to Revit
  • Transfer Rhino geometry from VisualARQ to Revit
  • Use the IFC VisualARQ features to tag Rhino geometry with an IFC type so that it will be transferred to Revit as if you had exported to IFC
  • For some objects (walls, slabs, doors, and windows), their styles will be automatically transferred as Revit types so that they will be Revit native objects
  • Transfer all the VisualARQ parameters associated to objects with their values
  • Update all this information anytime

Bella 22.3 for Rhino released


Diffuse Logic is pleased to announce the public release of Bella 22.3, which introduces its new Saturn solver

The Saturn solver is built on a novel new architecture, which enables fast, fully spectral rendering, as well as the ability to stop at a given perceptual noise level and use the same solver for preview and production rendering. With CPU performance on par with some GPU renderers, Saturn, which features native support for Apple Silicon, also serves as the basis for the ongoing development of hybrid CPU/GPU support in Bella.

Additional features introduced in this release include an optical vignetting element that simulates cat-eye bokeh, simulation of sensor noise and film grain, the ability to override transmittance color when using measured complex IOR data which can be especially useful when rendering gemstones, as well as various enhancements to the Bella GUI application. 

As always, Bella 22.3 is freely available to demo with no time limit.
