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.
