AI rendering for Rhino for Mac NURBS, SubD, and Grasshopper views.

In Rhino for Mac, save or duplicate the view you want to present, switch to a clean display mode, hide construction curves, helper layers, dimensions, or annotations unless they need to be visible, and frame the object or space with enough room around it. Capture the viewport and use RENDERCAD to explore material direction, studio lighting, architectural mood, or product context from that image. For Grasshopper studies, capture a representative option instead of the definition view, then iterate on the visual language before committing time to detailed rendering, texture work, or export cleanup.
Modeled by CADSharp in Onshape. Rendered with RENDERCAD.

Tired of keeping up with the latest gen AI models? RENDERCAD is powered by a proprietary ensemble of the most cutting-edge AI engines, always up to date and fine-tuned to strictly maintain your design intent.
| Feature | RENDERCAD | Rhino Render for Mac |
|---|---|---|
| Engine | Generative AI | Cycles-based Rhino Render and Raytraced display mode inside Rhino for Mac |
| Output | Images + Video | Rendered viewport captures and still image output from the Rhino render window |
| Resolution | HD / 4K | Viewport, preset, or custom pixel dimensions; practical limits depend on scene complexity, settings, and Mac hardware |
| Image Speed | ≈10 - 60 Seconds | Varies with geometry, materials, samples, lighting, resolution, and Mac hardware |
| Video Speed | ≈1 - 5 Minutes | Animation rendering is frame-based and depends on scene complexity and render settings |
| Scene Set Up | Zero | Rhino model with display mode or render materials, lights, environment, camera, ground plane, texture mapping, and quality settings |
| Input | Screen Snip | Native Rhino model, display mode, viewport, named view, or render window workflow on macOS |
| Hardware | Cloud GPU | Desktop Rhino workflow on supported macOS systems |
| Install | None | Built into Rhino for Mac; third-party render plugins require separate setup and Mac support can vary |
| Cost | from $20/mo | Included with a Rhino license; third-party render plugins may require separate licensing |
Read the numbers. We trust you to know theirs.
Skip the setup tax. Pick the condition, material, and background with just a click while RENDERCAD handles the heavy lifting. No lighting rigs, no environment setup, no 45-minute wait; get photorealistic results in seconds.

Get StartedCommon solutions for Rhino for Mac users
Instead of complex UV mapping, upload your image or use the RENDERCAD overlay tool to snip your screen. Type "Carbon Fiber" in the prompt, select "Exact" style, and in about 10-60 seconds, the AI will retexture your image realistically.
Snap a picture using the RENDERCAD overlay. Select the "Realistic" engine, set Condition to "Clean," and prompt "Brushed Aluminum." The AI applies the texture orientation correctly to your geometry.
Don't struggle with refraction settings. Upload your image or snip your view with RENDERCAD, set Style to "Creative," and prompt "Clear Glass." The engine handles transparency and light bending automatically.
Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD Studio. Add "Cold beverage with condensation" to your custom prompt. The "Realistic" engine will generate realistic droplets on the surface.
Use the RENDERCAD overlay. Prompt for "Injection Molded Plastic" and in Advanced Settings, set Condition to "Clean" for a smooth, factory-fresh look.
You don't need texture maps. Upload your image or snip your screen with RENDERCAD, then set Advanced Settings > Condition to "Dirty" or "Heavily Used" to instantly apply rust and age.
Capture your model and prompt "Oak Wood" in RENDERCAD. The Image-to-Image engine generates a unique, non-repeating grain pattern that fits your object's form.
Upload your image or snip your screen. In RENDERCAD, prompt "Polished Gold" and set Background to "Grey" or "Gradient." The AI generates the necessary reflections to simulate a metallic surface.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Capture your screen and use the custom prompt "Glowing Neon Blue Lights." The AI paints the bloom and light spill directly onto your image.
While RENDERCAD generates full rectangular images, you can set the Background to "White" or "Grey" in Advanced Settings for easy masking in post-production.
Upload your image or snip the model, then prompt for "Denim," "Cotton," or "Velvet." RENDERCAD applies the weave texture naturally over the surface.
