Flamingo nXt brings the ray-tracing and Radiosity rendering to Rhino. This easy to use plug-in adds outstanding photorealistic rendering and animation functionalities to the powerful modeling features of Rhino. High quality photorealistic images of your designs can now be created effortlessly.

Flamingo nXt runs inside Rhino and has the same hardware requirements. Rhino with Flamingo nXt runs on ordinary Windows desktop and laptop computers.


Key Features and Benefits

  • Easy to Use - With nXt you don't need to be a professional renderer to get realistic results quickly. You provide materials and lighting and press the Render button. nXt provides the simulation. Unlike many rendering products, there are very few settings to worry about or understand.
  • Physically-Based - nXt produces realistic results by simulating light transport in your model. Indirect lighting as well as complex reflection and refraction can be easily incorporated into the simulation. Interior and exterior daylight simulations, HDR image-based lighting, and many other techniques are all handled easily, with minimal configuration requirements.
  • Fast - nXt uses efficient, modern ray-casting technology to produce results as quickly as possible. All processor cores are automatically utilized in parallel. Images are continually refined and improved over time.
  • Loaded with Extras:
    - Image Editor with support for multiple lighting channels.
    - 3D Plant Editor.
    - Render Farm support.
    - Content libraries (plants, materials, HDRi).
    - Pre-textured mesh support.
    - Support for 3rd party texture sets.

    Flamingo 2 Upgrade

    The biggest improvement is the ability to create a reflected environment from an image. The new interface can be a little confusing at first but took only a few hours to fully understand. Materials all look the same and lighting is still unpredictable and difficult to properly set up. All in all, if you are an avid flamingo user then it is worth the investment. If you are using a different engine like Maxwell or Vray for your final presentation imaging then skip this version.
