From Rhino to Review: Live Collaborative Design Reviews and AI Rendering in the Browser
Rhino is where you bring your vision to life, but the sketching, brainstorming, and collaborating that get you there happen everywhere else. In this session with Matt Jezyk, we bring it all into one shared space, connected live to your model. Stream your Rhino model into Motif, review it with anyone in a browser, mark it up in 3D space with comments that sync back to your Rhino file, and generate AI renderings from any view without ever exporting.
Rhino is where you bring your vision to life, but the sketching, brainstorming, and collaborating that get you there happen everywhere else. In this session, we bring it all into one shared space, connected live to your model. Motif is a browser-based workspace that connects directly to Rhino: you stream your model straight in, anyone can open it in a browser to review with you, mark it up in 3D space, and comments sync back to your Rhino file. We'll also generate AI renderings from any Rhino view without ever exporting.
Motif was founded by the former CEO of Autodesk and the team that built Revit and AutoCAD. They're building a shared workspace that sits alongside your tools, with live connections to Rhino, Grasshopper, Revit, and Dynamo.
Good to know: your reviewers and clients need nothing installed. No CAD license, it all runs in the browser. Your IP stays yours: every AI provider Motif works with has contractually agreed never to train on your work.
To follow along you'll need Rhino 8 for Windows or Mac, a free Motif account (sign up here, there's a short onboarding flow once you enter the product), and a modern browser (Chrome recommended). A promo code for an extended free license will be shared before the workshop.
- Connecting Rhino (and Grasshopper) to Motif and streaming a live model
- Running a real design review: 3D markups, location-aware comments, and bidirectional sync back to Rhino
- Building a client-ready presentation with live Views and Frames. No more dead PDF presentations
- Generating AI renderings from a Rhino view, purpose-built for architecture rather than generic image generation
- How to fit all of this into a live project workflow
