Two models. One Rhino capture.

FLUX 3 Image now sits next to GPT Image 2.5. Both read the same capture and the same request, and you pick the look for each render. Drag across the image to compare them.

GPT Image 2.5 render of the seafront hotel at golden hour

FLUX 3 Image render of the same hotel from the same capture and request

Prompt Sent to both models

Preserve geometry of organic curved hotel with flowing cantilevered balconies, slender vertical fins and a central glazed spine. White glass fiber reinforced concrete, timber soffits, transparent reflective glazing, and visible warm interior lighting. Calm high end architectural visualization on a seafront promenade with palm trees, low planting and a few people. Muted natural tones, serene atmosphere, subtle depth, and realistic archviz mood.

Time of dayGolden hour WeatherClear sky

GPT Image 2.5: The default. It leans into mood and drama, follows lighting moods closely and holds dense layouts well.
FLUX 3 Image: Calm and photographic. It follows the description closely and does not add stray text. Describe the scene and it shines.

Edit and Expand run on GPT Image 2.5. The captures come from How to Rhino course models, rendered at 1K.

Build the look like a Grasshopper definition.

Every part of a render is a node. Wire a style into your viewport, swap it, and render again. Pick one of the 12 built-in styles to try it.

From viewport to render in four steps.

This is Simple Mode, the quickest way in. Scroll on and watch one render happen, from the Rhino viewport to a second light on the same camera.

1
Capture

Frame the shot in any Rhino 8 viewport and press Capture Viewport. RhinoFrame takes the view in the display mode you already use, so the AI starts from your real geometry, not an exported screenshot.
2
Describe

Write what you want in plain words, or leave it empty. Time of day and Weather set the light without typing.
3
Render

Pick GPT Image 2.5 or FLUX 3 Image and press Render. You see the credit estimate before you render, and the result lands right in the panel.
4
Iterate

Change one thing and render again. Here only Time of day moved from Dusk to Night. Every result stays in your history, and Open in Advanced takes the setup to the node canvas.

One panel, one button.

Capture, describe, pick a style and a model, render. The credit estimate shows before you render. It is the panel you just scrolled through.

Prompts, styles, references, sketches and edits become nodes. Compare and expand finished renders, then save the setup and reuse it on the next project.

Which Rhino versions are supported?

RhinoFrame runs on the latest Rhino 8. Rhino 7 and Grasshopper components are planned for later phases.

Is this for Windows or Mac?

Both. RhinoFrame runs on Rhino 8 for Windows and Mac, installed the same way on each through Rhino's built-in Package Manager. See the install walkthrough.

How much control do I have over the result?

You compose the render as a node graph, so you control the prompt, style, reference images, and how the scene is interpreted. Iterate quickly by changing nodes and re-rendering until it looks right.

How much does it cost?

While RhinoFrame is in beta it's completely free to use. When we introduce pricing later, we'll share the details well before anything changes.

How do I get access?

RhinoFrame is in free beta. Sign up with the form above and confirm your email. As soon as your account is approved, we email you the install steps, and your starter credits are ready when you sign in.

Which AI models does RhinoFrame use?

GPT Image 2.5 by OpenAI is the default, and GPT Image 2 is still in the menu. FLUX 3 Image by Black Forest Labs is there for a more photographic look. You pick the model for each render. Edit and Expand use GPT Image 2.5.
