Fix the view
Save a named view (NamedView) in the Perspective viewport and keep the camera level so verticals stay straight.

Before you start
Prepare your Rhino viewport capture
Rhino and Grasshopper are where complex forms get resolved, but rendering curved surfaces and panelized facades takes setup. Capture the viewport, describe the materials and site, and explore looks for the form in RenderChat before committing to a full render.
Pick a display mode
Arctic gives soft ambient shading that reads form well. Shaded or Pen also work. Bake or preview the Grasshopper geometry you want to see.
Capture at high resolution
Run ViewCaptureToFile at 2× scale or more with the grid and axes switched off.

Prepare your Rhino viewport capture
Fix the view, pick a display mode and capture at high resolution. The checklist above has the details.
Open RenderChat with GPT Image 2.5
The start button on this page opens a new chat with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst selected. You can also pick it from the model menu in the composer.
Upload and write the brief
Attach the image and say what must stay, then the materials, light, setting and people. Start from an example brief below.
Refine in chat
Ask for changes in follow-up messages. GPT Image 2.5 continues the same conversation, so a short instruction such as "warmer light, keep everything else" is enough.
Download the render
Download the image at the resolution you chose (1K).
Example briefs
Rhino briefs to start from
Copy a brief, paste it into RenderChat with your Rhino viewport capture, and change the materials and mood to match your project.
Photoreal render of this Rhino model. Keep the curved roof, fin spacing and camera. White-oiled timber fins, polished concrete floor, a lake behind, golden-hour light, a few visitors for scale.
Turn this Rhino facade capture into a photoreal render. Keep the panel geometry. Perforated anodized aluminium panels in champagne, dark glazing behind, street-level view on an overcast day.
GPT Image 2.5 in RenderChat
Working with GPT Image 2.5
OpenAI's GPT Image 2.5, offered in RenderChat as two variants, Sunburst and Flare. Both run as native conversations, so every follow-up message keeps working on the same image thread. Sunburst is RenderChat's default model.
- Start with Sunburst. Switch to Flare in the model menu when you want a second read of the same brief.
- Write follow-ups as edits ("keep everything, warm the light") rather than restating the whole brief.
Quality check
What to check before you share it
- Panel joints and fin spacing on curved surfaces.
- Edges where two surfaces meet — check the AI has not smoothed a crease away.
- Scale: add people or furniture in the brief so the form reads at the right size.

FAQ
GPT Image 2.5 Rhino questions
Is GPT Image 2.5 available on the free plan?
Yes. GPT Image 2.5 is available on the Free plan as well as Pro.
What resolution does GPT Image 2.5 render at?
GPT Image 2.5 renders at 1K in RenderChat, with auto + 10 fixed ratios.
Can I keep refining a GPT Image 2.5 result in chat?
Yes. GPT Image 2.5 runs as a native conversation in RenderChat, so each follow-up continues from the previous turn. Short edit instructions work well.
How do I select GPT Image 2.5 in RenderChat?
Use the start button on this page — it opens a new chat with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst selected — or choose it from the model menu in the chat composer.
Does it work with Grasshopper geometry?
Yes, as long as the geometry is visible in the viewport. Preview or bake it, then capture the view as an image.
Which Rhino display mode works best?
Arctic is a good default because its soft shading describes curvature without competing colors. Use Shaded when color separation between materials matters.
