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.

1

Fix the view

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

2

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.

3

Capture at high resolution

Run ViewCaptureToFile at 2× scale or more with the grid and axes switched off.

  1. Prepare your Rhino viewport capture

    Fix the view, pick a display mode and capture at high resolution. The checklist above has the details.

  2. Open RenderChat with Nano Banana 2 Lite

    The start button on this page opens a new chat with Nano Banana 2 Lite selected. You can also pick it from the model menu in the composer.

  3. 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.

  4. Refine in chat

    Ask for changes in follow-up messages. Nano Banana 2 Lite continues the same conversation, so a short instruction such as "warmer light, keep everything else" is enough.

  5. 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.

Parametric pavilion
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.
Facade study
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.

Nano Banana 2 Lite in RenderChat

Working with Nano Banana 2 Lite

The Lite model in Google's Nano Banana 2 family, run in RenderChat as a native conversation.

  • Use it for quick direction tests, then move the chosen direction to a larger model.
  • Short, concrete briefs work best: material, light, time of day, people or no people.

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.

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.
