Flamingo
Flamingo brings the raytrace and radiosity rendering to Rhino.
Flamingo
The Flamingo plug-in includes:
Rendering
Photometrically accurate images with reflections, refraction, diffusion, translucency, transparency, color bleeding, shadows, depth of field, depth attenuation, ClearFinishTM, and indirect lighting.
Animation
Viewpoint animation for walk-throughs and fly-bys, and sunlight animation for shadow studies.
Other features
Procedural clouds, fractal-generated 3-D plants, procedural 2-D and 3-D materials, progressive-refinement for quick preview, and extensive material, plant, and background libraries.
Hardware requirements
Flamingo runs inside Rhino and has the same hardware requirements. Rhino with Flamingo runs on ordinary Windows desktop and laptop computers, with:
- Pentium, Celeron, or higher processor.
(Dual processors are supported)
- Windows 95/98/NT/ME/2000/XP for Intel or AMD.*
- 40 MB disk space.
- 64 MB RAM. More is recommended.
*Rhino and Flamingo will NOT be ported to any other operating system.
