Can I use my 3D model from Rhino?
Yes. Export a view of your Rhino model as a JPG or PNG and upload it to Image to Render, or export the model as an OBJ or STL file and use 3D Model to Render. No plugin is needed. Rendair keeps the shape of your model and adds realistic materials, lighting and surroundings based on your prompt.

Yes. You can use your Rhino model with Rendair, and you do not need a plugin. There are two ways to do it.
Option 1: use an image of your viewport (fastest)
- In Rhino, set the view you want, for example a perspective of your building.
- Capture or export the view as a JPG or PNG.
- In Rendair, open Image to Render and upload the image.
- Describe the materials, light and setting you want, then generate.
Option 2: use a 3D file
Export your model as an OBJ or STL file (up to 100 MB) and upload it to 3D Model to Render. GLB and GLTF files also work.
Tips
- A simple massing model is enough. You do not need textures.
- Rendair keeps the shape of your model and adds materials, light and surroundings from your prompt.
