Flamingo is an advanced photo-realistic rendering software for Rhino 3D models.  It brings raytrace and radiosity rendering to Rhino. This plug-in includes:

Rendering
Photometrically accurate images with reflections, refraction, diffusion, translucency, transparency, color bleeding, shadows, depth of field, depth attenuation, ClearFinish™, 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 2000/XP/Vista.*
• 200 MB disk space.
• 512 MB RAM. More is recommended.
*Rhino and Flamingo will NOT be ported to any other operating system.

Bongo™ brings professional animation to 3-D models in Rhino 3.0 or 4.0, using familiar keyframe tools found in most high-end animation packages.

Professional animation tools
Animate moving, scaling, and rotating Rhino objects without exporting. Objects and viewport animations are editable in the Rhino window using simple drag and drop. Modify your objects and motion data without losing valuable time changing between programs.

Easily preview your animations inside Rhino, in real time, in any shading mode by scrubbing the timeline or playing the animation. Then render straight to an animation file using any Rhino renderer including wireframe, openGL, render preview, render, TreeFrog, Flamingo, and Penguin.

Bongo is also great for demonstrating moving objects using real-time playback in the Rhino viewports - just drag the timeline around to show a client how your design works.

Penguin brings freehand sketching, watercolor painting and cartoon-like rendering to 3D models in Rhino and AutoCAD.

What is Penguin?
Penguin is a conceptual, sketch and cartoon, non-photometric scan line renderer. With Penguin you can create stylized images of your models with an artistic look for enhanced graphic and visual appeal.

Requirements

Penguin for Rhino
Penguin runs inside Rhino and has the same hardware requirements. Rhino with Penguin runs on ordinary Windows desktop and laptop computers.
Penguin works with Rhino 3 and 4.

Penguin for AutoCAD
No special hardware is needed beyond what is required for AutoCAD.
Penguin works with 3D models of AutoCAD 2000 to 2008, including AutoCAD Architecture and AutoCAD Mechanical.
