Neon 1.0 now available for Rhino 5 Users
Neon is a real-time, ray-tracer viewport plugin for Rhino 5 on Windows. Note to readers, Rhino 5 for Mac is not yet released. Neon adds a new working viewport mode called “Raytraced with Neon” and you can implement rendering within it.
Some cool things about Neon for Rhino 5 is that it works with the rendering acceleration boards from the Caustic Series2 by Imagination Technologies.
Other Imagination Technologies News
Those Imagination Caustic Series2 interactive ray-tracing acceleration boards are now shipping. Architosh would love to see these boards come to Mac 3D apps and give Mac Pro users another reason to support Apple’s top machine.
