Spacely AI is now on Rhinoceros 3D. The plugin renders photorealistic visuals straight from your Rhino viewport — no render-scene to set up, no export to a separate engine. You stay in the model you're already working in.
Rhino 3D is where the hard geometry gets made: the free-form surfaces, the parametric forms, the shapes other tools can't hold. But turning that geometry into something a client can react to has always meant stepping outside Rhino — building a render scene, exporting to a separate engine, and often losing the form-finding idea somewhere in the handoff.
The Spacely AI extension closes that gap inside the tool you're already in. Below, we'll walk through what it does, how to install it, and how to render your first view.
The Spacely AI plugin brings that generative rendering inside Rhino, so you can turn a viewport into a photorealistic, client-ready render without leaving the model. It runs the same designer workflow as the SketchUp extension and as of today, it's live.
The workflow that defines it: render straight from your Rhino 3D viewport. No render-scene setup. No hours of work before your first result. Your 3D model stays untouched.
No lights to place, no material libraries to wire up, no render queue. The geometry you've modeled becomes the render.
You can also render Rhino work in the Spacely AI website — capture a viewport as a PNG or JPG, upload it, and apply Realistic Render, then refine with Point & Edit and upscale with Enhance Quality 4K.
How do I render a Rhino model with Spacely AI?
Set a perspective view in Rhino, choose a style, and generate a photorealistic render directly in the Spacely AI panel. The render is created from your viewport in seconds and saves to your Project Folders.
Does it work with complex NURBS and free-form geometry?
Yes. Spacely AI renders from your Rhino viewport, so whatever geometry is visible in your view — free-form surfaces, NURBS, complex massing — is what gets rendered.
Will the extension change my Rhino model?
No. Spacely AI renders are generated from your views and never alter the underlying Rhino file. Your model stays exactly as you built it.
