Rhino 8 – Sun and Sky Render by SimplyRhino UK
This beginner-level video, created by Phil Cook from Simply Rhino UK, demonstrates how to create an interior architectural visual in Rhino 8 using the built-in Sun and Sky system and Rhino’s Raytrace render engine.
The video begins by introducing a method of setting up the interior perspective view by controlling Rhino’s camera widget before applying library and custom materials to scene elements.
Phil then looks at setting up the Sun as a direct illumination source and replacing the default environment with the Physical Sky model to connect the sun and sky.
The final rendering is created with the Raytrace render engine. Phil outlines how to use post effects to improve the exposure and how to export a transparent background so that the color-ramp sky can be easily replaced with a photographic image in subsequent editing.

ShapeDiver's App Builder: Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper
Build web applications entirely from Grasshopper
Grasshopper users can now design and build parametric web applications with the new App Builder in ShapeDiver.
Have you ever used Human UI, UI+, or any of the wonderful interface plugins to build custom interfaces for presentations and sharing with non-technical colleagues? While those tools are great, they remain limited in some contexts:
- How do you share the user-friendly interface with users who do not own a Rhino license?
- How do you give access to the application without sharing the Grasshopper definition?
- How do you make the application accessible through all types of devices, including mobiles?
The App Builder already allows defining all traditional form inputs (sliders, value lists, toggles, file inputs, etc.), as well as formatted text outputs driven by the parametric algorithm and even image widgets. Of course, the online 3D viewer is at the center of it all.

Rhino User Webinar: Small is Big
During the Vienna Architecture Conference in 1992, a round table discussion took place at the MAK Austrian Museum of Applied Arts. The participants included renowned architects such as Wolf Prix, Zaha Hadid, Eric Moss, Lebbeus Woods, Thom Mayne, Steven Holl, and Carme Pinos. Some of these architects expressed frustration over the limited scale of their projects and the marginalization of their role compared to commercial enterprises. However, despite these challenges, many of these architects became influential figures in the field and successful entrepreneurs.
What is crucial to acknowledge is the pioneering role these architects played during that period of small-scale projects. During this time, they embarked on experimental endeavors, laying the foundation for their future business success. Additionally, these projects played a significant role in the development of computational and parametric architecture.
At External Reference, we recognize the importance of interior spaces as small, private projects that were once the subject of frustration among architects like Wolf Prix at MAK. Today, we understand that these projects served as experimental laboratories, leading to the remarkable growth and development of the architects who participated in the Vienna Architecture Conference in '92.
At External Reference, we prioritize research and innovation, working on diverse projects, including waterfront development and museums. We acknowledge that interior spaces, once considered small and insignificant, have now emerged as crucial laboratories for exploring cultural, political, and environmental agendas in contemporary conditions.
About the speaker:
- Carmelo Zappulla, an Italian-born architect (1978), is the founder and managing director of the Barcelona-based architecture studio External Reference, which develops international work at different scales, including exhibition spaces, architecture, urban, interior, and product design.
